All Someday dogs passed their Junior Hunting Title and the Golden Retriever trial. It’s a very addicting sport. Lol. You’re all ready for hunting this fall. Thank you for allowing me to train these dogs for you. See you again soon.

Upcoming CDC Dog Importation Rule
Now Includes Options for Frequent Travellers to U.S.


We continue to advocate on behalf of our members, to support those who legitimately import and travel with their dogs to the United States, and who will be impacted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) new dog importation rule, effective August 1, 2024.

Most recently, CKC met with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), including the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) and Pets Canada, to discuss the impact of the new CDC rule on CKC members and other groups. We learned that since CDC consultations occurred in 2023, CFIA has been working with U.S. regulators to share the impact of the rule on Canadians. Due to the relationship CKC built with CFIA over the past 2-3 years, CFIA shared specific concerns on CKC’s behalf to the CDC and the impact it would have, highlighting the importance of allowing some movement of dogs less than 6 months of age for legitimate reasons.

Since the CDC announced the new rule, CFIA acknowledged that there has been little time to develop new processes and communicate the changes to the affected parties. The Agency shared that they recognize the resource burden the new certification process will place on the veterinary community, including CFIA veterinarians, and is working with CDC to explore solutions to simply the certification process.

CFIA also shared that they have consulted with CDC and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to address these concerns. Further, they shared that the following changes have been made to reduce the burden on CKC members who frequently travel with their dog(s) to the U.S. for shows, events or veterinary/emergency appointments.
The Certification of Dog Arriving from Dog-Maintained Rabies Variant Virus (DMVV)-free or Low-Risk Country into the United States form has different entry requirements depending on whether and where the dog was vaccinated. This includes:
A single entry into the U.S. for 30 days (after being issued) if it does not contain information about rabies vaccination administered in a dog rabies-free or low-risk country. (Note: CDC states in the Travel Checklist for dogs that have been ONLY in countries that are dog rabies-free or low-risk in the 6 months before entry that rabies vaccination is not required if the dog has been only in dog rabies-free or low-risk countries for 6 months, but is strongly recommended. It may also be required by the U.S. state or territory to which the dog is traveling).
OR
Multiple entries into the U.S. for the duration the rabies vaccination is valid (1 or 3 years) if the rabies vaccination was administered in a dog rabies-free or low-risk country (Note: Canada is considered a DMRVV-free and a low-risk country)
This means that frequent travellers will not have to complete the Certification of Dog Arriving from Dog-Maintained Rabies Variant Virus (DMVV)-free or Low-Risk Country into the United States form again until the rabies vaccination expires.
You may complete the CDC dog import form 2 to 10 days in advance, and you can also submit the form online while in line at the border crossing, if you have internet access.

We are encouraged by the recent changes made by CDC that will benefit CKC members who travel frequently to the U.S. We also remain committed to working with CFIA, the American Kennel Club (AKC) and other stakeholders, to try and obtain special consideration for CKC members who remain unduly impacted by the new rule. We are optimistic about further changes and will provide an update following our next meeting with CFIA mid-June. Additionally, we are still exploring taking some steps with our partners at the AKC.

For more information about the new CDC dog importation requirements, including CDC forms required, please visit the CDC Website.

He is great with the other dogs came from a family with kids. Just busy lifestyle with work and kids and a busy dog did not seem to be a good mix. He likes to play fetch is house broke and neutered. If interested PM me. I am also happy to train him for hunting should anyone be looking for a gun dog.

Understanding CDC’s New Rule for Bringing Dogs into the United States

You can get the info required by going to AKC.org

The new regulations bringing dogs into the USA dogs must be 6 months old and older with required papers work to cross and rabies certificates

This is a huge inconvenience for us as breeders along with families wanting to travel with their pups or anyone running events.

The AKC is the recognized and trusted expert in breed, health and training information for dogs.

06/03/2024

Planned breeding this June. Maya and Benson. Pups should be same colour as parents. Pups would be ready to go around October. For more info PM me.

05/30/2024

Many are now aware or heard of the restrictions that have applied to entering into the USA with your dogs. I received this today from CKC which will give you some updates on what is happening to try and correct this inconvenience for people traveling south with family pets, running in competitive events and breeders with US clients.

Dizzy has found a new family. Congratulations on your new addition Wynne family. Thank you for giving her a new home.

05/14/2024

Dizzy is a year old female. I have started her with gun dog training. She has a great pedigree out of my dog Bow. She is on the smaller side around 55 lbs. Great with other dogs, people and children. She loves to retrieve, and hunt birds. Loves to swim. Sweet temperament just wants to be around people. CKC registered and had all her shots up to date. Love dogs that I raise like this. Easy keeper.

Always nice to include kids in training sessions. Distractions for dog in training is great when working on leave it drills. Even my dog Chanel is getting some training. lol. Rebecca Woodman from Ashcroft is now certified dog trainer for those living that way looking for some help.

05/08/2024

Pecan came to us for some training for leash work and recall. She would bolt when off leash and a problem to get back. Rebecca has done a great job working with her. The owners can now have her off and on leash.

04/26/2024

Dogs have learned leave it drills and had obedience leash work so now time to teach the owners.

A lot of people seem to think leaving a dog with a long coat keeps them warmer in the Winter but have no idea how hard this is on a dog. They matt up which pulls on the skin and hurts. It takes a long time to get the coat scissored and shaved out.

04/01/2024

If you’re looking for a fantastic place to board your dog check out this new kennel facility. Ashley and Jarrod have done an amazing job.

03/28/2024

Yup I’m still at it. Hunting season will be here again before you know it. Getting young gun dogs ready for the fall.

03/24/2024

Dogs have great recall now. So nice to see a group like this all getting along. First time with training they are loose running on my place with ATV. Gets them into shape pretty quick.
