Default Dart Frog "Pure Breed Line" Registry

I've posted before with minimal response.
With the growing popularity of keeping Dart Frogs, the potential for mixing blood lines is drastically increasing. It is very important for "keepers" to keep strict blood lines. Maybe I'm ignorant to current record keeping but I have not found any way of registering "pure breeds" (thinking of current AKC for dog pure breed registry).
What better way for a Dart Frog enthusiast to make their mark in the dart frog world to formulate a World recognized Dart Frog pure blood line registry.
There are many keepers far more knowledgeable than I, somebody from this forum should take on the responsibility! (It could lead to a full time career!)
Just my thoughts....
I personally don't have a problem with keepers keeping multiple morph tanks as long as any potential off spring produced are given away/sold as mixed morph frogs.
It's obvious ( based on the number of mixed morph housing questions on all Dart Frog Forums) that keepers want mixed morph tanks. There is no problem with people breeding a German Shepard Dog with a Boxer. If somebody choses to breed the two together, they can't sell them as pure breed German Shepard Dogs or Boxers. The puppies can still be sold as mixed breed and surely, there would be a buyer.
I believe it is "ignorant" for people to think Dart Frog keepers will simply keep pure breeds from peer pressure from "Best Practice Breeding" pressure from these forums.
Again, these are just my thoughts. I know I will be bashed for this post but I think it is something that needs to be addressed by the Dart Frog Community.
