I don't understand why every time the YTCA is mentioned there has to be a full-blown discussion. While the YTCA is not a 100% guarantee, the probability that you will find a bad breeder by contacting a YTCA member is a lot lower than if you just search the internet haphazardly. For someone who is completely new to looking for a Yorkie breeder, the YTCA offers a great information shortcut, which allows someone who is new acquire a lot of good information in one place. Yes, it is important to do a lot of research before finding a new companion, and yes it is important to thoroughly search for a good breeder, but if the OP does not know what to look for, it is a lot easier to contact a YTCA member who will more likely than not serve to educate him on a yorkie. That's what happened to me when I contacted a YTCA member. I spent an hour on the phone with her and learned A LOT. Everything she said (as well as information here) helped me on my path to finding the right breeder for me, however that path started with that one YTCA member.
