I know I might be the exeception to the rule, but the AKC is becoming a MONEY talk registry in my humble opinion..
to the OP, if you send me a full body shot of your baby and tell me, does he look more longer than tall? does his coat is more sparse than the full fluffy full coat yorkies puppies show?
maybe he is a silky and they are as good as yorkies..

The problem with you writing this is you give "bad breeders" excuses for not registering their dogs. It's up to all of us to help inform people of the differences between good and bad breeders. I've read many times that it only cost $25 .00 to register a whole litter. How much are you saying it costs to register a litter? If you aren’t showing or registering litters, I do think the average breeder is making a bundle of money. It’s the breeders who show that have a hard time breaking even. The AKC is just a registry, it's not a breed club, they enforce rules on bookkeeping and ensuring breeders records are correct. Many breeders aren't registering them because they know that if they are have over a certain number of litters a year, the AKC will do more frequent inspections. It's difficult for people to find good breeders and not registering the dog is a major red flag.
Also, when I suggested it might be part Silky, I wasn't implying the Silky breed weren't as good, but I believe a person should support really good purebred breeders not mixed breed breeders.
