    The difference between the two is that AKC cares about your dogs where ckc= Continental Kennel Club will register anything with four legs. They don't have the welfare of your dogs like AKC would..A lot of breeders have switch to CKC because they aren't as strike and cheaper than AKC. CKC don't care if you breed your dogs back to back, what you breed them to .As long as you send them money. Beware of buying any thing that has CKC papers.

    A CKC dog is registered with the Canadian Kennel Club. An AKC dog is registered with the American Kennel Club. A CKC dog is just as good as an AKC dog, it is just registered in a different country. The quality of the dog comes from its breeder not the club that registered it. You might consider that if you have a CKC registered dog and want to show in the US that you will have to get them AKC registered.

    CKC is the continental kennel club or the Canadian Kennel Club.

    If someone is selling CKC (meaning Continental Kennel Club) dogs in the US, and it's a breed that is recognized by the AKC, run away as fast as you can. Typically, these dogs are lower quality and it's a registration so that a breeder can say their dog is 'papered'.

    CKC is fine if it's a Canadian dog and it's Canadian Kennel Club.

    Continental Kennel Club

    Be careful with this. A dog that can't get his AKC championship easily or not at all has a MUCH better chance of finishing his championship in the CKC. Puppy mill puppies are quite oftened registered with CKC. I'd advise steering clear of such a pup as he would probably be ill bred.

    I believe CKC is Continental Kennel Club and it is the one used by puppy mill and back yard breeders. It has no prestige any where and is considered a worthless piece of paper.

    Opps! I got he name wrong it is Continental,sorry!

    The above answerer is wrong. The Canadian Kennel Club is a very good Kennel club and is accepted into the AKC world. This is where is does get confusing and the kennel clubs (AKC< CKC>UKC)are working to get this corrected.

    CKC - Canadian Kennel Club - and I don't think there is a big difference between the two organizations, both work to promote and protect ethical breed standards and to give breeders a main body to go to for guidelines and help.

    It depends on which CKC you are referring to.

    There is the Canadian Kennel Club, which is similar to the AKC but is the major kennel club for Canada.

    There is also the Continental Kennel Club. This club was developed as an alternative to the AKC.

    If you buy a dog that is registered with the Canadian Kennel Club, you can register the dog with the AKC (if it is a recognized breed). You CANNOT register a Continental Kennel Club registered dog with the AKC.

    easily... in case you have the tummy for it flow to a puppy shop that sells doggies and ask to be sure the papers. I assure that those ill bred/flow bred/abused and neglected doggies even have AKC, Con.KC, and CKC papers. Protest on your way out in case you're at it. :) merely because of the fact a dogs has papers does not propose the dogs is of sturdy breeding. additionally, once you're procuring a organic breed of sturdy high quality you're procuring the expenses of accountable breeding and wellbeing preserve the mum, dad, and doggies... no longer papers. It truthfully does not value over one hundred funds to sign up a dogs, and meaning that there is merely $3 hundred-4 hundred that went into the care of the dogs by making use of this woman's pricing. inspite of maximum accountable breeders taking a fulfillment that quantity nonetheless leaves plenty to be needed on care. you apart from might ought to ask why. there is not any scarcity of persons who choose an AKC GSD or Pom for $550. that truly very cheep and too a lot of human beings do no longer understand or do no longer care relating to the common. If there is not any scarcity of persons searching for the puppy then why grant the "decrease fee" papers? sounds like somebody working a company off breeding as a replace of a dogs lover increasing the integrity of the breed itself. i might shop looking. upload: Be careful of people who ought to sell on a information superhighway website to sell doggies. Many breeders of top quality have reputations interior the coach community and characteristic waiting lists.
