CKC What Between & AKC Registered Dogs?

CKC stands for Canadian Kennel Club. It is a non-profit organization that maintains the stud book for purebred dogs in Canada. The CKC was founded in 1888 and is the largest kennel club in Canada, with over 200,000 members.

The CKC's mission is to "promote the interests of purebred dogs and their breeders, and to ensure that purebred dogs are bred and kept in a responsible and ethical manner." The CKC does this by providing a variety of services, including:

* Registering purebred dogs: The CKC maintains a registry of purebred dogs, which is used to track the lineage of dogs and to ensure that they are purebred.

* Issuing pedigrees: The CKC issues pedigrees for purebred dogs, which are certificates that show the dog's lineage.

* Holding dog shows: The CKC holds dog shows throughout Canada, where purebred dogs are judged on their appearance and conformation.

* Educating the public about purebred dogs: The CKC provides a variety of educational resources about purebred dogs, including books, articles, and websites.

The CKC is a member of the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), which is the world's largest international kennel club organization.
