You have to tell us FIRST if the dogs are:
Canadian Kennel Club which is VERY reputable
or
Continental Kennel Club, which should NOT have been established with a name that would confuse it with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC). The reputability of this Kennel Club is in question my many people. I have friends who think it's not a valid Kennel Club and I have friends who have dogs registered with this Kennel Club.
So... if you're planning to show the pup as it grows up, you should check with the shows and see what THEY think of the Continental KC. If you're not planning to show, or breed, then that's a different matter.
Ask you local pet stores and trainers this question. They can tell you more accurately than a bunch of strangers who don't live in your area. -!-

CKC, Continental Kennel Club, is a made up, phony registry used by back yard breeders and puppy mills - you could register a blind pig if you paid the fee --- it means nothing.
The only legitimate registry in the U.S. is the AKC - so a CKC pup is from a bad breeder (byb or puppy mill) and worth no more than a mutt = which is to say, an adoption fee to cover the vaccinations it has had.
Don't be fooled or conned.
Go to a shelter and adopt a pup, or a breed rescue if you want a pedigree - do an online search for the breed rescues of the kind of dog you are interested in.
Do some good by giving a homeless dog a good home instead of encouraging horrible breeders to make a buck off the suffering of animals.

CKC (Continental Kennel Club) is a scam registry used by puppymillers so they can claim their dogs have "papers". AKC is a legitimate purebreed registry. AKC registration ALONE is not a guarantee of quality Here are some suggested questions one can use to determine if a breeder is truly responsible: 1. Is she an AKC registered breeder of good standing and an active member of her breed Parent Club? 2. Are there AKC Champions listed on the pedigree, showing that the breeder spends her time & money to prove the quality of her breeding stock through competition? 3. Are all the animals kept in clean, comfortable, healthy, loving circumstances? 4. Did the breeder conduct extensive interviews with you and every member of your family? 5. Have the sire & dam received all available health clearances, (eg. OFA Hip & Eye, Thyroid testing, THESE VARY FOR EACH BREED) 6. Is she willing to honestly discuss any possible genetic defects that may exist in her line? 7. Does she have a Sales Contract? 8. Does the contract contain a clause stipulating that you spay or neuter the puppy before it reaches a certain age? 9. Does the contract contain a clause stating that if at any time in the puppy's life, you can no longer care for it, it must be returned to the breeder? (This ensures that no animal bred by this breeder will ever end up in a shelter). 10. Will the breeder maintain contact with you for the life of the puppy to answer questions and help in general?

It sounds like CKC is bogus.
"CKC will recognize a cross between any two purebred dogs, and will issue a registration certificate on their offspring. These crosses are not registered as purebred dogs but are registered as the offspring of purebred dogs. CKC accepts no responsibility for any inaccurate, false, or fraudulent information submitted on registration applications. They sponsor no shows or championships. They also give big fee breaks to large kennels registering lots of dogs (such as Puppy Mills). Will register dogs not registered with other recognized registries."

Nekkid Truth!
Depends on if its Canadian or Continental
If its Canadian KC.. then its worth as much as an AKC dog of the same breed and bloodlines.
If its Continental KC.. then the pups are worth no more than about $50-100 each, depending on how much vet care was put into them. Continental is a SCAM and not even worth the ink its printed on. There's no guarantees the dogs are even purebred.
