Is CKC a good dog registry? i know AKC is the best but how good is CKC?

Answer 1

It depends on which CKC you are talking about...

The Canadian Kennel Club is equivalent to the AKC and is fine.
However, the continental kennel club is a backyard breeder/puppy mill registry...they will register anything from anybody. The breeders that get suspended from AKC go there...CKC is absolutely worthless.
NO reputable breeder registers their dogs with CKC...

Answer 2

CKC is a good registry. They get a lot of flack from people who buy into rumors. Actually, it's funny that all the comments on this forum bashing CKC include false information.

CKC is an open registry which means the parents of the dog didn't have to be registered with CKC to register the dog. They do this because they believe all dogs and owners should have access to the benefits of a kennel club. They are criticized for registering mixed breeds... but aren't ALL breeds mixed?

CKC does not register "anything". They turn down applications all the time if the dog is not of proper breed type. They have been around for 15 years and have provided another option for the dog world. Tons of wonderful breeders register their dogs with CKC.

Answer 3

AKC means American Kennel Club. CKC ...you need to clarify. It can mean Canadian Kennel Club or Continental Kennel Club. the first 2 are legitimate purebred registries. They do not guarantee health, temperament, or show potential however. They only state that your dog was born to 2 purebred "parents." If the woman means Continental, RUN!

Answer 4

The AKC is not the best registry out there. It's unfortunate that so many people think it is. Unscrupulous breeders can take advantage of this naive acceptance by charging sometimes thousands of dollars for an AKC registered dog, while an honest breeder of the same AKC breed will charge a fraction of the price.

The AKC cares only about a dog's conformation: what color it is, how tall it is, how much it weighs, and its general body type as it fits the physical description of the breed. That's all, you guys. Whether a dog has an unstable temperament, or has health problems that can be passed on to its offspring, does not matter to the AKC. An AKC dog may be bred to another of its breed as long as both dogs have parents four generations back that are of the same breed standard. Doesn't matter to them if the parents are siblings. And breeding dogs for looks often does mean inbreeding, which enhances such undesirable characteristics as hip dysplasia, eye diseases, and aggression.

I am fortunate enough to own a dog whose breed registry values the working ability, temperament, and intelligence of the dogs and actively works to enhance these traits. This registry (the American Border Collie Association) will immediately void the registration of any dog and its offspring that attains a Championship in Conformation with the AKC. It will also void the registration of breeders who are found to be puppy millers or who do not breed their dogs to enhance their best qualities.

I am not saying that the AKC is a bad organization. However, because its emphasis is solely on conformation, it has done what so many other well-meaning organizations have done, and carried its mission far beyond its original intent. I would love to see the AKC impose breeding regulations on its recognized breeds, the way the ABCA does. It would engender far more respect if it did so.

Answer 5

CKC - the CANADIAN KENNEL CLUB is excellent.

CKC the CONtinental kennel club is a scam.

There are others that cater to only a few specific breeds but these generally work with registries in the breeds native lands.

UKC is reputable but, sorry showpup, they don't hold the largest benched show by a long way - ever heard of Crufts?

Dog Training is all about getting your canine to behave well, but some people do it for sports and other entertainment purposes. Some of the other reasons people train their dogs are:

It rewarding since you get a sense of accomplishment once a dog can do something new.
It is a good opportunity to bond with the dog - this is important for the dog and for the owner.
You can make money when you train dogs as a business or for sport.
Training the dog is fun and it challenges the owner and the dog.
Different trainers have different techniques for training their canine. However, some techniques are more effective than others. To learn about the best techniques, visit a registered dog trainer, talk to a veterinarian, or do online or offline research.
There are several types of training that you, or a professional, can explore to train dogs and these are:

1) Behavior and obedience training: One training that is universal is behavior and obedience training. This is done on dogs of all ages, but it is better to start when the canine is a puppy because as they say, it is hard to teach old dogs new tricks. Behavior and obedience dog trainingbrings out the best in the dog and it makes understanding each other easier.

2) House training: House training is very important and it should also start when the dog is still a puppy. House training is all about training the dog to have house manners and to respect your space. There are several techniques used for this and they include crate training and pad training for training the dog to 'go' outside.

