As for registry, are you going to show or breed your Yorkie? If not, registry doesn't matter, either. I once thought that AKC registry was some sort of assurance of overall health and quality of the dog, but over the years I've had many friends who had AKC registered dogs with genetic health problems or whose dogs fell far outside the breed standards. It happens. Bailey is our new baby. We love her and she's adorable - so her registration doesn't mean a thing. Since we know she's going to be spayed before her first heat, I'm not even certain we'll bother sending in her registration papers.

As for the "t-cup" description - it is horrid that some people breed their Yorkies to get them smaller and smaller, to the detriment of the pups. Key2Yorkies obviously, from the context of her first post, doesn't fall into that category. She was just using the term to describe a smaller puppy in a normal litter from normal parents. It's a descriptive tool. How is that any worse that talking about a teapot Yorkie?

Bailey's Peeps,
Thank You so much for understanding what I meant about my tiny little girl!
I also have quite a few bad stories about some (not all) AKC dogs being sub standard, but I won't go into it. I think that no matter what registry your Yorkies are from there is bound to be cases of poor quality breeding. ENOUGH SAID ! I also believe you should mail in your registry for the simple fact that it keeps track of names and generations if nothing else.
LOL & HAPPY FATHERS DAY
