There are good and bad breeders in any registry you find. Don't assume that the registry alone indicates an ethical breeder or quality dog. Granted, alternative registries let alot slide and allow things AKC shouldn't so you do have to excercise more caution. All the more reason for people to educate themselves on what makes a good breeder and quality representation, and focus on that and how they and the registry they decide to use best suits their goals and what they are looking for.
Congrats on being a new Yorkie owner and welcome to YT.
