What To Know When Purchasing A CKC Puppy

What To Know When Purchasing a CKC Puppy

• If you are considering purchasing a puppy advertised as CKC registered, the breeder will supply you with the CKC Pre-Printed Puppy Application at the time of sale, in accordance with CKC Rules and Regulations. You will need this to complete the puppy registration process.
• If the Pre-Printed Puppy Application is NOT provided to you at the time of sale, there is no assurance that the puppy you are purchasing is CKC registered. The CKC Pre-printed Puppy Application serves as verification that the litter was registered with CKC and ensures the puppy's eligibility for official registration with Continental Kennel Club Inc.
• At the time of registration, after purchase, you will need to enter the application number and the birthdate of the puppy and make sure that the breeder signed your application. Submit the Pre-printed Puppy Application online or by mail, fax, or email to complete the CKC registration process and certify the puppy as a CKC-registered canine. You must complete the registration process in order to protect your ownership rights of your new puppy. 

Why Register? 

Proof of Ownership

What would happen if your dog was lost or stolen, and you had to provide proof of ownership to get him back? When you register your dog with CKC, you receive an official certificate proving that you are the owner of the dog. Not to mention, having a puppy birth certificate is as cute as it gets.
