I personally think the idea of YTCEHB is a great idea!
I have recently been considering where I fall as a breeder. I'm not seasoned enough to even think about YTCA, or to consider showing. Yet I don't want to be left out there to be lumped in with other breeders who may or may not be caring breeders.
With so many raids going on recently, there is concern that AKC registration is not enough to prove your ethics as a breeder.
I have really been struggling with this feeling of not knowing where I belong. There is a large group of breeders (not large enough) that are ethical as well as up hold AKC standards that may never be YTCA or Show breeders. Yet these breeders still give us beautiful pets to love raised under foot in loving homes.
These breeders should be recognized. |
