  The YTCA question although a good one, not really necessary, not all good breeders belong to the club.  It's a matter of choice, but very difficult to become a member.  It consists mostely of exhibitor/breeders or those that have retired from showing, with a few pet owners.  And most of the time one has to be invited to become a member, so if one doesn't show, you haven't had the opportunity to network and be sponsored by existing members. 
But do a google search on how to find a good breeder.  I've stated over and over you buy your breeder first then your puppy.
