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.
