Effective January 1, 2011 - Non-Member Participation Fee
(This only applies to dogs wholly owned by non-members and is not applicable to CKC members or dogs coowned with a CKC member, nor does it affect US exhibitors who must apply for an ERN number as noted
above).
A non-member resident in Canada is subject to the fee. Dogs co-owned with a CKC member are exempt. There
are 2 options for non-members: a) Join the CKC or b) Pay the Non-Member Participation Fee
The fee is a yearly charge based on the calendar year January 1st to December 31st in which the awards, legs,
points, titles, etc. were achieved. It is not based on the number of dogs or titles or awards earned, and it is
assessed against the owner(s).
Non-members will receive a letter from CKC Head Office informing them that they have 30 days to join the Club
or pay the Non-Member Participation Fee. Dogs co-owned by two or more individuals W the first person listed
in the CKC dog records will be considered the caregiver of the dog and all communication will be sent to this
person.
Payment of the Non-Member Participation Fee or becoming a CKC member will protect all awards, points, titles
and legs in the calendar year in which they were earned. Failure to pay the fee within 30 days of the notice will
result in all awards, legs, points, titles being cancelled. Once cancelled the awards, legs, points or titles will be
given to the next applicable dog. Once cancellation takes place any subsequent awards titles, legs, etc. earned
will automatically be cancelled without further notice.
The Non-Member Participation Fee is applicable starting at the first event in which the dog earns awards,
points, titles, legs and is not pro-rated.
*Please note that the CKC Membership application and the Non-Member Participation Fee forms are
available on the website under CKC Services and then Forms On-Line. If submitting a Membership
Application, please ensure that you also complete the Non-Member Participation Fee form so that CKC is
aware of the dogs involved.
