Actually, I think this topic is really about this

"Quite often I see someone making reference to so and so as being a "YTCA breeder." I'm curious as to what that means to various people. "

Seemingly in response to recommendations for area breeders made by YT members on the New England regional forum.

But my point, and VERY RELEVANT to genetics and breeding is that breeders who depart from the standard may do so with good intentions, but it's the slippery slope - what else besides tails and nails and color will breeders alter? I wish they would think about the end result more, hence my references to high costs of veterinary care for poorly bred dogs. And I can assure you, I've spent tens of thousands.
