About the Club

The Cale­don Ken­nel Asso­ci­a­tion is non-profit, all-breed dog club, located north of Toronto. Since its incep­tion in 1974, the club has been ded­i­cated to pro­mot­ing pure­bred dogs by encour­ag­ing respon­si­ble breed­ing and own­er­ship, and to fos­ter­ing the inter­ests of all dog own­ers of Cale­don through edu­ca­tion and com­mu­nity outreach.

Each Fall, the club hosts obe­di­ence and rally tri­als at Cam­paign Dog Acad­emy in George­town and a three-day dog show held in Novem­ber. The CKA also hosts Cana­dian Good Neigh­bour (CGN) tests. All club events are run by vol­un­teers – from event approvals and plan­ning, right down to phys­i­cally set­ting up rings and sweep­ing up after the dust has settled!

Meet­ings are held on the sec­ond Tues­day of every month from Sep­tem­ber to June. New mem­bers and vol­un­teers are always wel­come. Mem­ber­ship in the Cale­don Ken­nel Asso­ci­a­tion offers dog lovers numer­ous oppor­tu­ni­ties to become involved in the dog fancy.
