No, a CKC (Continental Kennel Club) dog cannot be AKC registered. A dog an only be AKC registered if both parents are AKC. If the dog is Canadian kennel club, then the AKC will recognize the registration but I'm assuming you mean ContKC. That is a very sad situation about the mother. What's your purpose in breeding her? If she came from a puppy mill, she probably doesn't come from the best lines and what if she takes after her mother in difficulty with birthing? Breeding should be done to improve the breed, not just because a yorkie is cute and you want puppies. Breeding a puppy mill dog is not breeding for the betterment of the breed. Also, what if something goes terribly wrong and she dies from giving birth? Is it really worth it to you to take that risk? You should have her spayed and just enjoy her as your sweet baby.

If you do decide to breed her, she needs to be bile acid tested, patellas OFA-certified. She and the stud need to be tested for brucellosis. She should also be evaluated by a show breeder/AKC judge to see if she is of quality to breed
