Where does it state that on their site? All I can find is:
"Dogs over 6 months of age which have no previous Registration history may be registered by providing 2 witness signatures attesting to the purebred status of the dog along with 3 photos (front,left and right) of the dog to confirm it is ‘of proper breed type’ as defined by our current CKC REGISTRATION RULES & REGULATIONS"
Which states the following:
5. The CANINE Registration Application must be used to register dogs whose  
arents are not registered with CONTINENTAL KENNEL CLUB. The dog owner must complete the application and provide a copy of registration papers from another kennel club (approved by CKC) as proof of his/her dog being purebred. If other kennel club papers are not available, the dog owner must provide two witnesses who can verify the accuracy and truthfulness of the information listed on the application. When using the witness option, your dog must be at least 6 months of age and you must submit 3 photos (front, left & right) of your dog with the application. If any of the information listed on the application or the  hotos submitted are challenged, the dog owner agrees to bring forth said witnesses.
Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking the CKC- My new li'l girl
(first yorkie & first small dog ever for that matter lol) is CKC and for what it's worth I'm an obedience/agility/SAR person who believes in overall abilty as well as
"healthy" confirmation guidelines (another story in itself lol).
I'm not knocking any registry at this point as long as the pups are healthy and happy. I've shared my life with Neapolitan mastiffs for the past 15 years, going to the European breeders and checking them out
in person and use the registration from their country/countries of origin (
Italy ENCI-FCI and Hungary MEOE-FCI).
Bottom line is, there are "shady" breeders in EVERY registry- NOT just the CKC, APRI, etc.- Sadly, NONE are exempt, not even the AKC. Do your homework- check the breeder out
thoroughly before you fall in love with the puppy... Just sayin'
