Notice: Breed Standard Updates Effective July 1, 2025


The CKC website now includes a new section for “Breed Standard Updates,” which can be found at the bottom of the CKC Breed Standards webpage. This section will only be used for breed standard changes that have been approved by the Board.

The following breed standards have been updated by the Board effective July 1, 2025:

Group II (Hounds):
  • Borzoi
Group IV (Terrier):
  • American Hairless Terrier

The following breed standards have corrections:

Group III (Working):
  • Bernese Mountain Dog – Section on Neck that was omitted has been added back
  • Doberman Pinscher – DQ overshot more than 4.75 mm (0.1875 in)
  • Leonberger – Tips of ears are level with corners of the mouth
Group V (Toy):
  • Japanese Chin – Subheading for Body added
 

Please note that there is no longer a Breed Standard Amendment Service. Judges and clubs will be required to update their Breed Standard binder by printing updated pages on their own. For printing, breeds can be found within their respective group’s “Individual Breed Standards” folder. Electronic versions can still be downloaded as full groups.

Should you have any questions in this regard, please do not hesitate to contact the Event Planning Department in Shows and Trials.

The Disqualification Booklet will continue to be updated and mailed each year or as required. The next update will be printed and issued in July 2025.
