I have not seen United Kennel Club discussed (forgive me if I missed it). The UKC is almost as old as AKC. I used to consider them as a registry for hunting and sporting dogs but, if you go to a show, you will see all breeds.
I know of quite a few AKC judges that register their dogs, show and judge in the UKC. In fact, 2 of those judges are Yorkshire Terrier breeders. One of them judged the sweeps at the Specialty a few years ago.

I enjoy UKC shows. I love to see my Yorkies doing Go To Ground (the job they were bred to do) and terrier racing.

It is important to do your homework. There are good and bad breeders in all registries.
