Welcome to Dogs Tasmania (Tasmanian Canine Association Inc (TCA Inc)), the premier organisation overseeing all pure-bred canine activities in the state. Our diverse range of activities includes shows and obedience trials open to all breeds of dogs, as well as retrieving trials and field trials specifically catered to Gundog breeds such as Pointers, Setters, Spaniels, Retrievers, and Utility Gundogs like Weimaraners. Additionally, several obedience clubs affiliated with us conduct Tracking Trials, a relatively new and exciting discipline in the state.
