Good starting place but be as careful as you would with any other breeder. Just because they are a YTCA member doesn't automatically mean they do any health screening (besides basic vet care). Ask about bile acid testing, blood chem panels, eyes checked (CERF), patellas checked (OFA)...some even test and OFA hips, heart, and thyroid
