Can I enter my mixed breed dog in an Obedience trial?
Yes, mixed-breed dogs may compete in Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) Agility, Obedience and Rally Obedience Trials alongside purebred dog. Mixed breed dogs receive the same titles.
In order for a mixed breed dog to enter a trial, the owner must apply for and receive a Canine Companion Number for their dog. More information is available on the CKC website. Please note that not all CKC trials allow mixed breed dogs to compete so be sure to check the premium list.
In order to actually receive a title certificate from CKC, the owner must either choose to become a CKC member or pay the annual non-member participation fee. Since the membership fee and the non-member participation fee are the same, you might as well become a CKC member. For more information, please contact CKC’s Member Services team Department at 416-674-3699 or 1-855-DOGS CKC (1-855-364-7252) or email information@ckc.ca.
