Yes, there is a % pet owner members in the YTCA. One does not have to be a breeder/exhibitor to qualify for membership. We also, have members that only work rescue, or pet legislation and have never bred before and/or not even owned pet. The membership is open to anyone that is willing to comply with what the mother club stands for and it's not about dog showing.
As matter of fact we would love to recruit people such Nancy. These people have the welfare of the breed at heart and are willing to do something about it.
