I understand that Featured breeds do have to pay a yearly fee, in addition to being a donating member and Yorkietalk says this about them:
Quote:
Featured YT Breeders must be Donating Members first before they can be a Featured YT Breeders. We require Featured YT Breeders to offer a one-year health guarantee. The health guarantees and the Yorkie selling contract must be viewable by any potential buyers. To be a Featured YT Breeder, a member must be a member of YorkieTalk for at least three months before they may be a Featured YT Breeder.
We require YT Featured Breeders to have at least one year experience breeding Yorkies, or have personally handled at least two previous Yorkie litters already before they can join the program.

So basically that just means that they have to have been a breeder for a year or have seen two litters being born. They have to offer a 1 year health guarantee, and the guarantee has to be seen in writing on their web sites, but that isn't near enough for me. Just think back about some of the new "breeders" who joined YorkieTalk a year ago, they are now eligible to become "featured breeders. I'm just saying that when I read the" requirements" to become a featured breeder, I was shocked. I had the impression, it meant something much more.
