It depends on many things. The resources and experiences. Breeding isn't required as a fancier. Some find it to be a natural progression. It can be joyful. But egads! Breeding can be quite painful. 10 years if ever is a good way to view it.
I have a different take keeping a relationship with the bad breeder. I feel like if they have poor ethics keeping any ties with them may be stopping you from having ties with good people. The old saying "birds of a feather flock together" or "we are judged by the company we keep". This person may be stopping the right person from meeting you because they may see you as having her ethics. Being new you may not think others know her when they probably know what she is all. This is true for the quality of her dogs. I'm not saying you don't know a bad dog from the standard. I'm just saying that being new you could be missing some things that you would see different as an experienced person. Maybe you will feel different about the breeding after outside influences as well.
Not sure how taboo it is to sell unregistered dogs in Ireland. But IMO it's muddy. I would not want to breed to anyone with ethics like this. Something better will come along. You don't want to be labeled as part of her. Parting ways isn't burning bridges. Make things appear that it's not combative in the best manner possible.
