Welcome to A-PAH

Australian Pups and Handlers

Australian Pups and Handlers was incorporated in 2025 as a national resource for Pups and Handlers and their clubs.


Our aims are:


  1. To provide a supportive environment for people interested in the Pup and Handler lifestyle.
  2. To provide a safe and inclusive space for members and the community to engage and explore the Pup and Handler lifestyle.
  3. To conduct events throughout the year across Australia, including the Australian Pup and Handler Competition (APHC); and
  4. To liaise with other similar groups in the community around Australia and engage in activities which assist in achieving these goals.
