I'm not a member of the YTCA, I only endorse what they are trying to accomplish. I'm curious as to those threads you mention. Are you sure YTCA member admitted doing this or was this something a "show" breeder did. So many people think, just because a person is a show breeder they are also a member of the YTCA, and this is usually not the case. Anyone can call himself or herself a "show" breeder, and their motives for showing can vary greatly. I've read many times how show breeders do various things to manipulate the look, and handlers are often accused of doing things too. As one breeder said in the past, any breeder who is doing this is only fooling themselves, the goal should not only be to produce a great dog who is a wonderful and healthy example of the breed, but one who also is capable of producing wonderful healthy examples of the breed. If they cheated on the first dog, they are not adding anything valuable to their lines, and they are just cheating themselves.
By the way, the YTCA website says:
