It's a little of the themes brought up in pedigree dogs exposed which ran in the UK a couple years ago. Despite some of the disdain I have for some of the title policies in AKC I still prefer their registry vs the other American options. In my eyes the purpose of the registry is a little like the Dept of Licensing. They just confirm that the dogs indicated are descended from the ones indicated, rather than a statement of quality, health, or even confirmation to the standard. As far as registries being opened or closed it is usually the decision of the parent club. Insert your own conclusion to this policy here because you have to be strong of will to collectively be willing to call your baby ugly, disease bearing, or terminally inbred.
For instance the basenji stud book is currently open until Dec 2013 and has a 10 step process for joining the stud book. I understand that this is an effort to improve breed health through imports of unpedigreed dogs from the Congo.
