Keeping in mind that Elaine asked about this breeder and never contacted her, but investigated and made a few inquiries with other YTCA members, it was taken forward. Elaine did not file a complaint but, members took the required steps to insure proper investigation. |
According to this post below she did contact the YTCA breeder. The club may call it a "code of conduct/ethics" but I don't think it's very ethical for one of their members to try to sell a pup like this and get away with it (and if the club keeps it secret they do get away with it). How is the general public to know the breeder was dealt with through the club if their code of conduct doesn't allow revealing a bad breeders name? How can anyone recommend starting with the YTCA for a breeder referral if the YTCA is involved in covering up for bad breeders?

So, I don't care about all the clubs they belong to. When the $$ is involved I think there are few that care much beyond that.
