I'm sorry but I think you underestimate the HUGE mental difference between two breeding cultures: the FCI and... I don't know how to call it... British (?).
1. If a breeder breeding under FCI recognized KC has even
one mix bred litter and
sells it, he loses breeding rights for good, no matter how much he wants to get things right afterwards. This is a major crime against regulations and breeder ethics and such person is
persona non grata among honest breeders.
2. If an accident happens (things happen even in best FCI kennels) and there is an
unwanted mix-bred litter, a responisble breeder
gives away the pups to good people and makes sure the dogs are neutered asap. Not to mention that he'd never boast about it on his/her webpage, becasue this would put his reputation at risk.
3. If a dishonest breeder consciously mix-breeds he usually tries to issue fake FCI pedigrees and when this is found out- he loses his reliablity and sells later only to puppy mills and ignorant owners who don't know what they're buying. If this is proved - look at point 1.
Once the British "pup manufacturers" (sorry for this expression, but for me a
breeder is somebody who is a purity guarant of a particular breed), who keep producing mix-bred litters understand how they're percieved among the solid CSV breeders they will finally understand
why they may only trade with puppy mills whose owners don't care what happens later to their "kids". No wonder caring breeders don't want to sell them good quality pups - they value their own work and efforts too much to have it wasted or risk their pups will be used for non-ethical (in their justified perception) breeding.
