Are you wanting to breed Yorkies? First, a reputable breeder would not be CKC and thier are some AKC registered breeders that are not good or reputable either. But between the two AKC should be your choice. I would suggest you go to the YTCA website and learn more about the Yorkshire Terrier, and then take plenty of time talking to some of the breeders here on YT about what you need to know. This website is full of GREAT and IMPORTANT information. |

We have many reputable breeders. Please go to www.ckc.ca to find out what you need to do to become a ckc breeder and to www.akc.org for their requirements. |

Yes, I agree, it's really important to understand the breed, and all the health problems associated with the breed. Because of the popularity, breeders have been breeding them for money, not a love of the breed, so this means they have skimped on research and health testing. Here's a great thread, one of members posted: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...-answered.html. I do want to warn you that because of the economy, many rescues are having a hard time placing dogs, and many good breeders are cutting back in their breeding programs because they are having a hard time finding suitable homes. Finding a good home for the offspring is a very important responsibly for the breeder, and many breeders are taking a monitory loss to do this. Please don't go into breeding because you want to earn extra money, only if you have a true passion for breeding. Otherwise, you will not want to do all the reading and research that is necessary. |

OK so... A.K.C. = American Kennel Club C.K.C.= Canadian Kennel Club or Continental Kennel Club A.C.A. = American Canine Association A.P.R.I. = American Pet Registry Inc. Y.T.C.A. = Yorkshire Terrier Club of America Have I missed any one?? Wow, I realize some are reputable and some are not. But have we all just sat down and thought...a person off the street looking for a purebred yorkie would read that the pup has papers...well that means they are purebred..right? I got confused just writing them...:confused: |
I would say to the OP to do your homework. Like before you buy a car you research, check out the car, look it up on line, check the reviews, ask a mechanic how often they are serviced, etc. So if you do that for a piece of machinery...you better do twice as much before breeding. Because unlike cars the dog you purchase to breed can have lasting effects on the breed itself. Do your research. Talk to Yorkie owners and breeders. Study the AKC standards and what a great representation of the breed looks like. Learn about all the testing that a breeding dog needs prior to breeding, talk to your vet. Then get a mentor and go from there. You should be breeding to improve your lines, not to try and make money. |

I think there is also a CKC = Canine Kennel Club |

There are a few others, but the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) are the two reputable ones in North America. There are some reputable clubs overseas that I can't remember offhand. The YTCA is not a registry, they are a breed club for the Yorkshire Terrier and they set the standard for the yorkie. The YTCA uses the American Kennel Club (AKC) as their registry. |
So which CKC was the reader asking about. I feel bad for the original C.K.C.and the Canadians that have to deal with this. And the list goes on.... |

Differentiating between the Canadian Kennel Club and other KC using CKC initials actually isn't hard. You can't be a Canadian Kennel Club breeder if you reside in the USA. As a Canadian, I am a member of Canadian KennelClub, my dogs are registered CKC first as the litters must be Canadian Kennel Club registered from Canadian KennelClub registered parents, because they are born in Canada. I can use a AKC sire at stud from a breeder in the US and send the Canadian litter registration to that breeder to sign as stud owner and it is then submitted to CKC. I register each pup in Canada and then if I want to, I can register any individually CKC registered pup with AKC with the correct paperwork that AKC requires. If you reside in the US and your litters are born in the US then the litters must be registered AKC from AKC full registration parrents. Once the individual dog registration is done, that AKC registered dog can then be registered in Canada if you wish again following the requirements of paperwork submitted to the CKC in Canada. Hope this helps. |

Found these ones listed too...:rolleyes: ACHC = American Canine Hybrid Club DDKC = Designer Dogs Kennel Club DRA = Dog Registry of America, Inc. My original point was not to compare the CKC in Canada to the USA CKC. No comparison. My point was to say with "lay" people or the regular public at large most do not even know what papers are the right papers. I spend alot of time with my perspective puppy owners and most do not even know what registry means let alone which one is the REAL one. Frustrating to me at times. So when the OP was asking about AKC vs CKC I am pretty sure she meant the USA one however the clarification was not made and the OP has not posted since I do not believe. Sorry to my Canadian neighbors, I was not meaning to put down the REAL CKC. |
I apologize for not specifying. Yes, I did mean for the USA. |

Thank you for responding Anna |
lol. Ok. So back to the original question. After all the research which I have done. I know about the testing and the risk's that can occur. I do want to better the breed and I am not out to make money. How do I become a registered breeder with the AKC? |
Also, I was looking on the YTCA Website. How do you become a member, am I missing the link or the info on how to become a member? Thanks |
