Volunteers are the heart of the CKC.
We are pleased to share the committee appointments from the March 16, 2024, board meeting, detailed election results, and the future of the Dogue de Bordeaux.
Thanks to the efforts of Dogue de Bordeaux breeders and fanciers to engage and encourage Members to vote. 31% of CKC Members voted with 95% in favour of the Dogue de Bordeaux moving forward to full recognition.
As we begin a new three-year term with our Board of Directors, we want to take a moment to thank all of the members who volunteered their time over the past 3-year term. Whether it’s the hard-working club members putting on shows and events, dedicated and passionate breeders volunteering at Meet the Breeds, members volunteering their time for Committees and Councils, as Zone Directors, or any of the other myriad ways that members support the CKC, and the world of dogs.
We are very excited to be working with the incoming Board of Directors over the next three years. Thank you to every member who took the time to cast their vote and have their opinion heard!
The Board of Directors is a crucial part of the CKC, ensuring all members are heard, supporting shows and events, and championing purebred dogs. Thank you to everyone who put forth their name for Zone Director in the November election.
