About the Club The Beagle Club of Victoria (Inc) was established in 1964 and is affiliated with the Victorian Canine Association.
The Club today is run within the guidelines of a formal Constitution and holds quartlery General Meetings (February, May, August, & November) on the second Wednesday of the month at 7.30PM at an address provided prior to the meeting, as we don't currently have a permanent place for meetings.

Walks and Hunts The walks and Hunts are available for all members of the BCOV and are held at varying locations throughout Victoria at intervals throughout the year. More details of the walks and hunts can be found in the bi-monthly newsletter - Paw Prints. Litter Information As a service to both its members and to the public in general, the Club maintains details of members who are registered breeders, who have puppies and older dogs for sale. A breeder must be a member of the Club for over 6 months before they can sell a litter of puppies through the Club. If you are looking for a beagle puppy check out "acquiring a beagle" for some very good information. We also have a Puppies for Sale page, where details of litters that are currently for sale are displayed. Advice about Beagles If you have enquiries about the breed in general (is this the breed for you, what should you know about the breed before considering a puppy, behaviouretc), please call the Breed Advisory Officer, Judy Oliver. Beagle Club Newsletter Club members receive the Bi-monthly publication, Paw Prints, either by email for a full colour version, or by ordinary mail as a black and white printed copy. The newsletter contains details of all Club business, as well as articles on our breed and canine affairs in general, of interest to Beagle owners. It also contains show results, special wins (from any form of competition), births, deaths, and any articles members would like to have included. The magazine also provides for general advertising by members as well as yearly advertising for breeders, stud dogs and litters and provides an excellent medium for reaching the majority of concerned Beagle owners of Victoria.
