Having enjoyed his successful year as the Queensland Handler of 2025, making his mark as a QPAH Executive Committee Member and beginning his own House of Ruff Pups, Handler Joel has decided to take his Puppy School on a National Tour to see how many kinky pups he can get to: Sit. Stay. Learn.

Australian Handler Contestants
Each contestants have supplied a biography, get to know them below!
Handler Joel
Tom
Hi all! Handler and leatherman from Boorloo-Perth, I’ve been part of WA-PAH since 2019. You can usually find me yapping away about something nerdy (even in the club), and always happy to give scratches to good boys. I’ve been lucky enough to make so many deep connections in this community and I’m looking forward to making so many more!
Australian Puppy Contestants
Cerb - Support Pup
Awroo! I’m Cerb – Support Pup. I’ve participated in WA and VIC PAHs and now an active committee member of SA PAH. I’m famous for being super welcoming, being a MASSIVE nerd and my shibari rope art. My goal is to ensure safe, inclusive and supported spaces. I aim to share the same love and support provided to me by my family – biological and chosen. I’m committed to being there for people in their time of need. I know together we’ll build a diverse family built on support and respect. Come find me or the support bag if you ever anything.
Victus
G'day all, Victus is here, his sunnies are on, and he is ready to party, Awrooooo!!!
Victus is an overly energetic puppy based in Naarm/Melbourne who gets really excited meeting new people. Ever since he became a pup in November, he has blossomed into a chaotic pup of compassion and joy, focusing on inclusivity and care to those that are entering the community or already apart of it. With his constant enthusiasm and overbearing friendliness, Victus loves to be approached for conversation and is always trying to be the goodest boy he possibly can!
Thorium
Hey it's that radioactive science dog from Queensland Thorium here. Here to be the next Australian Puppy for 2026. If you can't find me, try looking by the urinals I seem to always end up there. A little about me I'm a big Eurovision fan but have a love for most music and I'm an avid TTRPG enjoyer too. Primarily though I'm a kinkster with pup play featuring predominantly, but I like to mix in a bit watersports too. Anyway I am just here to spread my passion for being a dog with you all. See you in the darkroom!
Pup Clay
Hide your socks and hide your toes – Pup Clay is on the loose!
Woof woof! I’m Pup Clay – you’re effervescent, friendly, and feet-inclined blue and yellow rubber pup! I hail from Boorloo/Perth from the great state of Western Australia and I love a good bear hug, nuzzle and scratch under the chin! :3
When I’m not at your feet begging to take your socks off, you’ll find me pupping out at WAPAH, West Oz Leather and Bears Perth events dancing around with a strong case of the zoomies (very dog person coded, I know!).
Billie
Billie is a boisterous trans pup with a big heart and a huge hol… love for the community. Hugely kink positive with strong roots in the AB/DL/BabyFur community. QLD pup 2024. Always the life of the party and happily the butt of the joke, Billie is caged, plugged, padded and ready to put her wildest paw forward and have the best APHC yet!
TJ Knottly
TJ has been part of the WA-PAH community for seven years. Usually on the quieter side, he’s always happy to stop for a chat, share a hug, or sneak in a boop when you least expect it (you’ve been warned). TJ is a kind, caring and supportive pup who does his best to be there for others and give back to the community he loves. He enjoys connecting with people, hitting the dance floor for some dancies, making others smile, and, of course, doing his best to be a very good boy.
