You can make a complaint but the offense has to be documented and committed at an event. Words are hearsay.
I hope this helps answer your question.

And let me add this...only a YTCA member can make a complaint about another member to the board. Anyone outside the YTCA membership can not make a valid complaint.
AKC could be another story but as I posted above the act has to be committed at the show with proof. Again, words are hearsay, even if written it's not backed and it wasn't an infraction at an AKC sanctioned show.
