I do know that people talk about such privately, and of course that's fine. But my general understanding is that we don't mention breeders' names here.
It is obviously fine to acknowledge that a person is a breeder—acknowledgement of profession is not tantamount to a solicitation for business—but I believe the line here is between "I am an X" and "Anyone want to buy my dogs?" (Also, I'm pretty sure that reputable breeders don't have to advertise their dogs or litters—to the contrary, most are exceedingly selective and have considerable wait lists!)
(But this was obviously just a innocent mistake, and I'm sure was recognized as such.)
