| There is a widely held belief that "AKC" or "AKC papers" guarantee the quality of a dog. This is not the case. AKC is a registry body. A registration certificate identifies the dog as the offspring of a known sire and dam, born on a known date. It in no way indicates the quality or state of health of the dog. Quality in the sense of "show quality" is determined by many factors including the dog's health, physical condition, ability to move and appearance. American Kennel Club - About Registration If you find an AKC male you like, you can duel register through ACA. Good luck in your search. |

| I like ACA better since it isn't as prestigious as AKC. IMO, I find AKC breeders to be very snooty & conceited. ACA is a lot more flexible, IMO.

| Well, well well, I am not snooty or conceited and all my dogs are AKC. I find ACA is a far inferior registry . You would be better off with something else. of course I understand you probably have an ACA female you want to breed but I would make sure of her heritage first to make sure you have the real deal since ACA is so lax in their requirements. |

| How many kennel inspections a year does ACA do? Does ACA require blood work? What proof do you provide them on the puppies? What about dog shows - do they have any?

"American Canine Registry does not use outside breed standards. ACR has it's own set of standards." American Canine Registry - Policies & Goals I assume by "outside" standards, it means the official standard set by the YTCA? | |

That is ACR not ACA ACA site Welcome ACA American Canine Association To the OP Saying that all AKC breeders are snotty is no more correct then saying all Missouri breeders are BYB or Mills. All Show Breeders are snobs. All USDA breeders are bad. It's not the case. While all registries have their pit falls. It important to remember to trust the person you are dealing with. Fancy websites mean little now days. (lurking behind some of these fancy sites could be a bad person). It’s always best to see the dog first hand and the conditions it’s kept in. Look for someone who is knowledgeable about the breed. A breeder who claims to have been breeding for years means little if they have no love for the breed. And dogs are used as just a way to make a living. Look for a person breeding for health, conformation and a general all around well structured dog. One with good references. Remember a breeder with nothing to hide will not mind you asking several questions. Will tell you of any problems they have had and what was done to correct it. They should also want to know all about you and you goals towards the breed. It’s also nice to have a support system with your breeder, to help get you through your first few whelpings and any problems that pop up. Sometimes finding that special near perfect dog takes awhile. Studying the breed and the health issues is one of the main points to help you in find a nice dog. | |

I must add that if akc is not listed on a website or ad, I would not go any further. Yes the akc main work is to register dogs so that we pretty much know that the dam and sire are both pure blood yorkies. That is something I would want to know if I am going to breed or purchase for a pet. When you buy a pup it's a bit like going to LasVegas and quite a gamble unless you see parents and that helps a bit. But if you think going with a registry that will register almost anything (meaning a chihuahua, a toy terrier etc) could be in their background, you are really taking a gamble. There are other reasons like knowing they don't breed their females to death since they can get away with it. If you have made up your mind that is fine but I would hope that as a breeder and possibly a new breeder you would want to start out with something you can really be proud of later. But that's just me and I wish you lots of luck with your decision.
