I am not fond of "breed clubs" who only allow into the club, a selected group of people - though there are a lot of AKC "breed clubs" that only allow invited and approved members not just YTCA. I feel that if you want to join a "breed club", it should be open to all who want to join (in the horse world that's how it works, at least with the breeds that I've owned).
Since the YTCA is a "Breed Club," I feel that offspring who are born from purebred parents, should have as much of a right to their breed heritage, as those who are "correctly colored" (according to the standards).
A purebred is a purebred ... period! Or maybe I'm wrong ... is a purebred only a purebred if they meet the breed clubs standards?
