I personally would judge this on a case by case basis. I like to see a confirmation title on both parents. It just shows that the breeder cares enough to put the time and money into their dog, as well as that the dog is to standard and of a quality to title. Having said that, I also like to hear how long it took the dog to title. If it took a year and titled point by point that might say something about it... Not every dog that is titled is of a good quality!
Anyway, I would want at least one of the parents to be fully titled. If the other only had points, I would ask why? As I prefer to go to breeders who don't breed full time, I can see if they weren't able to attend as many confirmation shows as they'd like etc. It's personal preference, but I'd rather go to a breeder who doesn't circuit their dog out with a handler to get their championship.
So there would be a lot of variables for me, but breeding a pointed only dog would not be an immediate dealbreaker... If, however, I saw a breeder who routinely gets one or two points on their dogs then gives up and breeds them then I would probably cross them off the list.
