History and profile

Founded in 1889, Dogs in Canada was the oldest continually-published magazine in Canada.[2] It was started as a newsletter owned by Apex Publishing Ltd, a subsidiary of The CKC.[3] The magazine originally focused purely on Pedigree dogs and dog shows. A subscription was previously included in the price of membership of the CKC.

Following a shift in editorial direction, Dogs In Canada became a more general-interest dog magazine, aimed at pet owners.[4] After the shift in content proved to be financially disastrous, subsequent changes in editorial staff returned the magazine to its original focus.

The December 2011 edition and 2012 annual marked the final publication of Dogs in Canada, however the CKC maintains a digital archive for its members.[1] This was followed a decision by the Canadian Kennel Club to close its publishing arm, Apex Publishing, citing the worsening financial state of the publishing industry.[4][5][6]
