The Australian National Kennel Council Ltd (ANKC) was established in 1958, now known as Dogs Australia. Is the ONLY internationally recognised registry able to issue certified pedigrees for purebred dogs.

If you have doubts if a breeder is registered contact your ANKC State office to confirm them.
