The Royal New South Wales Canine Council is a governing body in New South Wales, Australia which represents the interests of dog owners, breeders and fanciers. It is an affiliate of the Australian National Kennel Council (ANKC).
In Australia, the ANKC does not deal directly with the public, rather, for all matters pertaining to the world of purebred dogs, individuals must go through the representative canine councils of their states.
On the 30th April 1993 Her Majesty the Queen granted approval for the prefix Royal to be used by the Canine Council.
The Royal NSW Canine Council now trades under the name DOGS NSW, the current chairman is Mr Tom Couchman.
The major function of the Canine Council is the maintaining of its Register for pure bred dogs, some 25,000 of which are registered each year. The Council is also responsible for the control of canine clubs (societies/associations), affiliated for the purpose of holding championship shows, parades and trials, the publication of a monthly journal and the conduct of training schemes for aspiring judges and their subsequent elevation to approved judges panels. The principle objects of the Royal New South Wales Canine Council are:
1. To promote and raise the standards of breeding of purebred dogs;
2. To promote and encourage the breeding of purebred dogs;
3. To educate the members of RNSWCC and the general public in relation to all aspects of purebred dogs;
4. To promote and assist and to make contributions to canine veterinary research and to create and endow scholarships and fellowships.

“When other helpers fail and comforts flee, when the senses decay and the mind moves in a narrower and narrower circle, when the grasshopper is a burden and the postman brings no letters, and even the Royal Family is no longer quite what it was, an obituary column stands fast.”
—Sylvia Townsend Warner (1893–1978)
“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“I just come and talk to the plants, really—very important to talk to them, they respond I find.”
—Charles, Prince Of Wales (b. 1948)
“I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
