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

I reread the thread and think I found what you are refering to..where I quoted you and replied. You had said that registry didn't matter unless you were going to breed. My reply to that was to imply that it shouldn't matter whether you are looking for show dog or just a pet - you should using the same criteria when seeking out a reputable breeder. I think when I started replying I got off topic from what I meant to originally say though...in the beginning I meant to say what I just said above..but then I went on about looking for a reputable breeder even when just wanting a pet. No one should be buying from byb period, even if they just want a pet. I definitely didn't mean to imply your dog came from a byb. I wasn't directing that to you...just speaking in general about looking for a reputable breeder when looking for a pet.
