I would say in our dying sport that anyone who breeds and keeps it alive and does thing with their dogs are A-OK in my book. As long as they treat the dogs good and find good homes for their pups,,,,,,I don't like backyard breeders though who just breed everything and anything just to make a buck. But responsible breeders are to be appreciated if they have one or ten litters.
