There are some registries that actually HAVE implemented this type of program, even that allow the breeders to place the dogs with official limited registration, but then they turn around and shoot themselves in the foot by allowing the dog to be registered without using the pedigree, so it is pointless in that aspect. It does wonders to help a prospective buyer select a breeder that has to meet certain requirements regarding kennel standards and health screening, but still doesn't provide any benefits to the breeder and the dog.
