Are the YTCA and AKC closed, guarded groups or open to the general public? |
YTCA is a pretty closed group and you pretty much have to be invited......it is comprised of members across the country, comprised of breeder/exhibitors. Pretty difficult to get into. It's not all about showing dogs.....it's about canine responsibility, health, welfare, medical research, pet owner/breeder legislation.
AKC is open but, to be a member, you probably have to be a breeder/handler and follow their rules and regulations.
