Cartel? As posted in the General Discussion forum, you have to evaluate everything about a breeder. The YTCA people I've met seem to be in a tightly knit group of old timers and not very welcoming of new members. This may vary somewhat by geographic region. Some of us who are not politically or socially inclined choose to concentrate on our dogs instead of jockeying for sponsorship in this club that sees itself as kind of superior. |
