Are you a registry snob? I'm not trying to start a big fight, just asking a question:D I think I may be a snob myself. I have two Yorkies (though I don't know if my little guy is going to survive around here) my female is AKC and my male is CKC. I also have three other dogs, two are AKC and one CKC and I'm leaving Sunday to pick up an AKC female Mastiff... I have such a problem with those darn CKC papers! I don't know why!! My two Yorkies even came from the same breeder, both are beautiful...and yet knowing Simon is CKC registered is driving me nuts. I know it doesn't make sense at all. I know papers mean nothing unless you plan to breed or show and bad breeders are out there no matter what registy they happen to use. OK now after reading this before posting, I know I am a snob and it's wrong. Please, don't take all this the wrong way LOL I don't make a difference in the way I treat any of my dogs (ok I do admit that Jersey (Yorkie) and Tank (Mastiff) are my favorites) but everyone gets the same amount of attention and love. |
I only want AKC registered yorkies so I quess that makes me a registry snob. |
I'm happy to know I'm not the only one:D |
I wouldn't own a yorkie that WASN'T AKC. Sorry to any CKC breeders (or any other registry breeders) out there. |
Ok, I'll be the first one to amicably disagree. ;) I really don't care one way or another. Everyone has the right to their opinions, but mine is that I think people put way too much stock in registries when we all know that they guarentee nothing. To me, its like fancy name brand clothes. The name alone makes the item costly but does not necessarily guarentee the quality of the item. |
I'm with AKC but it wouldn't matter to me IF my girls weren't registered now - it was important when I looked.... but now that I have them and love them - it just doesn't matter - I don't plan to breed so I'm just happy they're both healthy and happy. |
I really don't care. Both of mine are CKC but their just pets so it doesn't matter. Unless your wanting to show, then it really doesn't matter as long as you check out the breeder. Crystal |
I really don't like AKC at all. I don't find them easy to get along with and everyone there is snobs. I do have Akc papers on some of my dogs and I have ACA papers on some of my dogs (which I don't like them either) and I have UKC papers on one of my dogs and I am working at dual registring them with APRI I like them the best. They are very helpful and easy to get along with. And they have shows too! JMO but I feel that the quality of the dog is more important than the papers that go with it. :aimeeyork |
I've never heard of some of those...I know about AKC, CKC and UKC. |
AKC snob present and accounted for! I personally prefer that my furbabies are AKC. But, again it is a personal preference. ALL my canine babies from childhood to present have been AKC registered. With SO many registries popping up :confused: WHO can keep up!?! :scratchhe Just makes things easier for me. :wavey: |

I totally agree as long as they are healthy and come from a good breeder that's all that matters to me. I haven't sent the papers in to register Georgie, he is registered #1 in my heart that's all that matters to me:D |
Ok, let me just say I'm probably the worst. I have two-one I never bothered to get the papers for and another that is a rescue (had papers) and I didn't get them. Papers, pedigrees mean nothing to me, I'd love them anyway. |
All of mine are AKC,but I have had CKC and it never really bothered me.But now since I am breeding and all of mine are AKC then thats what I usually look for when I get a new one. Faith |
All of our dogs since we were married 45 years ago have been AKC and that has been many dogs and many different breeds. That doesn't necessarily guarantee that they are a good bred dog. Both of mine now, Yorkie and Westie are AKC and Yorkie is register with 2 others. I can't remember which ones. APRI I believe. It really doesn't matter because they are just pets and I had them spayed and neutered so I probably won't send the papers in. Unless you are going to breed them and if they are just a pet, I don't think it matters. Yes, when I am looking for a particular breed of dog regardless of what kind, I want it to be bred well and have all the characteristics of that particular type of dog. AKC registry does not guarantee that. Some of the pictures of Yorkies I have seen proves that. They are AKC registered but some of their owners wonder if they are even pure bred. I love both of mine dearly and I think they are both so beautiful so it doesn't matter. |
