If his parents weren't registered how do you know that he is even full blooded yorkie? His parents may not be pure bred yorkie, they weren't registered for some reason. Registry is set up so that they can keep track of the dams and sires of pups and be able to offer proof that they are indeed pure bred dogs. When you advertise your pup as a yorkie and take payment under that declaration, you need the proof to back that up. Only a fool pays $1000. or so for a pure bred dog with out proof of authenticity. Registries are to protect the consumer. It's like paying for a diamond and getting a fake. It might look good but if I'm going to pay top dollar for a diamond, I want proof that it's a real diamond.
