If a memeber from YTCA refers you to another member they are a broker.
I have a dear friend in Kentucky who raises Yorkies- If someone calls her and she does not have what that person is looking for- she will have them call me- I do the same for her. We share the same thoughts, Ideas and values
she is 70 years old and has been a Godsend for me. I can be honnest with her and she will listen to what I am saying- if I may not be thinking things through clearly she is there to be open, fair and give good advice. It may not be what I want to hear- but I get it fair and balanced. Do we give each other a commision no- we just care about each other. If she wants to use a male of mine it's hers to use. She does not show- if she has a show puppy that she really likes - she has gave them to me and said have fun kid.
So I guess that Clara and I are brokers.
All breeders have bought a dog that they thought would fit into their program and for some reason it did not work out as planned and you have resold this puppy/adult. Does this make you a broker?
Why are we so obsessed with putting a title on a person that could be quite harmful.

I have to disagree... if a YTCA member refers me to another member, its a refererral. If someone posts about an ad in the paper, then I would just call that sharing info. When I say "broker" I am talking about someone that is selling pups that they bought from a breeder or puppy mill for a lowe price and then turns right around and puts a high price tag or a commission on that puppy's head... like I stated earlier... IMO a broker is someone that's sole concern is the almighty dollar! And I have a problem with that!
