So, the registry is only as good as the breeders that register their dogs.
They advertise and sell them for big dollars because there are too many uneducated (as far as dogs go) people willing to buy them

Aaaah a Lancashire lass...... You have some good stock in your breeding lines then Chick! All we can do is be true to ourselves, keep the traditional Yorkie lines true, you can pop over lass, we can pop to Chris Crowther's place just up the road from me and get you a nice little Crufts Champion winner 2009 pup, to jiggy up the USA stocks. Lancashire Hot pot for tea, yummy
