Frequently Asked Questions
How do I become a member or breeder with CKC?
CKC grants membership upon the successful registration of your first canine. You will receive a member number associated with you and your contact information. Each registered dog receives a unique CKC registration number. We do not require additional “breeder registration.” You will be listed as the breeder of any litter produced by a female dog you own.
How long does it take to process my application to register my dog?
Most applications are processed within 5 business days from the date they are received. PAW Evaluation Applications can take up to 30 business days to process.
My dog belongs to another organization. Can I register him with CKC, too?
Yes, depending on the registry. We offer dual registration from a list of CKC-recognized registries. See if your dog belongs to one of these approved registries to get started with the process. For a full list of requirements, please review the information on our Dog Registration page.
I bought a CKC dog that's already registered. How do I put him in my name?
The back of the original registration certificate is a transfer form to be used for this request. Ensure that both the previous owner and the new owner sign and complete the form in its entirety. The original registration certificate must be mailed back to our office at P.O. Box 1628, Walker, LA 70785.
