Currently a member of the Canadian Kennel Club.
The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) is the primary registry body for purebred dogs in Canada and currently recognizes 175 breeds. As a non-profit organization, the CKC is dedicated to encouraging, guiding, and advancing the interests of purebred dogs and their responsible owners and breeders in Canada and promoting the knowledge and understanding of the benefits which dogs can bring to Canadian society.
The CKC is incorporated under Animal Pedigree Act, a federal statute under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture. The organization includes approximately 25,000 individual members and over 700 breed clubs across Canada. The Club registers purebred dogs, regulates dog shows and performance events, and speaks out on major issues concerning dog ownership and the health & welfare of dogs across Canada.
The CKC also governs Dogs in Canada Magazine and Dogs Annual published by CKC subsidiary Apex Publishing Limited. Dogs in Canada Magazine is issued 12 times a year, while the award-winning Dogs Annual comes out each November. The Annual is eagerly anticipated by those who breed dogs and compete with their dogs, as well as the many thousands of Canadians who simply 'love' dogs and want to know more about them.
