Founding access is open to breeders and programs aligned with Crown & Collar Institute values, but recognition is never automatic.
For a limited launch period, Crown & Collar Institute is opening early membership access at no cost for the first six months.
This founding access period allows ethical breeders, preservation programs, puppy development programs, and canine professionals to enter the Institute, learn the award structure, begin preparing documentation, and participate in the early recognition process before standard membership fees are introduced.
After the introductory six-month period, Crown & Collar Institute membership will transition to a paid membership model.
Founding access does not automatically guarantee awards, titles, or recognition. Awards are granted through Crown & Collar Institute review, documentation, and evaluation standards.
