Not so simple, and I am pretty sure other people have asked before.
Neither AKC nor FCI recognize UKC. UKC is a private organization, whereas AKC is non-profit, I think it probably also has to do with protocal in judging and recognition, and of course politics. Here is the letter stating reciprocation between the registries (the KC in UK and CKC in Canada have almost identical letters).
Line 2 & 3 in the first page are of interest in this matter.
