The CKC and the AKC standards differ only slightly depending on the breed. For the Yorkshire Terrier, I believe they are the same.
The ACA isn't an impressive kennel club all around. Don't think I'm knocking your particular puppy, because I'm not! I view those breeders who use them are a little shady...like they cut corners not just on standards, but on cost as well. And again, they do in fact promote petstores and the like which to me is just irresponsible. This kennel registry is more interested in making a buck and going where the uneducated are to do it. It's very inappropriate if you ask me and I wouldn't trust a pedigree on dog if I bought it from the ACA. NOT ALL of those breeders I'm sure are shady, but I believe the vast are. |
