Is there a chart somewhere for badge standards? I often don’t know what qualifies for silver vs a gold one...
Also, in my head canon, badly behaved badged yukkuris must come from a shady dealer or bad testers or something. What’s the point of having a badge system when they all act like gutter trash? It’s just annoying

aglet has a set of stories about Mister being a breeder that will explain (most of) the question about the badge system.

Eh, people are still debating about this one so we still don't know whether this is Patchy's fault or not. Also, shitty but smart pet is a thing, I remember there are some pools about yu that has a gold badge but still think that humans are a slave to it or do not act like a "gold" pet at all, here is one of them: post #80792
I think main problem with badged yukkuri of any badge is that their owners will spoil them. Stuff like sweet-sweets should be rewards for good behavior, not something you just give away casually. Just because they're badged doesn't mean that they will unconditionally obey you. When you spoil yukkuris they'll eventually think that the owner loves them so much that they'll get away with anything, thinking that their owner can take it easy if themselves are also taking it easy. This leads to them doing stuff that makes them easy and assuming that it will also automatically make the owner take it easy. Example: Refreshing without permission, they see little ones as making them easy and therefore believes that their owner will also be easy by their existance. This work is another example, it's clear that patchy has never been scolded before in her life.

This does bring back one of the moral questions about pet yukkuri: what is the point of keeping yukkuri as pet? Sure, they can talk, and maaaaaaaybe helping you around? And that's all. Bodied type or rare type (which has abilities to boost their utilities) maybe a better pet, but those are rare, so don't expect an average man can access them. Even then, a gold one might cost you a fortune, and it doesn't even come with an insurance to ensure that they will always be a good pet. Nagekiaki has a great post about the fundamental problems of pet yukkuri even if it's a gold one: post #22362. I did have a discussion with one of the translator, mister Reno (damn, I missed him) and we are all agree that pet yukkuri is a very bad choice, and Reimu type is the worst.

What a weird moral question. You keep yukkuris as a pet the same reason you keep any other pet animal, because you think they're cute. Stuff like cats and dogs can help you with stuff like killing pests and guarding your house but those are more of a bonus, most people keep them just because they like them. If you think they're irritating then just don't.

Those are really more of extreme cases potrayed by yu haters. Most gold badge and a good number of silvers can easily become a good pet with discipline. The reason there's lots of disobedient badged pets is people who doesn't care much about yus mostly just buy cheap pets, therefore the ones who's willing to buy silver or gold badges are usually yukkuri lovers. These people shower their pets with love, immediately giving them stuff like clothes, sweets, toys and such expecting that they will return the love. But this either makes them spoiled or they will want to return your love but because of the shower of pampering they end up believing that "if I'm easy then owner is easy" and do stuff that make themselves easy with the expectation of the owner will become easy too (most common example is refreshing without permission, notice how a lot of them say "if owner see how cute little ones are (s)he'll surely be able to take it easy too!").
You give them so-so food, a bed, and a toilet and that's it. Stuff like toys, sweets, and clothes should be reserved for rewards. If they make mistakes, discipline them instead of instakill. If they get angry at discipline then use harsher discipline, sometimes it's necessary to make sure they fear you. In several nicehead pet works I've seen, this is how you make them obedient.
As for the refreshing problem, just do what you'd do for real pets and castrate them. If it's a Reimu, there's a medicine made by factory-chan for whatever you would ever want to do to a yukkuri, surely an impotentcy-inducing medicine exists (in fact I vaguely remember a work with that scenario, an impotent Reimu who keeps failing to refresh with strays and proceed to not marry said strays believing the strays are the impotent ones).

Does that pool about anon who use factory stuff to stop Reimu's pregnancy? And then when he stop doing that, the paste that Reimu has collected suddenly start to impregnate her? Yeah, I remember something like that too, but unfortunately can't find it.
About the stuff you said, I agree, however, if a gold badge need discipline, that is not a good sign. You would expect gold badge to at least avoid any thing that is not appropriate to do in normal standard, and if it can't, well, better contact your lawyer. Furthermore, discipline and fear is a double-edge sword, sometimes it can be a great help, sometimes it's not. I think that if a gold-badge yukkuri made a mistake, instead of punishing it through physical wound, it's better to talk to it about it, because they're gold badge, so at least they are smart enough to listen to human's words, right? If they can't, well, sucks, you know that your pet is not a genuine gold pet.
Great...!Stop...Mukyu!?This is not Miiiiisss!!!Mukiiiii!!Mukyu...Greaaat...!That's...Patche's...This...
