I am not a fan of the C(oninental) Kennel Club and here is why...
http://www.continentalkennelclub.com...yRegistrations 2.Dogs over 6 months of age which have no previous Registration history may be registered by providing 2 witness signatures attesting to the purebred status of the dog along with 3 photos (front,left and right) of the dog to confirm it is ‘of proper breed type’ as defined by our current CKC Registration Rules and Regulations.Canine Registration Applications are available in PDF format from our web site.
Now, how many dogs have people seen that could "pass" as purebred, but in fact are mixed?
Someone could have a yorkie/chi mix (for example) but the dog looks more like a yorkie and these people could get Joe Blow and his dingy wife down the street to "witness" for them and BAMMM...you can get a dog registered through CKC.
Or, you could have someone that has a yorkie/chi mix, takes pictures of a purebred yorkie, get Joe Blow and his dingy wife to sign and then you can get papers.
IMO, CKC is NOT a reputable club to go with. That's why I ONLY buy dogs that are AKC registered.
