The Exotic Type & Colors of Yorkie Puppies Our Mommas Will Have

Exotic Yorkie Colors

The Exotic Type and Colors of Yorkie Puppies My 3 Momma’s Will Have:

Alex: Tri-Color Parti, Black and White Parti, Chocolate Parti with mostly White, and all registered with AKC (American Kennel Club).

Mischa and Moonshine: Black and White Parti, Tri-Color Parti, Chocolate Parti, KB Dark Chocolate, KB Black and Merle, all registered with CKC (Continental Kennel Club). Because their mom is a Merle Yorkie and their dad is a KB Black Yorkie (pictured below), they are registered with CKC, as AKC does not recognize KB or Merle Yorkshire Terriers.

The male I use for all my girls, is “Lucky,” an AKC Tri-Color Parti (photo below):

Primary Differences Between AKC and CKC

The primary difference between the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Continental Kennel Club (CKC), lies in their registration policies and standards. The AKC is a more traditional, closed registry, requiring both parents to be registered with them and often demanding DNA verification of parentage. The CKC, on the other hand, is an open registry, accepting registration of dogs with less strict requirements, even if the parents aren't registered or if they are missing some documentation. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

AKC (American Kennel Club):

• Closed Registry: Only purebred dogs with parents also registered with the AKC can be registered. 

• Strict Standards: Requires detailed documentation of lineage and may require DNA testing to verify parentage. 

• Focus on Purebreds: Primarily focuses on registering and promoting purebred dogs. 

• Established: Founded in 1884, it is the oldest and largest kennel club in the United States. 

• Breeds: The AKC recognizes a specific list of purebred breeds. 

CKC (Continental Kennel Club):

• Open Registry: Accepts registration of purebred dogs, regardless of parentage registration, or even missing documentation. 

• More Relaxed Requirements: Allows registration based on visual confirmation and witness testimony. 

• Broader Breeds: Recognizes over 400 breeds, including mixed breeds. 

• International: Operates in all 50 states and 30 foreign countries. 

• Founded Later: Started in 1991. 

Please understand, the quality of puppy has absolutely nothing to do with which club they are registered with. There are unscrupulous and backyard breeders in both organizations and plenty of scammers out there as well.

The best criteria to use when looking for a puppy, is to always “vet” the breeder: look at past litters, recommendations and research all the ways that are important to you. A responsible breeder won’t mind answering questions, showing you their puppies through FaceTime, looking at their website for more information and produce a solid contract before any deposits are accepted. Never, ever, send money with promises of a puppy you haven’t seen -- whether it’s on Facebook, Craigslist, Instagram, etc. A legitimate breeder will always provide live videos, photos and/or FaceTime of the puppies before accepting any deposit and contract.
