  Pixie is CKC and Mylan is AKC.  I have a new male baby (pics later) that we have double registered.  CKC has a lot of mixed reactions.  TXShopper73 is right in saying that a lot of breeders did switch to CKC because they were suspended from AKC.  Pixie's breeder was suspended for a short time because her record keeping was not set up per AKC standards.  (Her pups are well kept and clean, so her suspension is a short one and not permanent.)  And Pixie is a jewel... no problems at all.  But to help my buyers feel safer, I am having Pixie and Gizmo DNA certified.  (My AKC pups are DNA certified already.)  That way my buyers can rest assured that the parents I state on the paperwork are, in fact, the parents!!!  (I DO NOT want to lose my good reputation! because once you screw up... it's over!)  So don't bash CKC too badly... there are good and honest breeders registered there also.  Just do your homework well before purchasing a pup.  Ask lots of questions and keep posting here to get feedback from others that may have dealt with a breeder you are considering.  I know that Mardelin and TXShopper73 are good resources.  All their posts have been very factual and accurate.  So they're a safe bet on advise.
 Anyway, if you are going to breed, visit AKC and CKC's websites to learn what paperwork you need to keep on hand (to stay within their record keeping standards).  They have blank forms and tons of help to keep you in line.  And lots of breeders here to help out.
