Sorry, I just get EXTREMELY pissed off when someone tries to imply or tell me that Bouncer is "nothing" b/c he isn't from some snotty AKC breeder who thinks their better than everybody else.  I'd take him AND his CKC registry anyday.  I may have three AKC yorkies, one I did buy AKC.  The other two were fosters, and honestly I ddin't give a rat's you-know-what about even registering them except just to have them in the Lost and Found program or whatever it is.  Their my kids, not my "let me brag to you how much better my dog is than yours" pet.  OK, off my soapbox now and gone from this thread.  Just makes me MAD | 
 
  
 Did you read the whole thread?  No one said that all CKC breeders were bad...and in no way did anyone imply that a CKC dog wasn't as good of a pet as an AKC dog. 

  And just because someone chooses to buy from a reputable AKC show breeder doesn't mean they think their dog is any better of a pet than anyone elses...no one is being snotty or bragging...this is just a thread about opinions and preferences
