Failure to comply will result in all awards and titles being cancelled. All Premium Lists will carry a note stating the fees apply only to dogs wholly owned by non-members and not applicable to CKC members. Payment of the Non-Member Participation Fee or becoming a CKC member will protect all awards, points, titles and legs in the calendar year in which they were earned. The Non-Member Participation Fee is applicable starting at the first event in which the dog earns awards, points, titles, legs and is not prorated. Please note that the CKC Membership Application and the Non Member Participation Fee form are available on teh CKC website under CKC Services/Forms On-line. If submitting a Membership Application, please ensure that you also complete the Non Member Participation Fee form so that they are aware of the dogs involved. posted February 25,
