This only applies to dogs wholly owned by non members and is not applicable to CKC members or dogs co-owned with a CKC member. In order for the CKC to efficiently manage recording and tracking points, it's important that non-members select one of the two options within 30 days of notification or, unfortunately, we will be forced to cancel any awards and titles club CANADIAN KENNEL CLUB Non-Member Participation Fee (Effective January 1, 2011) Policy: Non-member participation fee α An annual fee for awards and titles will be charged to a Canadian nonmember of CKC.

The fee is a yearly charge based on the calendar year January 01 to December 31 in which the awards, legs, points, titles, etc. were achieved. It is not based on the number of dogs, titles, or awards earned and 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.
