CKC registration for dogs refers to dog registrations administered by Canadian Kennel Club. This particular club is Canada’s primary and trusted dog registration agency and provides certifications to dogs that are classified as pure breeds or pedigrees. If a person owns a purebred dog in Canada, he/she can have his dog registered at the CKC.

Getting a CKC registration gives various benefits to dog owners across Canada as it allows participation in various CKC-sponsored events and shows. A CKC registration in itself is proof that one owns a purebred dog that their pet was able to adhere to the strict regulations and standards that are required for registration. For pet owners who wish to join dog shows and competitions for example, getting a CKC registration for their dogs may be a basic requirement. These shows require such registration to ensure that the competition between different recognized dog breeds is run fairly for everybody. Each recognized dog breed have specific qualities and features and these are the very items that are scrutinized during dog shows and competitions. With a CKC registration, one can simply get that seal of approval in terms of dog breed purity. Aside from the usual dog shows and competitions, CKC registration also enables pet owners to join obedience classes for dogs and other related classes that the club offers. Another benefit of CKC registration is that the dogs will have higher market value. This is especially applicable to owners of puppies who wish to have them sold to other people.

CKC registration is meant for giving some kind of purity seal for dogs in Canada. The registration does not necessarily mean that a particular dog comes from very high quality bloodlines or has perfect health. Classifying and registering the dog as an actual purebred does not in any way mean that this particular dog is healthier or has better genes than those that are not registered with the Canadian Kennel Club.
