Dog Registration

Registering Your Dog
Registering a dog with the QWCDTAI is a member privilege. Members, please refer to page 23 of 28 of your rule book for details. Some extracts from the rule book are included on this page.

All dogs registered under the QWCDTAInc register must meet the criteria set by the Association. The association accepts no responsibility for the lack of any working ability of any pups sold of registered parents.

(Rule book 2021 Page 25/26)

All dogs competing in a QWCDTA trial must be registered; allowing one (1) season for newly started dogs before registration. UNLESS a dog gains a placing 1st – 6th in an Open or Novice trial – then the dog must be registered, even if within the one (1) season grace period.

Object of classification is the means by which the QWCDTA accept dogs for registration
Two (2) classifications:

Bloodline Register (BLR) – must produce three (3) generations of known bloodlines before they can be registered (IF NOT TRIALLED)
Trialled Register (TDR) – all dogs that are trialled
(Rule book 2021 Page 25/26)

The QWCDTAI Register
There are over 4400 dogs registered within the QWCDTAI registration database.

Responsibility for recording dogs within the register is the role of the QWCDTAI Registrar who holds the master copy of the QWCDTAI Register. Copies of the database, either controlled or uncontrolled will not be provided to members or other parties. Members may request from the Registrar an emailed copy of any dog’s pedigree, or information about a dog’s breeding at no charge.
