Granted I believe AKC is a better club because it is much stricter and do make it harder for people to be dishonest. I know two of my CKC female yorkies parents where AKC eligible but where never registered with AKC, so now it would be difficult and expensive to get them AKC papered.
AKC charges to register a litter plus charges for each puppy in the litter where CKC doesnt. So that is some of the reason why breeders went to ckc. If my dogs are AKC eligible I register them.
As far as the puppy mill comment, I raise yorkies and some are ckc but I assure you I am not a puppy mill.
Lets face it AKC may make it harder to falisfy information but Once someone has those papers, a dishonest breeder could do some creative paper work.
90% of the people who contact me for a puppy dont care, they just want a purebred yorkie to love in their home. SOme never register their dog period.
So for those of you who own a ckc registered yorkie, your yorkie was probably registered with AKC at one time. Doesnt mean your dog is lesser, just the registry is less admired.
Its really a shame there are so many dishonest breeders out there. |
