If you buy a dog that is AKC you can get it registered CKC but the process is really quite long and involved- not sure what the process is to go from CKC to AKC. |
the CKC here is
Continental Kennel Club and in my opinion it isn't worth the paper it is written on - You can not go from CKC to AKC - AKC only takes dogs that you can prove the lineage on -and- any thing can be registered CKC with only a couple photos to show what it looks like - now what kind of pedigree can you have if you can register a rescue from the pound if it looks like a Yorkie -
There needs to be better education on here and elsewhere about the HUGE difference in AKC and CKC -
I don't want to hurt anyones feeling but if you buy CKC , you may as well go to the pound or rescue as you have no proof of the pedigree of the dog and it is a darling puppy i am sure but you know nothing about the background , parents , health etc- breeding CKC is usually because they don't want to spend the money it takes to get good AKC dogs - its all about the money again and mostly taking the money from uneducated people that fall in love with a darling baby.
I have vented - as i have seen so many of these babies turn out different than they were supposed to for size , looks etc and people are paying good money for what is not always a good puppy.
