ATTENTION ALL FOREIGN EXHIBITORS - ERN NUMBERS Effective Jan. 1992, all dogs that are foreign born and foreign owned and enter Canada for the sole purpose of entering CKC events no longer require a CKC registration number but will require an event registration number (ERN). This ERN number does not register a dog with the CKC for breeding purposes as defined in the Animal Pedigree Act, but rather enables a foreign owned dog to be awarded titles by the CKC. Each dog must have its own number. To obtain an ERN number, mail or fax a photocopy of the dog s foreign registration certificate with a cheque or VISA/Mastercard number, (expiry date, cardholders name and signature). Provide your complete address for return of ERN number. The fee is $59.40 + 13% HST. ERN number must be applied for within 30 DAYS of the FIRST day of entering a CKC event.
