If I owned the bitch in question, I'd breed her to the best dog for her no matter who owned it. The situation changes on the stud dog side of things. In you question, why don't I "like" the bitch owner? I don't "dislike" people for arbitrary reasons. If my dislike stems from my own personal knowledge (not hearsay), of how they care for their dogs or their disregard for health issues or the placement of their puppies or how they treat others in the fancy then I don't care if the bitch walks on water, I'd say "no".
