The attention of DOGS NSW members is drawn to Dogs Australia Regulations Part 8: Member Bodies & Membership, Section 2:  Membership, Clauses 2.1 & 2.3), as follows:-

SECTION 2
Membership
2.1    A member of an ANKC Ltd Member Body must, as a minimum, be a member of the Member Body for the jurisdiction in which they reside.  This membership shall be regarded as the person’s Primary Membership.  A member of a Member Body shall have a maximum of 1 (one) Primary Membership.  This will not prevent persons from joining the Member Bodies of other jurisdictions, either individually or in partnership. (Added 02/21, 5.4 effective 01/07/21)

2.3    A person shall only be permitted to transact all member services, ie, register and maintain a prefix, register a litter or a dog, apply for a title or participate in a Judges Training Program, or undertake an activity similar to aforementioned, in the jurisdiction in which they hold their Primary Membership as defined in 2.1, above. (Added 02/21, 5.4 effective 01/07/21)

Further, in accordance with a long standing agreement between Dogs Australia Administrators, which was re-affirmed at its meeting in October 2022, applications received from members of other Member Bodies should be rejected and the member advised to submit their application through their own Member Body.

Therefore, DOGS NSW members must submit all applications for processing through DOGS NSW Office.
