is this a good place ro have your dog register with if its a yorkie CONTINENTAL KENNEL CLUB i know most people are using AKC, |
AKC is by far the more preferred registry. Where are the parents registered? That is the organization you need to go with. |
JMO, but CKC is not a reputable registry. |
I chose not to register Bailey. Her liter was registered with the AKC and that was good enough for me. |
Joey is CKC registered, and he's pretty obviously not the best quality dog ever...don't get me wrong - he's my first yorkie, my baby, and I would do anything for my little boy, but he's got such bad knees that he's pigeon toed in the back, he's got allergies I'm pretty sure, and his hair is very thin and fine. He's got a great temperment and everything, it's just the knees and hair and such. his coloring is gorgeous, too :) I personally wouldn't go for another ckc dog, though, simply because I don't think they are as strict with the physical health quality of parents. |

What registry did your dog come with and are you planning on breeding? |

well, then I guess Joey had an ethically-challenged breeder. My mistake :) Honestly though, to the op - my boys are fixed, and it doesn't really matter to me what registry they are with - all I care about is that they're happy and healthy little boys. |
I just mean with CKC, that they will register anything, all you have to do is send in a picture of your dog at 6 months old and someone that you know has to sign verifying that your dog is the breed you say it is....They register yorkie-poos, mutts, whatever..Nothing at all is wrong with mutts, by the way, one of my best dogs EVER was a mutt..But anyways, I could care less about papers anyways, Roxie is not reg. by choice. Oh well, off my soap box now..lol.. |

Well I know that the CKC that my friend dealt with did. I mean I am all about educating myself, so please educate me. I am going to look at their website now. |
Ok this is what I found on the CKC website. Does Continental Kennel Club register mixed breed dogs, and if so, why? Yes, while 98% of the registry is made up of purebred dog registrations, CKC does offer its registration services to owners of mixed breed dogs. Owning a mixed breed dog is very common today, and CKC wants to be helpful to those dog owners as well. Many mixed breed dogs are rescued from shelters by responsible owners looking for a good canine companion to be part of their home. CKC encourages registration of these dogs for a number of reasons. Registration services provide proof of ownership, allow the dog to participate in our performance events, allow CKC to record the accomplishments of the owner and these canines, and make available all of the great services CKC has to offer. |

Unbelievable :( This makes it valid for those that continue to cross breed, without considering the health or the outcome of the mixing. Most people don't realize that this version called the CKC doesn't mean a thing. |
The only possibilities would be that 1) either you or your friend is mistaken, or 2) it wasn't the same registry. The CKC in question that the OP mentioned does NOT "register" mixed dogs as recognized breeds. It issues a certificate stating that the dog is the offspring of two recognized breeds, but does not delare them a breed of their own. It allows people with mixed dogs to qualify to enter their dogs in their agility events. I guess it also depends on what you consider "registered" to be. Declaration that the dog is a recognized breed, or simply having the dog on record with the organization. |
I just mean that my friend had a "Yorkie-Poo" and it was CKC registered. Whatever that means I don't know, Im just saying she had paperwork to prove it. |

BamaFan, could you send me a link on the CKC website to where you found that information? I honestly am just trying to educate myself, and if I am wrong, Im the first to admit it. I would just like the link to where you found this info. Thanks! |

AKC is a Purebred registery and keeps track of parentage via "Stud Books" CKC APRI and others, will register mixed breeds, but, it does not register them as abreed until itself. In otherwords your friends dog is Yorkie Poo, it's a mixed breed, but not a recognized breed. |
She had the paperwork "proving" that one parent was a Yorkie and one was a Poodle, not something "proving" that her dog was a purebred dog. Nothing more. LOL..I think we are misunderstanding each other or something. I have re-read the above statement, and what I said in my original post was that they recognize and let people register mixed breed dogs..aka.mutts. I think you are reading TOO much into my statement or I have misunderstood you somewhere. I am saying CKC will let you register any dog of any breed, mixed or fullblooded. For instance my friend owns a CKC reg. Yorkie-Poo, wether it says Yorkie poo on papers or not, she has CKC paperwork. Her mutt is reg. with CKC> |

But, CKC is not a preferred registry. It was established by Puppy Mills, BYBers that were involved in the breeding of mixed breeds, to present themselves as reputable breeders to the unsuspecting public. |
I think I am totally miscommunicating with myself and others today..lol...What I mean is that she has a CKC reg. mutt, regardless of what it says on papers. Regardless, IMO I think CKC is not a good reputable registry, of course this is just my view, not putting anyone down that has a CKC dog, mines not even registered.lol... |

A more accurate description would be that your friend has a mutt recorded by CKC, it's not registered as a breed. :) Stating that CKC will register mutts is not exactly accurate and misleading. |
Ok, this is my LAST post on this issue, wow I didn't realize it would step on so many toes. I think things can be interpreted very differently when you are reading something, so one can take it the wrong way. Bottom line my friend owns a CKC reg. dog which happens to be a Yorkie-Poo (mutt). I am so done with this thread..lol..I hope you all have a gorgeous , lovely day. By the way, are you saying that if 1 parent was a yorkie -poo and the other parent was a yorkie-poo and they had puppies, that the "children" couldnt be CKC registered? Hence the following statement you made? She is "registered" with a company that issued a certificate stating that the PARENTS were purebred, not the pup itself. |

Unless a person is into showing with their dog, does it matter? |

Here's my opinion and my opinion only. AKC holds other events and is not only involved with conformation and companion events. The are also involved with Responsible Pet Ownership. Meet the Breed. Therapy Groups. Canine Good Citizen. etc. They are also involved with Pet Legislation. So, if you are one of the many that obtained an AKC pup, by registering your dog, you are automatically a memeber to the AKC. What that membership does is give you the opportunity to have a voice in a lot of those events, and changes. It's not all about showing. |
Mardeline, that makes sense and never even thought of it as I have never had anything to do with them. My Corso was in some ARBA events when young, the Yorkie has just been a stay at home Queen. Have a great day....young lady |
