To me there is more to the standard than just a pretty yorkie with a nice conformation! Just because a yorkie meets the standard by their coloring and conformation it does not mean they are a healthy example of the breed. I do personally know of ytca members who are not reputable or have no morals, but yet they have say in what happens with this breed. I know of more parti breeders and biewers breeders who do the proper testing before they ever breed a litter of puppies or walk into a show ring with their show prospect! So closed minded yes! |
I think I and Mardlin have stated many times there are bad and good in every aspect of any kind of membership and non membership clubs LOL...I personally believe health is of the utmost importance in this breed then comes everything else and so does many other "YTCA" members. Just because there are a few bad apples doesn't mean the whole is bad...just like with Parti breeders or Biewer breeders or Pug breeders or Basset hound breeders or Poodle breeders or mutt breeders the list goes on there are bad apples in every catagory so what you are saying is not flying with your accussations that the YTCA is closed minded....again get over it and move on
