Canadian Livestock Records Corporation is the national pedigree service for purebred and non-purebred livestock in Canada.
We are a private non-profit organization that has been serving the Canadian livestock industry continuously since 1905. The organization is incorporated under the Animal Pedigree Act, which is federal legislation that regulates the keeping of all animal pedigree records in Canada. The various breed associations are also incorporated under the same Act, and any association so incorporated may become a member of CLRC. There are approximately fifty member associations for which records are being maintained. In addition, CLRC administers, on behalf of the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, the General Stud and Herd Book for breeds for which no association has been formed in Canada.

CLRC is governed by a Board of seven directors, six of whom are elected by the member association representatives, and one of whom is appointed by the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. The Board elects a chairman annually from among the Directors. Day to day operation of the records office is the responsibility of the General Manager. During the 1980`s the complete operation was fully computerized. A new computer system purchased in 2001 ensures that CLRC is employing the most up-to-date technology available and allows for an ever increasing number of functions to be performed.
CLRC is financed by charging for work performed. Registrations and all
related functions are charged to associations on a unit cost system. One
unit, is defined as a standard two generation pedigree. The registration fee that breeders pay is set by the association.
The difference in these two costs is a major source of revenue for associations
in order that they may finance their many activities.
