To be honest I have stated over and over again the ytca should police their own, before they worry about the non ytca members. Because I know for a fact they are not all ethical! |
What does testing have to do with YTCA? CHIC is the Canine Health Information Center. OFA is the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. Neither are in any way affiliated with YTCA. And of all the yorkie litters born each year YTCA breeders are responsible for a very small percentage. It would be great if every YTCA member had a CHIC number for each dog they bred. But to sit back and say non YTCA members don't have to test is another reason this breed is in such trouble.
