Code of Ethics Reminder to All CKC Event Exhibitors and Participants
Fostering a positive environment at CKC events relies on good sportsmanship amongst all exhibitors and participants. Due to several recent instances of inappropriate communication by exhibitors toward CKC judges, we are reminding exhibitors to abide by the CKC Code of Ethics before, during and after events take place.
CKC stands behind and supports our judges as respected professionals in the sport. CKC Judges are licensed through a rigorous examination process that includes the study of anatomy, breed standards, and ring procedures among others. They must also participate in a continuous education program to maintain their CKC license. Bullying or harassing behaviour towards judges or others will not be tolerated and are subject to disciplinary action.
We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in fostering a positive and thriving environment and community at events and beyond.
