I do remember now that I talked to at least 4 or 5 of these that are listed when we were searching for Tatum but the ones that were within reasonable driving distance for us did not have any available pups (specifically, females). AND a couple of them were actually quite rude when I called them. Wouldn't hurt for the OP to try contacting them though. Maybe she'll have better luck.

Just out of curiosity again..... what exactly makes these people better than other breeders? What are the qualifications for being in the YTCA and how can we be so sure that these people are more trustworthy than other breeders?

I have met a few of these TX YTCA breeders, and I have friends with dogs from a few of them. I know one or two in the Houston are that I have heard WONDERFUL things about from a good friend of mine, and I would definitely consider buying from them. You are correct that they don't have puppies available often. I don't want to mention any names on a public forum either, but if you PM me I'll be glad to share the names of the breeders I've heard great things about.
