Gemy definitely answered your question and then some. If I remember the thread correctly, I believe the issue there was acquiring dogs from a certain lineage through "the back door" just so the produced puppies can then be advertised as having "such and such" in their background. In other words, one does not just go out there, pay $$$$$$$$$ for a dog with X, Y, and Z in their background and commence breeding. In order to really earn the right to have a pedigree stock, a person must first earn the trust from the owner of said background. Like gemy said, you study at he mentor's feet for a while, learning before the owning and breeding part actually happens.
