NEW TRACKING FEE FOR CANADIAN NON-MEMBERS Effective January 1, 2011, the CKC instituted a tracking fee for all Canadian residents who participate in CKC events, but are not CKC members.

This only applies to dogs wholly owned by nonmembers and is not applicable to CKC members or dogs co-owned with a CKC member.
