The same 'perks' can be achieved w/out a registry. I agree with you...every registry has unethical breeders. (I've tried to make that point so many times that I'm blue in the face!) My point is...why be one of them. Half of them are unethical because they registered a dog as a 'purebred' without any proof. Why be like that. If you don't have the papers saying the dog is all Yorkie, you don't have them. That's the breaks. You don't 'fix' the problem by reg them with another registry that doesn't care, you just add to the problem.
