I know these questions were rhetorical, but:
Is it ETHICAL to breed a dog that has recently torsioned?  No
Is it ETHICAL to breed a dog that has produced Mega in more than one litter? 
No
Is it ETHICAL to breed a dog that can't pass OFA? No
Is it ETHICAL to breed a dog so afraid of its own shadow it wets itself when 
confronted?  No
Or so aggressive it has to be held in a strangle hold to keep it from biting 
the judge? No
Or do NUMBERS make one ETHICAL (or not)? Yes and no.  When you get to the 
point that the dogs are going kennel mad because you've got too many, but 
you're 
deadset on finishing a crapload of em...yeah, then IMO you're unethical.  Dogs 
are living beings.  They're not around to stroke our egos.
And if you get into numbers.... who is going to set the "limit" on what makes 
you "ethical"?? Your own self should, but there don't seem to be many that 
do, IMO.
