Ohio breeders going above and beyond for the welfare of dogs
CCC Voluntary Standards
The goal of participating in the Canine Cares Certified program is to go beyond what is required and help promote excellence in professional kennel management. Responsible Ohio breeders care about their dogs and want to see them go to good homes to receive the best care and treatment. Participation in this program is voluntary and not meant to replace what is required by state and national law. It does complement the current standard and exceeds what is required.
