Dogs Victoria (Victorian Canine Association) is the peak body representing owners and breeders of purebred dogs in Victoria and has a history dating back to 1877. More than 280 individual clubs representing a single breed, a group of breeds or all breeds are affiliated with Dogs Victoria.

The main activities of Dogs Victoria include:
Formal registration of purebred dogs and pups/litters.
Representation of the viewpoints of members to the Victorian and local governments, and through the Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC) to the federal government.
Promotion of purebred dogs through a monthly magazine, website and community promotions incorporating our 280 affiliated clubs.
