15. CKC BREEDER REPORTS

CKC reports are available for download in electronic format to your computer. If all dog details are not available, you will receive a partial Research Pedigree Report.

A CKC Online Research Pedigree provides a detailed list of the selected dog’s lineage, covering up to five generations. The report includes the dog’s registration number, name, coat color, Stud Book Date, and OFA or EYE numbers where applicable.

A progeny report shows all offspring of the chosen sire or dam that have earned a CKC title, such as Champion (Ch) or Companion Dog (CD). This report does not include offspring that haven’t earned a CKC sanctioned title. For a list of titles, click here. If you opt to include the sire(s)/dam(s), the report will list both parents. Please note that we do not offer reports for dogs that haven’t earned a title.

Details about dogs born before 1980, as well as awards/results for events prior to 1986, may not be accessible through our online database. Reports covering records before this period might contain partial or missing information. However, data on all CKC-registered dogs and CKC-licensed and member events are maintained in our permanent archives. There are currently no reports available online or elsewhere containing this information.

16. CKC COMPETITOR REPORTS

All CKC Competitor Reports are available online only and will not be mailed, emailed, or sent via any other method. To keep a permanent copy, please save the report to your computer. We do not provide refunds for printing issues.

CKC® Points and Awards Reports
If the dog has event history before 1986, it is likely unavailable online. Since the fee is for research purposes, if you order an Awards Record for a dog with competition results prior to 1986, it may not be included, but you will still be charged for the report research.

This report lists only the events where your dog earned a title-qualifying score, such as points or qualifying scores.

CKC® Dogs Defeated Report
To qualify for the dogs defeated points, a dog must win Best of Breed/Variety or higher at a CKC-licensed or member event (All-Breed, Limited-Breed, or Specialty) within the requested year.

These reports show the number of dogs defeated based on the following criteria:

  • Breed: Only dogs defeated in breed/variety competition.
  • Group: Only dogs defeated in Group competition.
  • Overall: All dogs defeated at any level of competition: Breed, Group, and BIS.

The totals come from dogs defeated in all CKC-licensed All-Breed and Specialty dog shows during the selected time period, based on the highest qualifying award achieved at the show. (For All-Breed shows, qualifying awards include Best in Show, Group First through Fourth, and Best of Breed or Variety, if the breed has varieties.)

CKC® TopDogsSM Conformation Report
The CKC Top Dogs report ranks the top dogs in Conformation events. You can select to view the top 25, 50, or 100 dogs, based on the number of dogs defeated. You can choose to focus on top dogs at the breed, group, or all-breed level.

These reports rank dogs based on the following criteria:

  • Breed/Variety: Number of dogs defeated in breed competition only.
  • Breed/Variety (all levels): Number of dogs defeated in all levels of conformation competition.
  • Group: Number of dogs defeated in group competition.
  • All-breed: Number of dogs defeated in all levels of competition.

The data is based on dogs defeated in all CKC-licensed All-Breed and Specialty dog shows held during the selected period, with the highest qualifying awards earned at the show.

Please note that CKC Top Dog Reports, when using All-Breed totals, include dogs defeated at the breed level, even if the dog didn’t place in the group.

The reports “By Breed using All-Breed Totals,” “By Group using All-Breed Totals,” and “In All-Breed Competition” will list each dog’s name along with the number of dogs defeated at each level, using the following guidelines:

  • The Best in Show winner receives credit for defeating all dogs in the conformation event, excluding itself.
  • The Group First winner is credited with defeating all dogs in the group, excluding itself.
  • The Group Second winner is credited with defeating the number of dogs defeated by the Group First winner, minus the dogs competing in the breed of the Group First winner.
  • The Group Third winner is credited similarly, excluding dogs from the breed of the Group Second winner.
  • The Group Fourth winner is credited in the same way.

The Best of Breed or Variety winner receives credit for defeating all dogs in the breed or variety, excluding itself.

In the “By Breed using Breed Totals” report, only dogs defeated at the breed level are counted.

Your selection of 25, 50, or 100 is a maximum, not a guarantee. If only 14 dogs from a certain breed are competing, for example, only 14 dogs will appear in the report for that breed and event. We cannot offer refunds for reports that do not meet the maximum criteria, as long as the data is accurate.

CKC® TopDogsSM Agility Invitational Report
The CKC Agility Invitational report lists the top dogs ranked in Agility events, based on the Top MACH Dog formula (Double Q’s x 10) + MACH (Master Agility Championship) points earned during the qualifying period.

Dogs must compete and qualify in Regular Master Standard & Jumpers With Weaves classes to be eligible. The top five (5) dogs from each breed will be included in these reports.

If there are fewer than five (5) dogs ranked in Regular Master classes, dogs will be ranked based on the Preferred Master Standard & Jumpers With Weaves classes using the Top PACH Dog formula (Double Q’s x 10) + PACH (Preferred Agility Championship) points earned during the qualifying period.

