As long as there are no ethical issues with the person who owns the stud dog (ie. puppy miller, etc), I can get past just about anybody if I want to breed to their dog... It's my breeding program, my goals, and I am only breeding to the stud dog, not his owner. Besides, you have to get along if you breed to the dog because you need your paperwork signed. As for accepting bitches, that's a tough call.... But like I said above, as long as there are not ethical issues involved, I would consider the bitch...
