Although you can't guarantee an AKC dog is a well bred dog, you can guarantee that a CKC dog is a badly bred one. Since CKC has no conformation trials, no CKC dog can be proven to be representing the breed standard. Not to say that a CKC dog won't be a great dog, and a wonderful pet, but a lot of people want to support high quality yorkie breeders when they buy a puppy. Even the AKC breeders that don't show at least have ancestors that were shown. Also, AKC cares about more than money, so there are much fewer mixes registered as purebreds, much fewer puppymills, etc.
