President’s Message

e have seen our dog world ramping up with an array of conformation shows and dog sports events happening in Queensland and inter-state. As I type this message this is the week for the Rottweiler National on our grounds. I have no doubt that this will be a successful event and I wish all the participants and organisers well. Great to see both conformation and dog sports events catered for. We are entering those spectacular winter months here in Queensland and let’s hope that some long sunny days with crisp nights continue. The Durack grounds look an absolute picture and that is the result of much hard work by our DQ grounds staff and volunteers. A big thank you to them and also to our Grounds Committee members.

Final finishing touches are happening with our lure coursing field. Do have a look at the field on the right as you drive in. I cannot believe how the levelling and use of quality fill has expanded the look and utility of this land. A big thank you to Craig Drury and to the clubs and Grounds Committee for the hard work in making that happen.
Mandatory DNA Testing At the Board Meeting on 27th June, the Board discussed at length the need for Dogs Queensland to continue to be the gold standard in the breeding of pure bred dogs. As a further step, the Board is keen to introduce a measure whereby any litter whelped on 1st January 2023 or after would require DNA Profile for Parentage – i.e. DNA Profiles of the Sire, the Dam and all puppies. So this would be mandatory for both Main and Limited Register dogs.
