It's the best we have in terms of documenting lineage but it can be easily frauded. The pet trade is a multimillion dollar business and as with all businesses, people quickly find ways to get over.
The CKC accepts AKC registration and pedigrees in order to get CKC registration. More and more yorkies have CKC registration now because they come from dogs that were only granted limited AKC registration from their breeders with or without spay / neuter contracts......So many CKC dogs actually have pedigrees and bloodlines technically just as good as many AKC dogs.
