Who Can Participate ?
CDA was previously known as the Australian Canine Disc Association (ACDA), which was formed and founded by Damian & Karen Noud in 2003 along with Australia’s first ever Canine Disc Club, Brisbane & Regions K9 Disc Club otherwise known as BARK.
The sport has grown steadily over the years, 2008 seen the second ever Canine Disc Club affiliated with the Gympie Canine Disc Dog Club (GCDDC) coming on board. By the end of 2012 there was Seven QLD clubs affiliated with ACDA. The transition from ACDA to CDA started in 2009. 2012 was a big year with the changeover and election of the first ever CDA board of Directors
