AKC is by far the most reliable registry. CKC has the reputation of being a "catch-all" registry for those that cannot be registered AKC. For instance, a breeder gives limited registration on a puppy so it will not be bred to death by some unethical breeder and the buyer turns straight around and registers it CKC and goes right on. Almost any mix can also be registered CKC by providing a couple of statements from people that will verify that the dog is full blooded and a picture. I am talking about Continental Kennel Club. |
