Non Member Participation Fee
The non-member participation fee applies to all Canadian residents who participate in a CKC event but are not CKC members and a participating non-member can chose to purchase a CKC membership or pay the non-member fee. This only applies to dogs wholly owned by non-members and is not applicable to CKC members or dogs co-owned with a CKC member. In order for the CKC to efficiently manage recording and tracking points, it's important that non-members select one of the two options within 30 days of notification or, unfortunately, CKC will be forced to cancel any awards and titles
Non-Member Participation Fee
24-12-3. Non-member participation fee
a)An annual non-member participation fee for awards and titles will be charged to a Canadian non-member of CKC. The fee will match the ERN fee.
b) In order to protect the awards/titles earned, the non-member will have a choice either to become a CKC member or to pay the non-member participation fee. Failure to comply within 30 days of notification will cause all awards and titles to be cancelled.
c) The Premium List must carry a note stating that “these fees apply only to dogs wholly owned by non-CKC members and are not applicable to CKC members.”
More information about either the Non-Member Participation Fee or becoming a CKC member please go to the CKC website The CKC website also has the necessary Application Forms to register your dogs, event rules and regulations and a fillable entry form that can be saved.

ATTENTION ALL FOREIGN EXHIBITORS
Effective January 1, 1992 all dogs that are foreign born and foreign owned and enter Canada for the sole purpose of entering CKC events will no longer require a CKC registration number but will require an Event Registration Number (ERN). This ERN does not register a dog for breeding purposes as defined in the Animal Pedigree Act, but rather enables a foreign-owned dog to be awarded titles by the Canadian Kennel Club. Each dog must have its own number. To obtain an ERN, mail or fax a photocopy of the dog’s foreign registration certificate with cheque or VISA/MasterCard number (expiry date, cardholder’s name and signature). Provide your complete address for return of the ERN to you. Cost is $56.70. ERN MUST BE APPLIED FOR WITHIN 30 DAYS OF FIRST DAY OF ENTERING A CKC EVENT TO AVOID CANCELLATION OF AWARDS.
CKC FAX number: (418) 675-6506
Current exchange rates favor the US dollar. To take advantage of this, please purchase bank drafts or money orders payable in Canadian funds. We will accept personal cheques, however they must be payable in US funds for the full amount of the entry. Cheques marked "payable in Canadian funds" will not be accepted.
Exhibitors Please Note: It shall be the duty and obligation of the trial-giving club to see that a judge, club official, volunteer, or any participant at an event held under these rules is not subject to any indignities of any kind. The Field Trial Committee Chair shall promptly report to the CKC any infringement of this regulation, and the Discipline Committee shall have the authority to take such action as it deems fit on receipt of a report indicating that this has occurred.
PLEASE NOTE THERE WILL BE A LIMIT OF 75 ENTRIES ACCEPTED FOR THIS EVENT.
