Most people will tell you to contact the breeders on the YTCA website and that is a good start. But you can also go to the AKC website and do a search for a conformation or specialty club in your state. Those people have breeder referral contact people that can give you names of reputable breeders. Anyone that is involved in the YTCA is also a member of a local conformation or specialty club. The roots of good breeding start in the local clubs. Here is a link.

There are bad apples even in the show circuit so always get good references and check everyone out. Find out what questions to ask so you don't go into anything blind.
