My best friend is a yorkie-poo breeder. She is on her 2nd colony at this time and is hoping to establish the breed once and for all and set the standard. She has worked at this for years. She has informed me that the CKC will be doing in home inspections in the near future. Being that they have been around for only 14 years i believe, I guess it has taken time to become established. I get really tired myself of hearing all the registry bashing that goes on on the internet. It's quite ridiculous and I feel that if you don't want a dog from a certain registry, then dont buy it and go on about your business without trying to downgrade one
registry against another. I'm sure that all the registries out there have millers using them regardless to their status. I'm also glad to know that there is atleast one registry who will register the offspring of 2 pure bred dogs. Would you like to know the kicker to this? once the two pure breds have produced pups, if one of those pups is mated to another pup just like it (from different parents, for example: a yorkie poo mated to a yorkie poo from totally different parents) then the CKC will not register the pups from the second generation of the mix breeding! Does that sound like they are only in it for the money? I think not. That is why you must work for years to establish a new breed and your colonies before they would be able to register the offspring of 2 mixes. I hear so much that people dont like ckc because they will register mix breeds. Why yes they will! And someday, those little mixes may become a true breed just like our yorkies did many many many yrs ago.
I for one don't have a problem with it. I like AKC and CKC. And neither are perfect! And I will also say this...if my friend is sucessfull in establishing her y-poos as a breed someday, I plan to join her and start my own colony. I'll always have my purebred yorkies...they are my heart and soul, but I'm also interested in other things. There are alot of breeders out there who will think of me as mud after reading this. I could care less what anyone thinks of me or what I do. I've done just fine for many yrs without the approval of anyone. So if you like the CKC, then dont let anyone try to be-little you because of it. |
