My furbaby is CKC registered and everyone who has seen him thinks he is the prettiest yorkie they have ever seen. He has a very good show standard and standing stance for show. I have even met an AKC judge who said I should show him but that was before he learned Reeses isnt AKC registered. Lol. If your not looking to show your furbaby...I dont think it matters...just pick out which baby you like the most because a yorkie is a yorkie and they will love you no matter what registration they are with or not with.
