I'm a YTCA member that breeds "very" little. I haven't had a litter in 3 years and I know members that breed very little as well. Of course your going to have members of any club that are bad apples. I think many have stated that multiple times and here I say it again. One that belongs to the YTCA should be breeding for the betterment of the breed! It's simple as that but I can only speak for myself and not others. Once again, every organization will have those bad apples...
If one has a brown puppy, parti puppy, golden puppy ect...should spay/neuter and place into a pet home and spay/neuter that breeding pair that produced it ( I know that's what I would do with NO hesitation ). Of course if you know your pedigrees backward and forward you shouldn't be breeding those colors or producing them but of course anything can pop up in a litter. It's what one does with it is the question and morals and ethics...
I know some breeders that do breed and don't show but it's way after they've had their time in the ring and they do provide others in the YTCA with their bloodlines to keep it going with the understanding and trust and put them in the show ring. Then I know YTCA members that show their dogs and after they obtain their championship, spay/neuter and place into pet homes and never breed them because they have stopped breeding. I personally would love to just buy my show dog and show them and then leave the breeding to someone else as I prefer the show ring vs. the whelping box but unfortunately for me I have to breed on occassion to produce that show dog for myself and remember not every litter will produce a show dog. If I had the money I'd just buy a show dog, show it, finish it and spay/neuter them and place them in pet homes.
I always say the YTCA is a starting place and research your breeder thoroughly and that breeder will become your family for life, as you, as a breeder are entrusting your little one to someone else. Breeding and showing in my opinion does go hand in hand and should. I'll say again, it's all about morals, ethics and responsiblity.
