Pup Panther (or Tom) is the current and first ever Australian Puppy. He currently lives in Brisbane where he also won the Queensland Leather Puppy title in 2017. Panther got his start in pup play after being pushed over the edge by a kinky friend from Seattle. From there he dove head first in to the local fetish club BootCo. He has also been an active member with Queensland Pups & Handlers (Q-PAH) helping further the organisation in Queensland through volunteering and contributing to committee goals.

Panther has travelled regularly to all active PAH organisations and is a well-known member of each community. He has also extensively travelled to other fetish weekends and helped promote the pup and handler community to the wider public. Panther is a strong advocate for gender diversity and is passionate about providing safe environments for all pups regardless of location. By creating these environments, he believes it fosters positive growth within the pup and handler community. He believes pup play is the gateway to a large array of kinks and tries to instil key values of respect, consent and open communication in his workshops.

On the mats, you can find Panther quietly off to the side waiting to find the perfect puppy to pounce on. When he is in human mode he regularly engages with new members about the basics of pups and handlers and the general rules associated with play ensuring a safe space is created and can be enjoyed by all.
