Ethical breeders don't automatically give breeding rights, they know only certain dogs should be bred, and they believe you need education before you start breeding. If you are looking to breed in the future, many people think it's best to find a mentor.
Yah -what she said

as a long time breeder ( nearly 50 years with 2 breeds ) i can tell you that anything other than AKC ( AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB ) is not worth more than the paper its written on.
