Have I missed any one?? Wow, I realize some are reputable and some are not. But have we all just sat down and thought...a person off the street looking for a purebred yorkie would read that the pup has papers...well that means they are purebred..right? I got confused just writing them...  |
There are a few others, but the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) are the two reputable ones in North America. There are some reputable clubs overseas that I can't remember offhand. The YTCA is not a registry, they are a breed club for the Yorkshire Terrier and they set the standard for the yorkie. The YTCA uses the American Kennel Club (AKC) as their registry.
