i think a Championship title can mean that you have a very nice dog conformationaly. it CAN. it doesn't always. i have seen so many sibes and danes that have CH titles, but they don't have good conformation. sometimes it takes YEARS for a dog with great conformation to get it's Championship. it all depends on the owner, judges, the amount of dogs you compete against and your dog. if you have terrible handling skills and did a bad job grooming it doesn't matter how good the dog's conformation is. you more than likely won't place. the way you present the dog makes a world of difference. just by stacking the dog wrong you can make minor faults more visible and make it look like there are faults that aren't really there. if you handle and groom the dog well you can make a terrible dog look good in the show ring.
as for breeding i think it looks better if the pups come from CH parents. but it's not a must have. it can be hard to finish some breeds. maybe the dog is an odd color for the breed, but still showable. a lot of judges won't put up a white or pie bald siberian husky. because of it's color pattern. the dog has a harder time finishing. i think that if the dog has good conformation, temperment, passed all of the genetic tests, etc it would be ok to breed the dog.
