 register or not
AKC is a lot stricter on making people meet the breed standards. Here in kentucky, CKC is the less perferred one. My hubby who has been a breeder of Field Champion Beagles for over thirty years, says guys tell him this about CKC. "If it looks like a beagle they will register it even if it is not purebreed" Please any of you CKC'ers, don't take offense. That is just the way it is here in Kentucky. He was deadset against me buying a CKC Yorkie for those very reasons. Also, here, the CKC's are a lot cheaper than the AKC's. My breeder bought a pup once from someone and didn't discuss the limited registeration thing and ended up with a limited registeration on her yorkie. She gave the pup to her mother who promptly took it to CKC and got it registered. So, in that sense, it worked out. Again, pleasse don't take offense at my husbands discription of CKC dogs. Bottom line is they are just not held to the higher standard of the AKC registration. |
