There are wonderful breeders out there who do not belong to YTCA and who have never showed a dog in thier life.
It is the human nature of man to want to place our trust and faith in those that according to that one list That Southern Cal posted should be a help to us due to their involvement in the breed. (The list desribed the classes of breeders.)
Remember that YTCA like AKC really does not become involved in a lot of issues concerning the purchase of your dog and problems. They will stand back and let you duke it out in the legal system when it comes to your dog and problems.
I would like to see the AKC take more of a stand on issues to help the person who has purchased a dog when problems arise. I also have deep feelings for the rights of the breeder. I have been on both sides and have seen firsthand how complicated situations can become.
I would stay away from the breeder you are talking about- it looks like a broker to me.
When friends work together- we state up front it is not our puppy on the website and who the baby belongs to. The red flags go up when I see all the diferent breeds.
I help my friends but only with Yorkies and no other breed. Most of us are now getting websites so I find that we are doing less of this all the time. There is no need. If someone calls and I do not have a puppy or do not have what they want I ask if they have checked out my friends websites and send
them there directly. |
