I do not like the flowchart because it's very patronizing, and some statements are questionable.

To me it makes more sense to say, if you are using a random flowchart on the Internet to decide whether to breed your dog, you should not breed your dog.

I think a good, responsible breeder will (or should) know if their dog is worth breeding IMHO. They don't have to ask strangers on the internet if it's a good idea.
