But if anyone else came on here asking about breeding mixed breeds they would be bashed to death. So why is it ok for AKC to do whatever it is they are doing? Money? That is what I think! Plain greed will destroy them. | |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | ![]() Many people who had shelter dogs, or dogs of uncertain parentage wanted their dogs to be able to participate in agility trials, or other events. The members of AKC voted this in. No one is making anyone join.

I seriously doubt it was inhumane conditions. If it were they would have surley been caught up to by now and shut down. I know a few breeders that left AKC because of the high fees. Actually they didn't leave but decided to dual register their dogs with APRI. | |

The other registries support and register puppymill dogs, period!!!!!!!!! They make money, have no ethics and no reason to close anyone down. I think this is a lame excuse for bad breeders to defend the practice of using a substandard registry. | |

I am sure there are some wonderful dogs with APRI registration. I have seen some beautiful pets here on YT with APRI registration. Nothing against those Yorkies! But knowing why it was started and the original participants, I could not contribute to their cause. I'd rather leave a dog unregistered than send money to them. I do not think many breeders really left AKC because of high fees. Registration for a litter does not cost that much even now, and can easily be recooped in the price of puppies. Registering a litter with AKC is $25 plus $2 per pup -- hardly high enough to make a person change registries if that was the only reason. Sure APRI is only $5 per litter plus $1 per pup, but when you spread that difference of $20 over the cost of a litter, what is really at stake? The only ones that might affect to a sizeable amount are the puppymills selling hundreds of dogs a year. No, breeders did not flock to the other registries until the DNA testing issues came up. Now, AKC breeders know that at any time, their puppies may be tested and they will be held accountable for the pedigree. Breeders who had often guessed which sire had mated their dam because of sloppy breeding practices, were now faced with being suspended and their reputations ruined. Another thing to look at is what is the registry doing with the money? Are they just cranking out papers and pocketing the money? Or are they doing as the AKC does and promoting breeds, holding shows in agility, field trials,and confirmation? Are they active in educating the public? Are they active in missions to benefit dogs? You get the idea. AKC is the only way I would go on a dog purchase, unless it was a rescue situation. CKC is fine if it means Canadian Kennel Club but the Continental Kennel Club also goes by CKC so you have to be careful. I am sure they did that on purpose, thinking they could ride the reputation coat tails of the other CKC.

| ![]() Did you look through the list? It is a perpetual list that is constantly added to. You can find suspensions from the 1990's through to present. The dates suspensions start and the date the suspensions are over are both posted. It looks like most suspensions are for a period of 10 years.

I hate it when people justify bad breeding practices on untrue myths such as all registries are the same, papers mean nothing.... Papers may mean nothing with some registries but with others it's all the work and ethics that have to be held to get them. Not all registries have the same code, some have almost none. People who may not have had the time, care or knowledge may say otherwise but in realitly you really do have a better chance at a heatlhy dog when it has been bred properly and held to AKC and hopefully YTCA requirements. | |

| ![]() I was mall shopping last weekend and of course went into the pet store (not buying)There was the cutest little yorkie there that was half white sitting in the cage.Now im thinking in my head could it be a parti or biewer but asked to see him.After holding him for a few minutes ,i noticed white hair all over my pants and shirt asked the girl if he was purbreed she said of course !He is AKC ,we know the breeder (ya know the typical spiel ya get)well thats the first yorkie i seen that shed like that ,of course he wasnt purebred but AKC none the same. I think people need to take a more active role and look into the breeder ,health records ,ask questions and visit where the dogs are kept to see how their treated.

A breeder whose puppies are AKC registered is a starting place, just one of the elements that make up a responsible breeder. To get a puppy who will grow up to look like a Yorkie is supposed to look, you need to find a breeder who is carefully breeding to the Yorkie standard. Because of their popularity, most of the Yorkies out there today are from backyard breeders who are breeding pet quality dogs. | |

| ![]() [QUOTE=Ladymom;2649765]A Yorkie can be purebred, AKC registered, yet not be close to the Yorkie standard. White is a color fault, but doesn't mean that the puppy isn't purebred. I wasnt basing my conclusion not on the yorkies color but the fact it shed.Yorkies dont shed ....this puppy left hair all over me.
