Why does Continental Kennel Club allow registering dogs that have limited breeding rights with other registries?
CKC Registration Rules allow for the registration of all purebred dogs. Because CKC is an independent registry which operates by its own registration rules, CKC does not record breeding status information from other registries. And, as with other registry organizations, individual membership status is conferred and maintained by adherence to the specific organization’s registration rules, policies, and procedures. In order to meet its membership needs CKC has established a Preferred Breeders Program that does offer limited registrations privileges to those breeders subscribing to the program. The CKC Preferred Breeder Program is an elite program made up of breeders who subscribe to the highest ethical standards in animal husbandry and canine care. CKC Preferred Breeders are committed to improving their breeds.
