Is it true that if you want to register an American dog to show in Canada, that the CKC does not recognize our microchips? If so, what is the microchip that would be recognized in both countries?

The CKC does recognize many microchips. I've included a web address that will take you to the list - on the second page is the listing. It includes the manufacturers codes (the first 3 digits in the microchip#) that are ok for CKC registration.

Thank you!

It looks like my Home Again chips are not on the list. Does that mean in order to show in Canada, I have to put a second chip into my dogs?

no

Are you strictly looking to compete in Canada? If you are just looking to compete and not breed then the dog's microchip is insignificant. If you are looking to dual register for purposes of breeding then yes the dog would need a second microchip.

You only need an ERN# to compete.

No, if you want to register a dog with the CKC, that dog has to be permanently ID'd with either a CKC registered tattoo combination, or a microchip that is recognised/approved by the CKC - a microchip that is universally readable/scanable.

Using your AKC reg'd male on a CKC reg'd bitch has nothing to do with it; if the progeny are to be registered with the CKC they must be permanently ID'd.

Thank you!
