How to Contact the CKC and Access Member Resources Like the Stud Book

Updated

The Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) at ckc.ca provides contact options through its "Get In Touch" section, a FAQ page, and a club help area ("Your Club is Here to Help!"), while the Stud Book is accessed online through your Member Portal account and is free for CKC members. The key condition: Stud Book access requires CKC membership and a Member Portal login — the site does not indicate it is open to non-members.

Contacting the CKC

The ckc.ca homepage and site navigation include a Get In Touch section (with a French counterpart, "Entrer en contact") where the club lists its contact channels. The site also carries a FAQ page and a help section titled "Your Club is Here to Help!" ("Besoin d'aide? Le Club est à votre disposition." in French), which point members and the public toward answers and support.

To reach the right resource:

  1. Check the FAQ first if your question is about registration, breeds, events, or general club services — many common questions are answered there without needing to contact anyone.
  2. Use "Get In Touch" when you need to reach the club directly; this is the site's designated contact entry point.
  3. Use "Your Club is Here to Help!" if you are a member or club affiliate looking for member-oriented support.

The site does not publish a single universal phone number or email in the material reviewed here, so rely on the contact details listed within the Get In Touch section rather than assuming a specific channel.

Accessing the Stud Book Through the Member Portal

The Stud Book is a CKC publication, and the current edition is announced on the site — for example, the 2025 Stud Book is described as "now available online, free for CKC members, through your Member Portal account."

The access path is:

  • Prerequisite: an active CKC membership.
  • Action: sign in to your Member Portal account on ckc.ca.
  • Expected result: the current Stud Book is available to read online at no charge as a member benefit.

If you are not a member, the announcement does not describe a public or paid alternative for the Stud Book, so membership is the stated route.

Member Resources and Other Site Functions

Beyond the Stud Book, ckc.ca is the Canadian source for dog breeds, purebred puppies, dog competitions and events, kennel club show dogs, and dog ownership, training, and registration information. Members and visitors can use the site to:

  • Look up breed information and find purebred puppies.
  • Find dog competitions and show events.
  • Learn about registration, training, and responsible dog ownership.
  • Purchase CKC microchips through the site's microchip page.

Common Snags

  • Can't find the Stud Book: confirm you are signed in to your Member Portal account; the free online edition is tied to member login.
  • Unsure which contact route to use: start with the FAQ, then move to Get In Touch if your question isn't covered.
  • Language: the site operates in English and French, so French-language contact and help pages are available if preferred.
