I have cross compared CKC (Canadian Kennel Club), AKC, and UKC. The standards are pretty comparable, baring some issues that are either larger or smaller dependent upon your point of view.
I would have to look deeper into the UKC to see who is the mother club recognized there. Interesting point now that you brought it to my attention.
AKC recognizes the YTCA as the National club or if you will Mother club for the YT's in America.
Right now for me as a breeder I will cross register with the AKC. The dog owner can easily then register with the UKC if they so wish to do so.
AKC is still in my mind the pre-eminent dog registry in the States.
