The story you told of why your breeder left AKC is what I hear daily from people looking for help. No one is going to say that left AKC voluntarily-- its either because they were too much trouble or too expensive or some other lame excuse. Not because they were " suspended" either from the condition of the dogs, failure to do paperwork or allow inspections. It could also be because they didn't have AKC registered dogs to begin with. AKC is the only one that does inspections, and has the DNA right to test the dogs to make sure the paperwork matches
. I've had several inspections- since 1994 and they've all been fine ( of course LOL). The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America has a great website-- YTCA.ORG
Now before I get thrown off on my first day-- I'm not saying that CKC and all the others are bad-- just that I wouldn't waste my money
