Dogz Online is a strong community dedicated exclusively to purebred dogs and Dogs Australia (ANKC) and Dogs New Zealand (NZKC) registered breeders.
Our purpose is to continue supporting ethical, registered breeders, promoting education, and helping prospective dog owners find a purpose bred, purebred dog from Australia & New Zealand’s largest, longest-standing, and most trusted online community for pedigree dogs.
Dogs Australia (formerly the Australian National Kennel Council) and Dogs New Zealand are the official governing bodies for purebred dogs in Australia and New Zealand, and the only internationally recognised kennel clubs in the respective countries.
They set and enforce strict standards for breeder registration, animal welfare, breeding practices, pedigree records, and dog shows.
Breeders registered with Dogs Australia or Dogs New Zealand must follow a code of ethics, maintain accurate pedigree records, and are accountable to an independent governing body. This helps ensure puppies are responsibly bred, true to type, and raised with care and transparency. Unlike other sites, Dogz Online exclusively works with these breeders, giving buyers confidence, traceability, and peace of mind when choosing their future dog.
You can check each breeders' membership number on their breeder profile page or their listings under the section titled "Approved Breeder". Every breeder on Dogz Online has been screened and verified that they are registered Dogs Australia (ANKC) or Dogs New Zealand (NZKC) Breeders.
Pedigree purebred dogs offer predictability, transparency, and represent responsible breeding standards. Key reasons many people choose a pedigree purebred dog include:
- Predictable traits: Size, temperament, coat type, and general characteristics are more consistent and easier to plan for.
- Known ancestry: Both parents are the same recognised breed and registered with Dogs Australia (ANKC) or Dogs New Zealand (NZKC), with documented pedigree history.
- Ethical breeding practices: Registered breeders must follow a code of ethics and are accountable to an official governing body.
- Health testing: Responsible pedigree breeders test for breed-specific hereditary conditions, giving buyers the best chance of a healthy puppy.
- No guarantee with "hybrid vigour": Crossbreeds are not automatically healthier - health depends on the genetics and testing of the parents.
- Better transparency: Pedigree dogs come with verified parentage, registration, and breeder support.
- Wide choice: With over 230 recognised pedigree breeds, there is likely a breed suited to most lifestyles and households.

If a pedigree dog isn't the right fit for you, adopting a crossbreed from a rescue or shelter is a wonderful alternative and helps reduce the number of dogs needing homes.
