Why a CKC Foundation?
Photo by Holli Murphy
The Canadian Kennel Club Foundation (CKCF) was originally formed in response to an overwhelming wish among the Canadian purebred dog community to protect, support and celebrate the furry friends we love so much. Since then, dog show participants (including breeders, exhibitors, judges and kennel clubs) have raised tens of thousands of dollars in support of the CKCF's mission. Our raison d'être is continuously expanding as we bring together all shapes, sizes and mixes of dogs and their people!
The CKCF's Vision is that:
Canadian dogs will live the longest and healthiest lives possible while enjoying an optimal relationship with humans.
The CKCF's Mission is to:
Improve the canine-human relationship and the health of Canadian dogs by empowering communities to educate their members on responsible dog ownership and enabling canine health research.

How We Do it

Health Research Grants
The CKC Foundation is proud to promote research and projects aimed at supporting and improving good health across the dog population. The primary way we do this is by funding research into the causes, diagnosis and treatment of diseases in dogs through the award of our annual CKCF Research Grants. Projects in all fields of canine research are eligible for funding grants (worth up to $30,000) with particular emphasis on support for Canadian researchers.

Pawsitivity Grants
Our unique Pawsitivity Grants aim to increase awareness of the many benefits dogs bring to their owners and to Canadian society. Up to $10,000 in grants will be awarded per projects dedicated to promoting responsible dog ownership and strengthening the human-animal bond.

Richard Paquette
Richard has been involved in purebred dogs since 1971. Though he has owned and bred a variety of breeds, Shih Tzu and Lakeland Terriers are his primary passions and he is proud to have produced hundreds of Canadian and American champions as well as multiple Best In Show and National Specialty winning dogs.
In addition to breeding dogs, Richard was a professional handler for 15 years. During that time he finished over 500 champions in 80 different breeds, winning over 150 All Breed Best in Shows. Today, Richard is an active All-Breed judge who can be found judging dogs all over the world.
In his spare time, Richard is an active advocate for our four-legged friends, serving on the executives for a number of dog clubs and as a member of the Board of Directors for the Canadian Kennel Club. He is thrilled to have the opportunity to give back to the dogs he loves so much through his work on the Canadian Kennel Club Foundation Board of Directors.

Accountability
As a registered Canadian charity, The Canadian Kennel Club Foundation is required by the Income Tax Act to file annual returns with Revenue Canada. More than that, we recognize that earning your continued support requires openness and transparency about how we spend the money you donate. We're happy to say that, after a quiet period, beginning in 2014 the Foundation has been rejuvenated. We're sure you'll agree that our health and pawsitivity grants are leading the way toward a dynamic and active future.
