I have a male AKC. with Full Registration (Not Limited), when I was looking for my Female "Abigail" I came across a Local Breeder that had a CKC. Litter from CKC. Parents. Frankly I think he was a "Puppy
Mill"? He tried to talk me into switching from AKC. to CKC. because he claimed that the CKC. would not charge as much for Registration, and had less red tape and less restrictions on Bloodlines/Pedigrees.
He wanted me to purchase a Female register with the CKC. and then register my male also with the CKC. and then register my future litters with the CKC.

But to tell you the truth that would be like erasing my "Artie's" whole Family Tree and slapping the AKC. in the face, what would be the point of me paying the price for Top Quality AKC.? And let me say that a high price does not assure high quality! He in fact was charging me a higher price @ $500.00 more for his CKC. puppy for a lower standard? I ended up, of course buying a AKC. female, that happened to have all the characteristics I was looking for......I just got Lucky? I had a strict criteria and no budget so the sky was my limit, but after getting my first one on a whim, without any research and paying $3,000.00 I swore I would never do that again!

Just because you buy a pair of Designer shoes on sale, doesn't mean that it's any less in quality they are still a $500.00 pair of shoes! I just found them for less?

Only the women would understand my last statement?
You get what you pay for! The AKC. is the Best, why go with anything less? Breeders make a lot of promises, just to make a sale.
(No offense to anyone here) unfortunately they are out there!
