I would be angry too if I were lied to. In my area, CKC as well as AKC are the same price range. I have found much nicer pups ckc registered in my area though. I guess there is not as many people breeding around here anymore. 15 years ago, i bought a puppy which i would not have traded for anything but, she was supposed to be about 7 pounds at the biggest, her mom was 5 pounds and dad 3 pounds. Her pedigree had 6 generations of champions and she was AKC registered. She was 11 to 12 pounds full grown. so this AKC breeder had big dogs someplace in her line. I say if you want to show your dog get AKC only because they sponser the shows. other then that just make sure you know enough about the breed to see for yourself what you are getting and don't worry about the politics of it if it is going to just be your pet. I personally don't care what the registration is, I just want a sweet healthy yorkie.
