Event Registration Number (ERN)

All dogs that are foreign born and foreign owned and enter Canada for the sole purpose of entering CKC events, and do not have a CKC registration number, will require an Event Registration Number (ERN). The ERN number MUST be applied for within 30 days of the first day of entering a CKC event.

Temporary Competition Number (TCN)

A Temporary Competition Number (TCN) allows dogs to temporarily participate in CKC events while they pursue permanent registration or an Event Registration Number (ERN). A TCN must be obtained before submitting an entry for an event. The same TCN must be used for all event entries for a dog until the dog is permanently registered or has an ERN. TCNs can be obtained through your CKC member portal or by contacting the CKC.

Note: There is no CKC fee to obtain a TCN. However, a TCN ‘listing’ fee is required each time a dog with only a TCN is entered in an event.

Non-Member Participation Fee

Effective January 1, 2011:

a) A non-member participation fee will be charged to a resident of Canada who is a non-member of the CKC. The fee will be $170.00 plus applicable taxes.

b) The non-member participation fee is paid in any year a title is earned and covers all titles and dogs owned by that individual.

c) In order for the title to be awarded, the non-member will have a choice to either become a CKC member or pay the non-member participation fee. Failure to comply within 30 days of notification will result in the title being withheld and the dog cannot be moved up to the next level.

d) The fee applies only to dogs wholly owned by non-member residents of Canada and is not applicable to CKC members.

CKC Membership
