Does CKC register mixed breeds, or are they referring to the parents?
"Legitimate" breed organizations, such as AKC and CKC (CANADIAN, NOT Continental) are legitimate registries and do not allow registrations of mixed breeds, even if parents were full-blood and papered.

There are "non-legitimate" breed organizations such as CKC (Continental Kennel Club) that DOES allow registering of mixed breeds... it's just another way for people to make money off mutts... and another way for the people who paid for designer breeds to feel special about their mutt...
