The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) is the national registry for purebred dogs in Canada. Established in 1888, it maintains a comprehensive registry of recognized purebred breeds and is the leading authority on canine standards and responsible dog ownership in Canada. The CKC supports breeders, pet owners, and dog enthusiasts through education, regulation, and breed preservation.
The CKC upholds strict breed standards to ensure the physical and temperamental qualities of each recognized breed are preserved. These standards guide ethical breeding practices and help maintain the health, structure, and personality traits that make each breed unique. As CKC-registered breeders, we follow these guidelines to ensure our Bernese Mountain Dogs represent the best of their breed.
When you purchase a CKC-registered puppy, you receive official documentation verifying your puppy’s lineage. This includes a pedigree that traces the ancestry of your dog, ensuring it is a true purebred. Registration also provides you with a CKC-issued certificate in your name, confirming your puppy’s status within the national registry.
The CKC promotes responsible breeding by encouraging health testing, ethical practices, and lifelong commitments to each dog produced. CKC breeders are expected to meet high standards when it comes to care, socialization, and transparency. This aligns with our own values, as we conduct thorough health testing (OFA, PennHIP, Embark, and Gensol) and raise our dogs in a loving home environment.
In addition to registry services, the CKC organizes dog shows, performance events, and obedience trials across Canada. It also offers resources for breeders and dog owners, from puppy training tips to health recommendations. By supporting CKC breeders, you’re also connecting to a larger community that values the well-being and future of purebred dogs in Canada.
