I think you just really have to know the breeder. AKC is accepted as the best registry here in the US, but it can easily be forged too and is more likely to have inbreeding because of its popularity so don't trust it blindly. I'm not trying to dis AKC (my Osbourne is from wonderful AKC breeding), just be sure to do your research whatever the registry. |
Yes, I know a lot of people in my area are switching to CKC just because of all the extra fees involved with AKC. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with it. I haven't been breeding long enough to form an accurate analysis.
I only have one CKC dog...my first...Maddie. Here is a picture of her. She's definitely 100% Yorkie...BUT her parents were both AKC registered...he just didn't want to fool with AKC anymore and registered them CKC (he showed me the papers and the dogs). I had first pick on a girl and there were 3 to choose from. The other 2 were both AKC, but Maddie looked the most like a standard Yorkie and was the one who stole my heart. After her...all the rest have been AKC...
Here's a pic of Maddie...
