How to Get a Yorkie Poo CKC Registered

A Yorkie poo, a cross between a Yorkshire terrier and a poodle, fits the definition of a mixed-breed dog, which requires that the dog be formed from two purebred dogs. As a mixed breed, the Yorkie poo is not eligible for registration with many major kennel associations, but the Continental Kennel Club, or CKC, does allow owners to register non-purebred dogs. As a registered dog, your Yorkie poo is eligible to participate in CKC performance events.

Include the color, sex, birth date and breeder name, if known. Include the owner's full name, address and contact information. Enter the sire's and dam's names. If the sire and dam are registered with the CKC, enter their CKC numbers.
