In all honesty, I can't find any truth in that statement. I have seem CKC dogs that were georgeous and AKC dogs that don't look like they've ever even seen a Yorkie. |
i registered Gatsby with the AKC because his breeder asked me to she really wanted me to show him i diddent have the time gatsby was DNA tested with the akc and i trust them but my big reason was the lost and found system a neighbor had her show golden retrever returned to her because of that tag and it makes me feel bettter haveing it |

I am not being nasty to you. That's not me! You just came on so strong in what you believe or what you thought and all I said was what the registry means. That's all. Sorry for the confussion. |
I've had wonderful dogs that weren't true representations of their breed and many that had so many breeds in them that no-one would know what they were. Obviously registration didn't matter for them at all. But, when I decided I wanted a Yorkshire Terrier, I wanted a true and healthy representation of a the breed. Because Sadie is spayed and I never intend to breed, having AKC registration on my dog didn't matter to me at all. What did matter to me was obtaining her from a breeder who has AKC registration on her dogs, and beyond that that she is a reputable, caring breeder who is breeding for the betterment of the breed. I found that and I couldn't be happier! |

I like to buy AKC registered dogs. The registry has its problems but it is by far the best registry |
Registries mean zip. People can falsify anything. You would have to get to know your breeder, be certain to know who the parents are. See proof that the mother dog recently gave birth to those pups around her. Millers would even go so far as to set up a room with a beautiful female yorkie claiming that's the mom, check her, is she indeed lactating? You really need to know the breeder. Scams are everywhere. As for value, demand dictates value. Our Eva is not registered but her "mix" is in demand and finding a first generation Morkie( meaning both parents were pure breds) is difficult, the price reflects that. But high priced hybrids don't mean anything either, you still have to know the breeder and parents of the dog. People who just believe in a piece of paper and the registration system in general need to wise up, it is what it is. |

You can pick up a dog in the street that looks like a yorkie and get it Continental CKC papers, no proof of any parentage or anything. And most of the registries like ACA, UBR, APRI, etc will take papers from any other registry and register the dog with them. So if I'm buying a puppy of any breed unless it's AKC I just have a lot less faith that the dog is actually purebred. |

I did my homework choosing a breeder for Pixie and I found an awesome breeder. I only did this bc of my other dog Daisy who came from a puppy mill and so many health issues. |

buying a yorkie ok so tomrorrow im gonna go see a yorkie. i talked to the guy and he said that with their last batch they did the litter paperes but with this one they didnt. i wanted to know if the papers are necessary and if i should feel safe gettin the puppy with out the papers |
I'd want to know why he decided not to register this litter. It's not all that expensive when you take into consideration all the other costs. I do not believe that a paper makes a dog better. Maybe for showing purposes. Piper came with CKC, but I couldn't care less if he came with xyz papers. LOL |

Fancy came with AKC papers to have her registered but I have not done it and don't really have a need to. She is one of my kids and I don't need a paper to tell me that. I don't ever plan to breed her, for one she's too little and second I wouldn't have a clue what I'm doing anyway. I have to say it did influence me a little bit when I was looking for a puppy though. But in the end I really just wanted a healthy yorkie puppy, akc or not! |
To the OP. That is up to the person buying I guess. Me, nope, doesn't matter. I have Maddie's papers (somewhere:rolleyes:) and don't even know if they are CKC,AKC and never sent them in. I was a very uneducated Yorkie first time buyer, but am in LOVE with her. I would love to add a third to my furry crew, but would rescue, so the AKC status is not important to me. To each thier own though.;) |
Hello everyone... I'm currently looking at purchasing a 9 week old baby girl.. When talking with the owner, I asked if the puppies are AKC. She stated that the parents are and on the premises and they are. However she was not registering the puppies because it cost money, and if I wanted papers she would have to charge me more for the puppy... I've had 2 yorkies both had papers... Why do I feel suspicious regarding her response...I have no plans to show though.. Any advice will be greatly appreciated |

Sure it costs money to register but not that much money in the scheme of breeding costs. Specious answer as far as I am concerned. |
