Dogs Tasmania, also known as the Tasmanian Canine Association Inc (TCA Inc), is the leading sports club for purebred canine activities in Hobart, Tasmania. Their primary focus is on organising shows and obedience trials that are open to all breeds of dogs. In addition to these activities, Dogs Tasmania also hosts retrieving trials and field trials specifically for Gundog breeds such as Pointers, Setters, Spaniels, Retrievers, and Utility Gundogs like Weimaraners.
Dogs Tasmania is also proud to offer Tracking Trials, a relatively new discipline in the state, in collaboration with various obedience clubs. These trials test a dog's ability to follow scent trails and are a great opportunity for dogs and their owners to showcase their skills in a unique and specialised event.
As a member of Dogs Tasmania, dog owners have access to a wide range of benefits and resources. Members can participate in scheduled shows and trials throughout the year, as well as access important forms and documents related to membership, breeding, and showing/trialling. The club also provides a directory of local breeders who are TCA members, making it easier for individuals to find reputable breeders in the area.
To ensure easy membership payment, Dogs Tasmania offers an online platform where members can conveniently pay their membership dues. This simplifies the process and ensures that dog owners can quickly and easily become part of the vibrant community within the club.
Dogs Tasmania takes pride in its role as the administrative organisation for all purebred canine activities in the state. They are dedicated to promoting responsible dog ownership, fostering the welfare of dogs, and creating a supportive and enjoyable community for dog owners.
