Well then good luck
I'm sorry you don't follow the YTCA code of conduct or code of ethics whether you register AKC or not....I'm sorry if I offend you but I see red flags if you don't health test....I've health tested a breeding bitch and have had a health problem arise even when the tests on the bitch and sire were normal and all of the puppies were healthy until one turned out unhealthy so of course I did the right thing and spayed/neutered everyting that was produced even the sire and bitch and took care of the sick puppy and gave and yes "gave" her to a special loving home after a VERY expensive surgery and all out of my pocket....so honey you just never know without health testing especially if you sell to the public. You shouldn't be breeding under 5 pounds so another red flag JMHO
ACA and CKC will register anything not to say they are bad registries but oh well you get the point. I guess since I don't breed just for pets I just don't get why you don't health test since Liver Shunt is so pervalent in this breed....
