Trying To Find The Oldest Breed Club In Australia

[Airedaler]

Hi All,

The Airedale Terrier Club of Victoria Inc. founded in 1929 is the second oldest Breed Club in Victoria. (The British bulldog Club of Vic was established in 1912.)

There has been a claim made that the ATCV is in fact the second oldest Breed Club in Australia and I am trying to verify if this is correct.

If anyone knows of a Breed Club anywhere in Australia that was established prior to 1929 could you please advise me of the details.

Alternatively does anyone have any ideas of where I could find this information.

The first dog show was held in Tasmania so I would be checking with T.C.A. I am sure their records would give you the details of the clubs.

If Norm Neilsen (former state secretary) was still alive he would be able give the full detail right off the top of his head.