3) Positive reinforcement: Positive reinforcement is a new type of training approach and it is all about rewarding the dog for good behavior or for learning a new trick. All animals tend to perform better when there is a promise of a reward. Possible rewards are snacks, interaction with other dogs, giving the dog your attention, or giving the dog tug toys - the reward should take into consideration what the dog likes because dogs are different.

4) Negative reinforcement: Negative reinforcement training approach has been used for many years where the dog is punished for failure to learn or to behave properly, but this does not work because it only makes the canine scared and causes it to lose confidence. Negative reinforcement techniques included beatings and electric shocks.

5) Trick training: Trick training is done for fun, by those who want a sports dog, and those involved in other entertainment activities such as the circus. You should choose the dog carefully to avoid frustration because some dogs are easier to train than others.

6) Teething: It is important to train dogs when they are teething because they are under a lot of pain and they usually chew on furniture such as table legs, shoes, and even wallpaper. Possible training techniques for discouraging the chewing are bad-smelling sprays on items that are at risk and giving the dog chew toys.

7) Command training: It is possible to train dogs to follow commands. These commands include 'sit', 'attack', and 'fetch', among others. This requires patience and there are various techniques of dog training that can be used to achieve this such as giving rewards.

Dog training are excellent and very helpful to build you a stronger relationship with your dog. Read more https://tinyurl.im/vPSE2

After I started training my dog, he became very attached to me and loves to stay by side as long as he can. But just going to them won't help. You have to practice what they teach you outside of the class and you need to keep up with it at least every now and then after the class ends otherwise they'll just go back to previous habits. This course is a really good place to go for dog obedience classes. It get's your dog around other people and dogs to socialize while getting the training you need. As for electric collars, I would say to not get one. In my experience, they're only a negative effect on your dog. I mean of course you're going to need to correct your dog, but being positive and encouraging your dog works a lot faster and easier.

Every dog is different, so unless you have a german shepherd or a really smart dog, it might take a while to train her. You might get frustrated with her, but go easy. She's still a puppy and has a lot of energy. A backyard or somewhere to run will help her get rid of a lot of energy that might cause her to misbehave from boredom.

Answer 8

Any dog you buy is as good as its breeder. Registration papers are nice to have, but it really doesn't matter which registry you are dealing with. Continental Kennel Club does have some unique registration options that other registries don't have like picture registrations. But again, the breeder you are dealing with is what makes the dog a good dog and a good representative of its breed.

Answer 9

CKC as in Canadian Kennel Club is a good, and legit registry.

CKC as in Continental Kennel Club, is a bogus, often times used by puppy mills and irresponsible breeders who couldn't otherwise 'register' their dogs. They use it so the can say Well this dog is registered so its worth more, but those papers aren't worth the paper there printed on.

Answer 10

It depends.
There are two CKC registries for dogs.
CKC = Canadian Kennel Club (and many US dogs are registered with them) They are wonderful and the equivalent of AKC for Canada

or --

CKC = Contentential Kennel Club. Which is no good whatesoever for the simple fact that for a signed affidavit with a couple photos and signed by a witness you could get the dog registered. No proof of parentage necessary. They just want your money and many unethical breeders use them so they can advertise 'registered puppies' when, in my opinion, they are not.. not really.

However, AKC is NOT the only reputable registry. There are many great dog registries. UKC is one of my favorites. We are 3rd generation coonhound fanciers and redbones are not yet fully recognized within the AKC so we can get AKC papers but not yet compete in AKC conformation shows to get our championship titles. However, UKC does fully recognize them. This is the same for many, many breeds. People see AKC on TV dog shows so they automatically ASSume that they are the only 'real' registry. Complete bunk. In fact, the border collie folks took AKC to court to fight against having border collies added to AKC's rolls as many serious breeders don't like them.

UKC is the 2nd largest and oldest all breed registry in the united states. They put on a show called Autumn Oaks every year that is the world's largest licensed bench show .. and it's ONLY FOR COONHOUNDS!! (yes, bigger than Westminster or Eukanuba that you see on TV)

PKC is also a good registry. There are many others...
