In 1922 The Kennel Association of Queensland (KAQ) and the Queensland Bull Dog Club issued the Volume I of the Canine Stud Book of Australia.The dogs are listed alphabetically under the various breeds, and the information supplied includes the dog’s name, registered number, sex, color, owner, breeder, birth-date, sire and dam, and grand-parents. In addition, there is a full list of the names and addresses of breeders.
The registration numbers are not consecutive, every breed starts again with #1. This stud book was not a compilation of the dogs registered to be entered to a Dog Show and the registration was not mandatory.
25 volumes of the Canine Stud Book were published, the last one for the year 1946.
Brilliant to see, thanks you. Are they available digitally at this stage? That would be wonderful if they were..
