They say as long as it looks like a yorkie breed it anyway, even with the mix breed in it, they are selling these dogs for a lot of money and they are mixed breeds. Akc is doing nothing about this. Does anymore care about this, I bought registered colored yorkies to breed, I can not breed these dogs and sell their puppies as pure breed registered yorkie, like what so many other breeders are doing with these colored yorkies. |
IF the dog you had tested as sold to you as an AKC registered dog, I think that you should definitely contact the AKC with as much documentation as you can, including AKC numbers of the dog and its parents, and the results of the MARS test, and the statements from the person who sold you the dog. Breeders should not be breeding in other breeds to get their colors and then calling the progeny purebred, and the AKC should not be registering such dogs. But if the dogs are not AKC registered, or if they are registered with a less reputable registry, there is not much you can do about it
