Tia came with both AKC and CKC registration but I doubt that I will ever use the CKC. Kat marsha wrote: ďťż  IT is a buyers market. Everything depends on the law of supply and demand. Unfortunately, there isn't as much a demand for AKC these days. But I am like you, for me, AKC is the only real way to go. However, I have two CKC that I have not yet bred, but do plan too, in order to meet the demand/desire for CKC that is rising.Marsha ----- Original Message ----- From: Sandi To: Chihuahuas@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, April 13, 2006 1:45 PM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Re: breeders/rescuers - registries  Yep! I've never looked at the Continental Kennel Club registry to mean 'anything' to me!!!  I've been brought up in the days that the dog is either AKC registered or it's not. There wasnt anything else. So now all the breeders switching to APRI - has me leary.  But maybe it's my lack of knowledge so is why I'm asking. I've been told to -it's the cost of AKC chasing breeders away.  I dont feel the fee's are out of line though.......??   Sandi Spears ------------------- Please help Rolie Polie Olie http://www.petfinder.com/pet.cgi?action="" Mastiff Hope Rescue www.MastiffHope.org Bulldog Rescue Railroad Double S Ranch & Rescue KAT wrote: Yes, I knew about all of that but I didn't want to bring it up in case it might cause a heated discussion.

They told me they used CKC or APRI because it's cheaper to register with them than it is to register with AKC. Kat This has been so interesting that I looked that up.  Here is the AKC litter registration fee: A litter fee is comprised of two parts: a processing fee of $25.00 plus a puppy fee of $2.00 per live puppy (multiply the total number of live puppies by $2.00).That is not a lot of money. Continental Kennel Club (ckc) is free it appears for puppies but look at this:     2.Dogs over 6 months of age which have no previous Registration history may be registered by providing 2 witness signatures attesting to the purebred status of the dog along with 3 photos (front,left and right) of the dog to confirm it is �of proper breed type� as defined by our current CKC Registration Rules and Regulations.Canine Registration Applications are available in PDF format from our web site.
