you are correct it is not the only place you can register a dog, but if you want to throw around the word "papers" on a forum such as this you need to understand what acceptable "papers" are. AKC is the ONLY registration a reputable breeder will be using. CKC (unless it's Canadian Kennel Club)and APRI and other registries willingly and gladly accept puppy mill and BYB and pet store puppies for "commercial breeding" i can guarantee you that there are very few if any reputable breeders to be found if you are getting "papers" from these registries.
nothing against mixed breed pups, i love them all, they are beautiful and wonderful pets, but they are not recognized by the AKC, they are not allowed in the show ring and thus to put it bluntly they are glorified MUTTS. they are not worth the same prices or more than purebreds and they are not recognized as a dog breed at this time. i'm glad you have a good dog and you happened to get lucky that it's healthy for a good price, but it's not a purebred and in order to get a purebred yorkie from a decent breeder you are going to have to put aside this thing you have about cost and fork over what they are worth. other choice is researching petfinder and finding a rescue pup that needs a home. trust me there are THOUSANDS in your area that need a home and i like you had my reservations about a rescue because i wanted a puppy and a purebred. guess what???! Sadie is prob. not 100% yorkie and my rescue pup is AMAZING.
