BTW, here is the email I sent to them to begin with:

Hello,
First let me start by stating that I am currently the owner of and breeder of 2 CKC registered Yorkshire Terriers. My dogs are registered solely with your organization. I have been completely satisfied with my choice to own and pursue breeding under the CKC.
However, in my doing so, I have run across some issues regarding the CKC in my correspondence with others that I want to research further as to better my own knowledge of the situation. I am sure that it will not come to any shock to you when I say that I frequently find myself defending the reputation and integrity of the CKC when compared to the American Kennel Club (AKC). I have heard every comparison imaginable. It is very often that I hear claims that the AKC is much more strict in regards to ensuring that it’s registered “purebred” dogs are just that, “PUREBRED.” I guess my point in contacting your organization is in the hopes that you could give me an official ‘answer’ to some of the questions I have in regards to the claims I hear regarding CKC.

1) I have heard claims that the CKC allows for the registry of
“mixed breeds” i.e. Yorkie-Poos, Malti-Poos, etc. Could you please verify if this information is correct? I searched the site, but could not find anything to either confirm or deny this.
2) I have also defended the CKC after being confronted with claims
that no ‘follow-up’ is ever made to ensure the status of registered offspring as ‘purebred’ or that the information regarding the reported dam/sire of a litter is correct. I can only imagine such an investigation would only be made by the CKC if a complaint was made in regards to a breeders practice. I am away that the CKC is subject to requiring breeders to prove their dam/sire claims via DNA+ test. My question is, what action would be required to warrant such an investigation? A complaint made by the owner of a registered puppy/dog sold by the breeder?
I am just curious…
3) Also, I noticed that the breeder’s rights can be revoked if it is
proven that they have falsified the provided information. Do these sanctions placed on the breeder apply to their status as a breeder as a whole, or just in relevance to the dam/sire/litter in question?

As I stated before, I have never had any complaints in regards to my dealing with CKC. My motivation is to have some things ‘officially’
clarified so that I am fully aware of all of the ‘facts’ in dealing with the CKC.
Thank You for your help!
