I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | No, you can never make blanket statements such as that, and furthermore you cannot conclude that just because a member is on the YTCA they are reputable, perhaps they just haven't been caught yet. The YTCA's members promise certain things and can be expelled for not behaving in an ethical manner. That said, I think the YTCA referral list is an excellent way to introduce you to breeders in your area so that you can interview them.

| Hmmmmmm I know some dedicated members, but it's pretty exclusive and hard to get into, and the word "cartel" has crossed my mind more than once. I'm sure there are excellent members as well as not so good. You really have to assess the whole situation when evaluating a breeder. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | The YTCA is the parent club for yorkshire terriers...as such they dictate the standard for yorkies. Many are members soley because they are involved in showing and not necessarily for breeding purposes other than perhaps for their own lines. They request to be included in the breeder's list that's available on line. No, I don't think a breeder has to be a member of YTCA to be reputable, however, ones that are...have agreed to a specific code of ethics.

| Nope...not at all. However, those who are members have achieved the right due to their dedication to the preservation and promotion of the breed and have proven themselves--IMO, the accomplishement of becoming a YTCA member is very big honor. Last edited by BamaFan121s; 06-30-2008 at 09:26 AM. |
