the fee will be starting I believe on July 1. I know my kennel club show has to charge it for all non-members. so if you live in Canada and are showing a dog, it's worthwhile to join the CKC... that's what they're getting at. More members, more money - either way they are going to get you and if you show 6 weekends of the year (4 show weekends) you will have paid enough for the membership. There will be a new entry form with a place to put your CKC membership number and if you don't have one... it's 3.00/show. Now, how they are going to police it is beyond me.

Hi Cheryl, if you are a member of the CKC and have a CKC membership number you can log in and check the points for each show once they are posted... they usually run about 2 months behind. If you aren't a member, I don't think it's possible. Hope that helps.

I have never paid an extra fee at a show for being a non member...is that new? I know that you have to pay extra for a dog that isn't registered yet ($7-10) but haven't heard of getting a price break with my membership....

as for the points...you can call the CKC or you can check the websitehttp://www.bulldogclubofcentralcanada.com/ it is unofficial standings but is pretty accurate

A membership is about 60$/year and if you're not a member starting in June (or July) when you show a dog in Canada, you have to pay an extra 3.00$/show as a non-member.

isn't the same as having a membership? Thanks Shelley!
