They can try, just not with that breeder's dogs. There are many people out there willing to mentor, you just need to find the right one and think longterm. When you prove your worth to your mentor, maybe the other breeder would be more willing to give you a puppy on open registration.
You definitely can say you only sell limited. Can you imagine how many emails you would get daily from people who think they have "what it takes" and don't know a topline from a brisket? Don't know what a stop should look like or how leg feathering should look? Or how to pottytrain? (I'm so serious unfortunately.) If someone approaches you looking for a limited puppy and you're super impressed, then you might offer them open on your terms. For a busy breeder, mentoring can be harder than it's worth sometimes and I wouldn't want people asking me to do it every five minutes.