We cannot guarantee that the report will contain 25 dogs. For example, if only 10 dogs from a certain breed meet the criteria for the CKC Agility Invitational, only 10 dogs will appear in the report.

17. BREEDER TOOLKIT

By using the AKC Breeder Toolkit service, you acknowledge and agree that all information entered into the system will be stored on AKC servers or third-party servers. You also understand and agree that the AKC will have access to this information and may use it for purposes including, but not limited to, ensuring compliance with AKC’s Rules, Regulations, and policies, as well as contacting individuals to whom a dog or puppy has been transferred.

In accordance with AKC’s record-keeping policies, records may be stored in paper or electronic form. Electronic records must be maintained in a standard industry format, such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Adobe PDF, or Open Document Format, and should be easily accessible and printable upon AKC’s request. Additionally, electronic records must be consistently backed up and stored securely in a separate location, such as a cloud-based service, external hard drive, or other secure methods. The AKC Breeder Toolkit service complies with these requirements.

When using the Breeder Toolkit for registered co-owned dogs and litters, you acknowledge and agree that all registered co-owners will have access to these records. Each co-owner will have the authority to input and modify the information, and both the registered sire and dam owners will be able to access the mating records for the particular pairing, with permission to edit and update details.

29. CKC DNA PROGRAM

CKC DNA testing does not determine the breed of dog or if a dog is purebred. CKC has built the world’s largest database of canine DNA profiles for parentage verification and genetic identity purposes. If unknown parentage is indicated via DNA testing, the status of the registration will be downgraded to “conditional” under a three-generation pedigree is established. DNA Profile Program is a voluntary program for owners and breeders electing to add value to their breeding programs by eliminating concerns or questions about identification and parentage. Dog owners can contact CKC for a DNA Test Kit (including a swab that owners use to collect loose cells from inside the dog’s cheek). For each dog sampled, a CKC DNA Profile is created containing the dog’s registration information, genotype, and a unique DNA Profile number is issued.

CKC DNA Profiling is required for Frequently Used Sires, imported breeding stock, dogs whose semen is collected for fresh-extended or frozen use, and sires, dams, and puppies of Multiple-Sire Litter Registration.

To meet any CKC Registration requirement, all DNA testing must be performed through the CKC DNA Program.

37. GOVERNING LAW.
You agree that: (i) CKC is deemed to be based solely in the State of New York; and (ii) the Service is passive and does not establish personal jurisdiction over CKC in any other jurisdiction. These Terms will be governed by the substantive laws of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles. You and CKC agree that any claims that are not subject to arbitration or cannot be resolved in small claims court will be adjudicated in the state or federal courts in New York, and New York, New York is the proper and exclusive forum for such matters.

38. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT REQUIRES YOU AND CKC TO ARBITRATE ANY DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE WAY YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF. This section (the “Arbitration Agreement”) governs any dispute, controversy, or claim between you and CKC arising from or relating to: (a) these Terms, including any questions about their existence, validity, or enforcement; (b) your use of our Service, including any communications or advertising you receive; (c) transactions made through the Service; or (d) any other aspect of your relationship with CKC as a consumer (collectively, “Claims”). This Arbitration Agreement applies to any Claims, whether they arose before or after your acceptance of these Terms. However, before initiating arbitration, you must first follow CKC’s bylaws, rules, and procedures as set out in the CKC Charter and other published policies.

For any Claims, you agree to contact us at claims@ckc.world and attempt to resolve the matter informally. If CKC does not resolve the issue within 60 days, both parties agree to resolve the Claim through binding arbitration by AAA under the applicable rules (the “Rules”), except as otherwise specified. If there is a conflict between the Rules and this Arbitration Agreement, the latter will take precedence. The arbitration will be conducted in your county or California unless otherwise agreed. If you’re using the Service for commercial purposes, each party will bear the costs of arbitration as outlined in AAA rules. For non-commercial use, AAA may require you to pay a fee for starting the case unless you apply for and qualify for a fee waiver. Arbitration costs, attorney fees, and expert witness fees may be included in the arbitrator’s award. You may still file in small claims court if applicable, but this doesn’t exempt you from the informal dispute resolution process. Any arbitration award can be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any disputes over the interpretation or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.

This section does not prevent CKC from seeking injunctive relief from a court for any violation or infringement of proprietary rights or data security. Additionally, you can still pursue claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.

If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is found unenforceable, the remainder will still apply. If the Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver is unenforceable, any claims for public injunctive relief must be resolved in a civil court, while all other claims will proceed to arbitration.

CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER.
ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT INDIVIDUALLY, AND NOT AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED, THE ARBITRATOR CANNOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS FROM MORE THAN ONE PERSON. RELIEF MAY ONLY BE AWARDED TO THE INDIVIDUAL CLAIMANT AND IS LIMITED TO THAT CLAIMANT’S CLAIMS. YOU AND CKC WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.
