I believe the etiquette is that if you performed a good faith search for the breeder, and could not find him/her, then naming it would be appropriate. I'm sure this policy is not always adhered to...

Correct. When you can't reach the originator (term used by the RHS), you should indicate in the application what you have tried to reach them.
