A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a connected dominating set of $G$ if it induces a connected subgraph of $G$. The minimum number of vertices in a connected dominating set of $G$ is called the connected domination number of $G$, and is denoted by $\gamma _{c}(G)$. Let $G$ be a spanning subgraph of $K_{s,s}$ and let $H$ be the complement of $G$ relative to $K_{s,s}$; that is, $K_{s,s}=G\oplus H$ is a factorization of $K_{s,s}$. The graph $G$ is $k$-$\gamma _{c}$-critical relative to $K_{s,s}$ if $\gamma _{c}(G)=k$ and $\gamma _{c}(G+e)$ for each edge $e\in E(H)$. First, we discuss some classes of graphs whether they are $\gamma _{c}$-critical relative to $K_{s,s}$. Then we study $k$-$\gamma _{c}$-critical graphs relative to $K_{s,s}$ for small values of $k$. In particular, we characterize the $3$-$\gamma _{c}$-critical and $4$-$\gamma _{c}$-critical graphs.
