CKC, APRi and others will register animals from mixed breedings and also will register a dog as a purebreed dog if you send pictures and a couple of signatures. The dog may be a mix that looks like a yorkie and you could get yorkie papers on it! Not credible in my book. |
My male (Tigger) was AKC reg. and my female (Precious Baby Bella) was ACA. I dual registered them with APRI. I chose to do so because APRI has excellent Customer Service, among other things! APRI REQUIRES a 3 generation pedigree in order to register your dogs & if you are coming from another registry, you must be in good standing with them. APRI also holds Dog Shows & is growing by leaps & bounds.
APRI has another registry (AKR), but it is totally separate. I would strongly suggest you check out their website
http://aprpets.org and make up your own mind. You don't even have to register your puppy thru ACA 1st, just send them your paperwork & fees. Then if you do decide to breed, your pups can be registered thru them too. Good luck & don't ever think your yorkie is not purebred just because of who it's registered thru! Precious has way more AKC ancestors than she does ACA ancestors
