Each dog must have its own number. To obtain an ERN, mail or fax a photocopy of the dog s registration certificate with certified cheque, money order, VISA or MasterCard number (expiry date, cardholder s name and signature). Provide your complete address for return of the ERN to you. Cost is $57.60. ERN must be applied for within 30 days of first day of entering a CKC EVENT.

CKC 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.
