To the OP. That is up to the person buying I guess. Me, nope, doesn't matter. I have Maddie's papers (somewhere

) and don't even know if they are CKC,AKC and never sent them in.
I was a very uneducated Yorkie first time buyer, but am in LOVE with her. I would love to add a third to my furry crew, but would rescue, so the AKC status is not important to me.
To each thier own though.
