ENTRIES CLOSE: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3 RD -- 8:00 pm QUESTIONS REGARDING YOUR ENTRIES??? The successful transmission of a FAX entry is not a guarantee that it has been received by the Show Secretary. Please telephone 780-922-3770 or email: cornelssen@xplornet.ca to verify that your entries have been received ERN NOTICE All dogs that are foreign-born and foreign-owned and who enter Canada for the sole purpose of entering CKC events will no longer require a CKC registration number. The ERN (Event Registration Number) does not register a dog with the CKC for breeding purposes, but rather enables a foreign-owned or foreign-born dog to be awarded titles for the CKC. Each dog must have its own number. To obtain an ERN, mail or FAX a photocopy of the dog s foreign registration certificate with a cheque or VISA/Mastercard. Provide your complete address for return of the ERN to you. The cost is $57.60. Dogs may initially be entered as listed, but the ERN must be obtained within 30 days of obtaining points, awards or scores to avoid cancellation. Forward your request to: The Canadian Kennel Club, 200 Ronson Drive, Ste.400, Etobicoke, ON. M9W 5Z9 Phone (416) 675-5511 or Fax (416) 675-6506. Canadian 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. 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 nonmember participation fee. Failure to comply within 30 days of notification will cause all awards and titles to be cancelled. These fees apply only to dogs wholly owned by non-ckc members and are not applicable to CKC members. FOREIGN EXHIBITORS Please note that fees are due and payable in Canadian dollars. Due to the consistently fluctuating currency rates, discounted cheques will not be accepted and must be payable in Canadian funds. If a cheque is sent in US funds, it must be made out for the full required fees, and no exchange will be refunded to the exhibitor. Please do not mark cheques payable in Canadian funds, or at par. They will not be cleared by the banks. To simplify the process, we urge that you purchase a bank draft or money order payable in Canadian funds.
