The pups will take the registry of the mother. I know ACA will allow you to cross over in some cases to ACA. Call them at 800-422-1864 and ask them if you can switch her to ACA. I know they will require at least a 3 year pedigree from the other registry if not more.

AKC is the only recognized bona fide registry in the US for purebred registered dogs. I would also not ever entertain the idea of breeding such a small female regardless of the males size. Way too risky IMHO.

ACA and APRI are alternative registries and used by a lot of commerical breeders.

AKC is generally considered the better of the three registries.

AKC is the oldest and strictest of registeries......

As Lorraine says.....your female is small....why borrow trouble....breeding is risky enough.

APRI - AMERICA'S PET REGISTRY INC, advertises free registration for commercial breeders, and was founded by commercial breeders and resellers. To me, it just means "Puppy mill." If your planning on becoming a breeder, please, don't just breed on one quality alone, size is just one part of standard, there are so many more important things to consider, such as, are your pets healthy? Many inherited disorders don't show up until the age of 3 when the dogs have already been bred. It's a good idea to have your pets thoroughly evaluated by a vet with proper health screening done. Here some information on the different registries. Registries. I think AKC is the only registry that is worthwhile, most of the others will register anything, and need no proof, but take the breeders "word" on whether the dog was purebred.

your female is FAR too small to breed

Yorkiesgotaluvm · 10-10-2008, 03:41 PM

I don't know about breeding. But APRI has a great forum, And they also have dog shows.

Most are Very nice and friendly people.
aprpets.org is the webpage if you want to check out the registry.

AKC as stated above is the only bonafide pure bred registry......Other's were established by puppy mills, wholesellers who did not want to contend with AKC's stringent rules and the ability to advertise that their dogs are registered and the unsuspecting public will buy their ploy. I have a friend that purchased their "yorkie" from a pet store.......the "yorkie" was CKC registered. Well the yorkie, wasn't a yorkie but, a silky....they had no recourse..........

Not to say that because you buy a AKC dog that it is the best, we all know that isn't always true....the health of the dog is the most important.

No one is talking down to you....stating a fact. The people may well be very nice.....However, the other pet registries were started by puppy millers and wholesellers, with the exception of UKC which was started by those that were in the dog sport of Utility and sporting dogs.

I'm confused...where did she talk down to you? I see your post as your first one to this thread.

ILOVEYORKIES2 · 10-10-2008, 06:55 PM

I guess no one believes that AKC has real competition with APRI. They require at least a 3 generation pedigree and most of the dogs are dual registered with AKC anyways. AKC has lost millions of dollars to APRI and I would guess that is why most people talk negative about them.

JaLaYorkieGirl · 10-11-2008, 05:29 PM

I would only trust the integrity of an AKC pedigree. There are reasons beyond monetary issues that APRI and ACA do not measure up! Take a look at their websites and read up about them and I think the differences are very clear.

Registry aside I have to a agree that a 4 lb female is too small to breed.
