Why does my dog need to have been shown, and have won titles to be worthy to be bred? Just because 1 car wins a car show, doesn't mean the rest are junk.
How do you know your dog is worthy of being bred? How do you know he conforms to the standard? If he's not shown, or titled, you have no idea. You need a third party to judge him, not just you. Just because you think he's a great dog (I'm not saying he's not a great PET) does NOT mean he's worthy of being bred and producing puppies. Do you know if he carries a recessive gene for heart problems? Eye problems?

You can't even compare cars to dogs. Cars are MANUFACTURED IN A FACTORY, DOGS ARE LIVING CREATURES! Dogs are not produced the same way so it's apples and oranges.
