I think if there is any thought that there might be health issues that should not be passed on, yes, the breeder should s/n before allowing the puppy to leave. If it is just a matter of the breeder not yet determining if the puppy is of show/breeding quality .... well, then I think the limited registrations are the way to go. That way the owner can always go back to the breeder and ask them to reconsider opening the registrations to full. The breeder would probably decide based on the dog's qualities and the new owner's knowledge, ethics and attitude.
So, I guess I would answer your question with "no" I would not blame the breeder, unless the pup had a physical reason for needing s/n.
