It's also sad that a few only belong to the YTCA so they can be listed in the breeder referral. Is that the case of the friend you mentioned? |
Actually, I think this topic is really about this "Quite often I see someone making reference to so and so as being a "YTCA breeder." I'm curious as to what that means to various people. " Seemingly in response to recommendations for area breeders made by YT members on the New England regional forum. But my point, and VERY RELEVANT to genetics and breeding is that breeders who depart from the standard may do so with good intentions, but it's the slippery slope - what else besides tails and nails and color will breeders alter? I wish they would think about the end result more, hence my references to high costs of veterinary care for poorly bred dogs. And I can assure you, I've spent tens of thousands. |
hmmm.... all I can say is that my investment in the past five years in saving yorkies that were poorly bred and/or poorly placed in homes that had no knowledge of the breed and/or the funds to care properly for the genetic and/or other expensive medical problems that cropped up would have paid for some mighty fine vacations! |

In the itinal post it was asked about the "betterment of the breed" and lots of other things asked regarding YTCA members and I believe that tails, off colors ect...is answering questions about the "BETTERMENT" of the breed and what steps we take as a member to "BETTER" the breed :) I guess some of us didn't answer what you might have wanted to hear and I do believe we've stayed on topic and the purpose of this thread with no one getting into a "snit" LOL... If one doesn't want to purchase from a YTCA member that is their choice, it really doesn't matter to me if and where you purchase your dog. It's when one comes back and starts asking why the health issues are coming up and why my dog is sick after we have tried to direct you in the "right" direction because you didn't want to hear it, it gets alittle frustrating but "alas" we are here to help and try and fix or stir you in the direction you need to go and cry with one that has that sick pup, or stay up anxiously waiting on word to make sure that dog is ok....Hmmm sounds like we still care and devote even more time in educating. I hope that made sense.. Donna |
