Re: Canadian microchip

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!

Re: Canadian microchip

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?

Re: Canadian microchip

no

no


Can you explain why they have a list of accepted chips? If not for showing then for what? I just want to be prepared. Hard to get answered from the CKC.

Re: Canadian microchip

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.

Oh, OK. So if a Canadian breeder wanted to us my AKC registered stud dog, I would then have to re-chip?

Re: Canadian microchip

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.
