What does Continental Kennel Club do about unethical breeders?
As stated in the CKC rules and regulations, “CKC reserves the right to refuse registration to any person or to revoke or suspend the club member privileges of any member who acts in a manner that CKC deems unethical, fraudulent, or dishonest.” CKC takes all complaints received about a CKC member seriously and will begin an investigation immediately. If necessary, CKC will make on-site inspections, collect sample DNA swabs, and collect documentation from professionals such as veterinarians, groomers, or breeders. Education is crucial in raising the standards set for breeders, and CKC provides information through many avenues about buying puppies and quality breeding practices. CKC also has great programs such as the Preferred Breeders Program that promote high breeding standards and education to the public about where to go for quality dogs.
