What is the difference between a Continental Kennel Club registration application and a certificate of registration?
A registration application is used to apply for registration (or certification) of a dog with the Continental Kennel Club. There are 2 types of registration applications used by CKC: a puppy registration application which is supplied by the breeder and shows transfer of ownership from a breeder to a puppy’s new owner; and a canine registration application which is used to apply for registration of a dog 6 months or older.
A Certificate of Registration is issued after a registration application has been accepted and approved by the Continental Kennel Club. The certificate of registration provides proof of the dog’s breed, lineage and purebred status. Once a certificate of registration has been issued for a dog, breeders are able to request puppy registration applications for litters produced. A certificate of registration also shows proof of ownership, and the certificate can be used to transfer ownership to a new owner. A CKC certificate of registration is also necessary for eligibility to compete in CKC sponsored events.
