YT 2000 Club Donating Member | The canadian kennel club - urgent Good morning fellow exhibitors and purebred dog enthusiasts. It is with a heavy heart, and after much deliberation that I have decided to post this information on this site. As a member of the Canadian Kennel Club - the registry in Canada where we register our dogs, and under whose auspices shows and trials,and legal defense of the purebred dogs is supported and lobbied for at various levels of government; I have received an urgent email asking for donations to help sustain them in their urgent time of financial crisis. I urge all of you that cross register your dogs, or want to champion your dogs, compete in Canada, to give this appeal serious thought. Shortly their website will have a link up that can inform you more, and show how you can contribute in a meaningful way. Immediately you can contact the CKC at In the meantime, you may phone our Financial Department at 416 675 5511 if you wish to use a credit card.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Okay no comments - let me elaborate this Club is akin to the USA AKC . HOw I wonder would you respond to the serious problems of the AKC wherein they would no longer be a presence in the dog world of the USA?

| Gail, I think you should post this again in the general discussion area to make sure more people see it -- since this concerns pet owners as well competition dogs. |

| Would it be better to say why it's urgent? The website doesn't give the information to non members. Due to the obvious, funds are shortened everywhere. Seeing that YT is allowing the post why not elaborate? With people being natural skeptics, a letter from the registry may give more detailed info and a reason to help. |

Then here it is: the email sent to members: Dear CKC Member, At the March Board Meeting in Winnipeg, with reports from the Audit Committee and the CEO, it became apparent that the Canadian Kennel Club is in the midst of a financial crisis. Dropping registration numbers, a slight decline in entries and falling membership, all products of a worldwide recession in many industries, have combined in the last quarter of 2009 to leave the CKC in a deficit position that is unable to be managed with our existing cash flow. Traditionally the first quarter of any calendar year is one of low revenue streams - the show season is only beginning, breeders register fewer litters at this time and expenses are static. Normally, we are able to weather this period within existing resources and saved earnings. This year is an exception. The deficit was so large ($451,475 for CKC and $150,024 for APEX) that our reserves have not been able to support our financial position. During the 2009 year, understanding that revenues were soft, projects and programs were cut, expenses reduced and new contracts signed to further reduce our obligations. These measures assisted in averting a 2009 financial crisis. At the December Board meeting, the Audit Committee has financial information to the end of September. At that time our Chair of Audit advised that there was certainty in a deficit position at year end. With advice from the CEO, she advised that the last quarter is generally one of our strongest and that this deficit should be within the capability of the organization to handle. We now know that this year was not predictable, that revenues continued to drop and that our deficit has created an issue of crisis proportions. Appeals are now being made to you, our membership, and to CKC Clubs to assist the CKC with donations, as they are able. This one time cash infusion will be applied to the deficit and will shore up the organization over the next two months. During that period, the Board of Directors is working with members and staff to analyze expenditures, cut services as necessary and reduce obligations to effect positive change. This is a difficult time for the CKC. We ask you, as a member, to work with the Board to move forward. We need your help and we need your support. There will come a time to analyze the history of this issue and to deal with the lessons we have and are continuing to learn. That will happen once the crisis is averted. Until that time we must work together as The Dog Fancy in Canada. We very much look forward to your support. Lee Steeves
