REGISTRATIONS


To register a dog born in Canada, the litter must be registered by the breeder first. It is then the responsibility of the breeder to provide registration papers at no additional cost to the buyer within six months from date of sale. Once the litter has been registered, the breeder will automatically receive applications from the CKC to individually register the puppies. The application must be completed and submitted to the CKC by the breeder, along with the required fees.

EVALUATION PROCESS

All hip joints that are considered to be normal are classified as normal, without further sub-grading. Dysplastic dogs all graded from I to IV, with Grade I being the least severe and Grade IV being the most severe. The report on dysplastic dogs will also comment on the presence or absence of secondary changes as a consequence of the dysplasia.

The table below provides an approximate comparison of the Ontario Veterinary College grading system with other grading systems that are used internationally. It is important to recognize that the comparison between the various grading system is approximate and then may be some variation with individual dogs.
