No, that makes them a responsible stud dog owner. The person who breeds to
that stud dog is responsible for the litter, whelps the litter, finds homes
for the puppies and is who decided to do the breeding. That makes that person
the breeder. The stud dog owner can refuse to breed his or her stud dog to a
bitch, that makes him or her a responsible stud dog owner, not a breeder.
It is similar, (shut up Paul) to calling a sperm donor a Father. While the
stud dog owner is responsible for allowing bitches to be bred to his or her
dog, they are not responsible for the litter, what happens to the puppies or
what is shown from the litter. That is why a stud dog owner is not an
exhibitor, or a breeder.
The AKC requires litters or champions to be bred by a person before they are
licensed to judge. That is in recognition that owning a stud dog does not
make you a breeder. It does carry responsibility to the breed, that should not
be abrogated or denied.
But, you cannot stand a dog at stud and then call yourself a breeder. Well,
actually you can, but you also can stand a dog at stud and call yourself a
genius. It does not make it true.
