What is the difference between the AKC and the CKC?

I'm talking rules and regulations, not quality of pups... Does the AKC have higher standards? Stricter?
Answers:
First, most important question: By "CKC" do you mean "Canadian Kennel Club" or "Continental Kennel Club"?

The Canadian Kennel Club is the Canadian equivalent of the AKC, and therefore very similar. There are actually some things about the CKC that I prefer to the AKC.

The Continental Kennel Club was started by individuals who were suspended from the AKC, or couldn't adhere to its standards/pass its inspections. The ConKC is generally considered a low-quality, puppy-mill registry -- for profit and willing to register anything with 4 legs.

Yes. AKC has strict standards and regulations, CKC (and UKC) tend to register anything that has 4 legs.

If the breed of dog you want is an AKC recognized breed, you should make sure that the breeder you buy from has registered all the dogs and pups with the AKC.

---

If by CKC you mean Continental Kennel Club, they pretty much have no standards. Having a dog registered with them is meaningless.

American Kennel Club
Canadian Kennel Club

I do not know much about the Canadian Kennel Club. But i do know that the AKC and the United Kennel Club have a lot of differences, and the UKC seems a bit more relaxed.

If by CKC you mean Continental Kennel Club, yes the AKC has higher/stricter standards. The CKC seems to have none but the color of your money.

Yes, the AKC has higher standards. You can tell by comparing the breed standards from the www.akc.org site and the www.ckc.org site. The AKC standard is much longer and more detailed than the CKC standard. It is also more difficult to get a new breed accepted into the AKC, which you can tell by the number of breeds in the AKC versus the CKC.

Oops, yes, and that is the Continental Kennel Club, not the Canadian...I took that for granted. Sorry to those Canadian Kennel Club people out there. (Thanks, Loki_Wolfchild).

I agree with the first poster. Only AKC check the actual quality of the dog and bloodline before registering. Other kennel clubs just want money in exchange for 'registering' your dog- some of them even sell 'titles' that are supposed to be earned through shows! AKC has strict standards for breeds and breeding and is the American authority in the dog world.
