Amanda Id buy a puppy from you anyday!!! When I bought Muffy she didnt come with any papers at all and my Buddy was bought from someone on YT and he came with ckc papers that I never even sent in. I look at who and where my babies come from not some paper. Papers dont tell how the puppies have been taken care of. Dont these two look like they are Yorkies to you?? :D


Spoiled little bratts!!! :p

I agree Amanda. Your yorkies are beautiful with or without AKC, CKC, or any other papers. I'd buy one from you in a heartbeat, although my husband would probably divorce me, lol! To be honest papers on a neutered or spayed pet aren't worth a dime, anyway. I have a cat and 2 rescue dogs that are just as smart and just as lovable as Diva is. All three are mixed breeds but we love them to death, regardless of pedigree.

I have Shay, he is adorable and AKC...I have Bella whom is simply adorable too, she is CKC....do I love Shay more? NOPPERS I love em both equally the same...to tell the truth I am Gaga over them!

But there is that stigma out there, when you say CKC and ppl go OOOO...like it is a disease...

I am not showing my babies, or breeding them, they are my babies...I wanted Yorkies and thats what I have...

Your babies are adorable!!!!!!!!!!!

Amanda, I am so glad you got this out. I understand completely what you are saying. Poor little Stewie is AKC reg. and totally precious, but definitely not the prettiest yorkie. (I love you Stewie!!) And just like the other day when we were looking and I fell in love with that puppy. Yes it was AKC, and from the breeder's website, YES it was a puppymill. I have gotten a puppy from you and I have spent time in your home, and I know that you absolutely adore your dogs and they are spoiled rotten. Like some of the others have said. First and foremost should be the breeder and the care they give, not what they register with. And I for one, KNOW you are a wonderful breeder.
(I really shouldn't have posted such a loving response after what you posted on my thread!! :tongue4: Still gotta love ya though. :D)

I am touched just reading your article I can tell you love your animals more than anything in the world and that equals a excellent breeder in my book

As with people also, we can't all be show dogs! LOL! I too would not hesitate to buy a baby from you! Also, I feel like a healthy dog is what we all want in the end and just because a piece of paper says AKC,CKC or ABC does not a healthy pet make! Of course this a forum called YorkieTalk so I do understand the opinions of the hardcore yorkie yakers i think there is room for everyone who have love for these elegant little pets. Also not everyone can afford the creme de la creme! Give me a healthy sturdy fur ball any day! My Mabel came with AKC registration papers but I will not send them in...no point in it since she will be spayed. Don't let folks get you down!

Plus the package...the cherry on top :thumbup:

Those 3 little letters (AKC) are NO guarantee or indication that their dog is in any way better, purer bred or truer to standard than yours are.
My Callie is CKC and just exactly what I went looking for in a Yorkie.
People who think they are getting less of a puppy when getting a CKC are really uneducated about what that really means.
Your babies are beautiful!!!!!!

I'm so glad you got that out in the open for all of us CKC's~:D!!!!!!!!!!

I have Annie, who is AKC registered. She is my angel, had a 6 lb mom and a 4 lb daddy. I know the breeder, even met the 4 lb. grandma, but Annie grew to be 14 lbs at 5 years old. She is healthy, happy, loving and full of energy. I didn't intend to breed her (I would want to keep all the puppies), and I wouldn't trade her for any other "standard" Yorkie....so AKC doesn't mean all that much if someone just wants a dog with a great personality and temperment. I think the guidelines were intended to keep the breed pure and within standard, but sometimes nature goes outside the guidelines.
I do feel that there is too much snobbery when it comes to
whether a beautiful Yorkie is AKC or CKC or whatever, but I guess that's just human nature.

Our 1st 2 Yorkies were AKC ... I did the whole registration thing. Roxy ended up being over 10 lbs, had pancreatitis (sp?), had to have two insulin shots per day, and died at a fairly young age ... while, by the way, DH was having a liver transplant. Daisy had auto-immune problems that caused horrible skin conditions that required constant antibiotics. She did not live to be that old either. She passed last Thanksgiving. For Christmas I decided it would be good for the mental health and well-being of myself and my husband to get new puppies. So, 2 days after Christmas I got Mojo (3 mo) and Bella (4-1/2 mo). They have CKC papers, but here's the deal: I doubt I'll even file them ... it's not what's important to us. The only important thing this time around is to have lots of fun and love, be consistent with the obedience and training to give them the ultimate security, and do what we have to with the health issues if/when they come up. Bella and Mojo have added so much love to our lives - we are once again, a happy and healthy family. We don't need no stinkin' papers. :aimeeyork:aimeeyork

I know that this is going to upset some people and I understand that we all have our own opinions.. I am not intending to offend or start a fight but I just get soooo mad about it and now it has built up to where I need to vent.. Last night before bed I read a post about AKC registration. How to this person it guarantees a purebred dog and that anyone using any other registry "screamed back yard breeder to me"..Well I left it alone and went to bed and woke up today just irritated as all get out about it..I started with 2 AKC dogs..When Stewie grew to be an ugly duckling, we neutered him..When I found my next male, Bentley, I had fallen in love and put my deposit not realizing he was CKC. My heart blocked any signals from my brain..lol.. His father is a Biewer and mother AKC yorkie.. The reason the breeder registered him CKC is honestly because it was cheaper than IBC. I paid her extra to register him with the IBC because I too was unsure of CKC and what others would think..But I was NEVER going to give breeding rights so I just let it go..Well anyone who has ever been to my home, knows that I love my dogs very much and they would run this house if Gracie weren't here(3 yr old skin kid). They are spoiled and loved and treated like family. I do everything a responsible breeder is supposed to do and more...I give a HUGE puppy package to include everything you need so you don't spend alot of money on a puppy and then have to take it to the pet store to buy all the supplies.. They have ALL shots but rabies, I offer free pet sitting for life..Free grooming for life..Free hair bows for life...I am available 24/7 by phone if new owners need anything. I am proud of myself and my happy, HEALTHY puppies..My guarantee is great, just read it..Then I hear these comments and criticism and can't help but feel bad about myself. I feel like people look down on me or my pups..Well now I want to point something out and would like to hear from the people who turn their nose up at CKC.. I am going to post some pics of some AKC dogs for sale..From a puppy mill none the less but still they are AKC so that is good right?? They are for sure purebred right?? That piece of paper is all I need to proudly say, I have an AKC yorkshire terrier... So for the people who believe CKC is bad.. Please look at these dogs..Then look at my website and tell me why are my dogs considered no good? Why is this person better than me because their dogs are AKC?? With 28 dogs for sale from this person, does AKC not go to his home!!! Do they not see that these dogs look terrible and very poor quality..Can AKC not say, we are taking away your AKC rights cause these dogs do not represent the breed well?? I just don't get it!! It makes me want to cry for my babies that I love so much.. Sorry, I am just so upset about this!! ALL opinions are welcome...