I have both AKC and ACA. I find most who are looking for a pet do not care what registery it is. I'm more concerned with the health (first) and the least amount of faults in the way the dog looks (second)....since I do not show. So, NO..I am not a registery snob..;) |
I would say I'm not a snob. If I weren;'t goiing to breed, I would not have registered mine. But I have a sister that is a registry snob. She is always flaunting that a horse or a dog or whatever, is registered. I think she even registerewd her kids. LOL To me it does not matter, because any dog can be registered if the parents were registered, whether they are breed standard or not, So to me, it really means nothing |
Snob? .... no. AKC registered? ... yes. Very impressive pedigree? ... yes, lots of Champions. Our greatest concern was a healthy pet and we had always found that this type pup always turned out to be the healthiest ... not that non-registered ones aren't ... this was just our experience. We would love Toto no less had we found her in a garbage can ... we were just blessed to be able to find exactly what we were looking for! ;) |
Before I got my yorkies I thought I was, I was looking for AKC only and wouldnt buy CKC or with out papers. Well I've had them both for about 2yrs now and havent registered them, I realized the papers dont really matter to me one bit. Im not going to breed or show them so I'll never register them. |
My baby is akc but I really don't care much what she is as long as I have her. I know it means alot to some people where they are registered, but not me. Anyway the only diffrence with akc and ckc is that akc has been around longer so it's more well known. |
Snob? ....Not me. I have AKC and ACA yorkies. Most people I sell my pups to are looking for pets only. If you were going to show your dog I can understand registering with AKC... but other than that.... Just having a dog registered AKC does not depict the quality of the dog.:) |
I don't think AKC or any registration means that much, lots of poor examples of the breed are registered. Wanting a good pedigree might make me a snob, but I enjoy having a beautiful Yorkie, even if she is just a pet. |
I think unless you're breeding or going to show your yorkie, who cares! Coco is ACA registered and when I compare her to some AKC yorkies I've seen, she is way more standard than they are. I have seen dogs that look like Silky's being registered as yorkies in AKC, so it's not really accurate. Coco is ACA but has perky ears that have stood since the beginning and has rich colors, with no silver, and has a straight back, ect. So if we were comparing anything, it should be how close to standard your yorkie is, rather than who you are registered with, because now they want to register designer dogs (mutts). To me AKC means nothing. |
I didn't even register Cali I can't remember what she could have been registered as but it wasn't AKC. All of my other dogs were AKC just because that's what the breeder had. I could care less I know from now on I will be very careful about health and if that means AKC or not I don't care. |
I have always registered my dogs (always AKC) .... But I got my little Yorkie, who can be registered, but I didn't even fill out the paperwork and send it in. All I have ever done with any of my dog's registration papers is put them in a drawer and never look at them again. My Yorkie is a pet - neutered and will never be shown. I really was no reason to register him. I know he could be, and I know he's a purebred, but why waste the money. I guess I'm the "opposite of a snob." I could care less -- and I am positive that no one else cares either. Good luck! Carol Jean |
Thanks everyone:) |
All of my pets are AKC. Don't consider myself a snob. Never really thought about it. For some reason AKC gives me a piece of mind. |

PS. I had to edit because I put the WRONG registry down. I said CKC, when it's ACA. I guess I don't care. I couldn't even get it right! LOL |
I could not care less! My first 3 never got registered, and Dennis probably won't either unless I breed him. |
er whats the difference between the 2? here in the uk i think we only have one (the kennel club) |
All of our traditionals are AKC registered with Champion lines. I really don't think we are registry snobs though. We are planning on breeding so we wanted everyone to be the same registery. If I was to have a pet only and as long as I could see the parents...I wouldn't care in the least. I have seen some ummm how do I say it...attractively challanged AKC yorkies that are not in breed standard at all and I have seen Yorkies that are not even papered at all that are BEAUTIFUL! |
