My big departure from YTCA is that I would not automatically spay/neuter an otherwise excellent pair that produced a brown, parti, or other non-standard color. Nor would I would keep a great looking, healthy carrier out of the ring. Since my breeding dogs are exclusively for my use, not for sale or stud, I am taking a more liberal position with regards to color. Therefore, I cannot belong to YTCA.
By the way, I often refer people to the YTCA directory as the place one will most likely find a good breeder, hoping one day YTCEHB becomes big enough to be a good resource too. |
Well for me it I would spay/neuter and take out of my breeding program because the standard does not call for those off colors so therefore I wouldn't breed it again. Just like I wouldn't breed a yorkie with a bad bite even though it has good structure. There are major faults I can't live with even if that was the only fault my dog had.
