Yes, it's open.......that's because it is meant to be inclusive, rather than exclusive...........and for the life of me, I can't see a problem with it...all people do is post pictures of their dogs, brag about accomplishments, etc...there has been NO discussion, no fighting, no nasty comments.........and no accusations.......... guess that's too easy for some people to understand.
