Please be advised that a new Scale of Charges has been implemented effective 1 December 2025.

The updated Scale of Charges can be accessed on the Dogs Victoria website: https://www.dogsvictoria.org.au/forms/fees-scale-of-charges/

All forms that include fees have been updated accordingly. Please ensure you download and use the new versions of all forms.

Additionally, due to a significant number of declined payments, a declined credit card fee will now be applied.

Please also note that manual litter registrations will now incur a processing fee. To avoid this fee, members are encouraged to submit litter registrations via Show Manager.

Thank you for your cooperation.

We have been advised that a scam has been sent to some members from “Track A Pet” advising that their pet’s microchip number has expired.

Please delete the email if you receive it and do not click any links.

 

If you would like to, you can contact your local council directly to verify your pet’s registration status.

Dear Members,
Dogs Australia has noted in its recent Board Minutes that the FCI has reminded them of a clause in their agreement relating to the registration of kennel (prefix) names with the FCI. This process has existed for many years, and some Australian breeders already choose to register their prefixes internationally for additional protection.
Dogs Australia has also confirmed that it has no intention of taking this matter further at this time.
In line with this, DOGS Victoria wishes to reassure Members that we will not be introducing any compulsory requirement for FCI prefix registration.
We appreciate that our Members already manage various costs associated with breeding, membership, and renewals. We do not believe that an additional international registration fee needs to be added unless a Member personally chooses to take up the option.
What this means for Members
• Your DOGS Victoria prefix remains fully recognised and protected within Australia.
• There is no requirement for you to register your prefix with the FCI.
• Members who wish to register voluntarily may do so directly with the FCI. The fee, set by the FCI, is a once-only cost of 10 Euros (approximately AUD $16).
DOGS Victoria will continue to adopt a practical and member-focused approach. If circumstances change or further information becomes available, we will update Members promptly.
Kind regards,
Debbie Parker, Office Operations Manager
