Here are some of the main differences:
CKC & ABKC have pretty much the same rules.
#1.
-CKC recognizes over 444 breeds of purebred dogs.
-Other clubs recognize about 150 breeds at this time.
#2.
-CKC gives FREE puppy applicatin papers, and has NO LITTER
FEES. The fee to register a puppy/dog with CKC is only $10.00
-Other clubs require that you register the litter first for
around $25.00 and up to $2 per puppy, then register each
individual puppy for another $10.00. Some clubs are now also
requiring you to DNA test the father of the litter at a cost
of $40 to you.
#3.
-CKC has no double transfer fee. No matter how many people
handle the dog, only the last person to register the dog has
to pay the $10.00 registration fee.
-Other clubs require a $10.00 fee for each person who handles
the dog, plus the $10.00 registration fee.
#4.
-CKC has a 5 working day turn around (once received) for all
mail - however, you have to consider the Post Office. Papers
are usually received within 15 days from you mailing them in.
-Other clubs have no guaranty - May be much longer in receiving
your paperwork.
#5.
-CKC has no time limit on registering dogs - you can register
a dog at 1wk. or 15 years of age.
- It is our understanding that with other clubs the dog must
be registered with-in one year or it cannot be registered
(with some exceptions, they are now offering a $30 fine after
1 year and $60.00 after two years.)
#6
-CKC is the only Kennel Club that offers a Toll-Free number
for ordering puppy applications.
-Other clubs do not have Toll-Free number to send out
applications. You must first register your dog with them and
then most of their numbers are not Toll-Free.
#7.
-CKC has special kennel rates. Register 10 or more (breeding
stock) dogs and the fee is just $4.00 per dog, with every
future dog being registered at the $4.00 fee.
-Other clubs do not have special kennel rate. All dogs are
registered at the $10.00 rate.
#8.
-CKC offers special optional services:
1. Color Photo registration with photo ID cards.
2. DNA certification is listed on your certificate, photo ID
card, as well as the World Wide Web Identification system.
3. Microchipping Kit - The ID# is listed on your certificate,
photo ID card, as well as the WWW Identification system.
-Other clubs do not offer these options.
#9.
-CKC has a section in our club for developing new breeds. We
will register the offspring from any two purebreed dogs not
as purebreds but as the offspring of the purebreds under our
miscellaneous section. (Hybrid vigor).
-Other clubs do not offer this to their members
