Not really. Depends a lot on how you define 'discovery'.
Heredity was known by farmers and breeders for a long time.
What Mendel specifically discovered was essentially genetics, i.e. the effect of genes and dominant and recessive genes, as well as a study on the actual numbers related to them (which percentage of the offspring would inherit what characteristics).
So he probably did the first significant scientific study of heredity, but didn't discover it.
He performed artificial pollination with pea plants.
He was a monk who experimented with peas and the experiments were based on heredity. Now he was as you call "breeding" pea plants and sought to find a pattern.
Gregor Mendel
Genetisist is a scientist who studies Heredity.
Yes, they did.
Gregor Mendel was the father of heredity. His experiments with pea plants established principles of dominance and recessiveness in phenotypic variation.
Gregor Mendel studied heredity because he was impressed with the work of Frank Unger, a biologist. The view of inheritance which was practical and not bound by spiritual practices attracted Gregor. Gregor carried out practical biological experiments related to plants later.
Gregor Mendel was the discover of heredity.

he discovered heredity and inheritance
His name was not Mendel Gregor, but his name was actually Gregor Mendel. He invented a law of heredity and genetics known as Mendel's Laws of Heredity. Do YOU like me?
He was a monk, studying to be a teacher? maybe.
