Just to remind everyone that it is important: I had Conley chipped the other day,and because I have so many dogs registered with AVID, it was free to register Conley.<br>He is now identified in an unalterable way. No matter what someone says or does, I can prove that Conley is Conley and that he is mine. I don't care what company you use but I believe in microchips. He is inexpressibly valuable to me, as are all my dogs and they are all chipped and all registered. Remember if you chip a dog to follow up with the registration with the company. I cannot tell you how many times I have called Home Again or Avid with high hopes and a stray dog only to find that no one bothered to file the number with the company.<br>
Years ago I had a good friend tattoo her dog(it was before chips & mine were also tattooed) and she called me maybe 6 mos after it had been done and said "Who will know what this tattoo means?" and I said, well, the NDR (National Dog Registry) with whom you registered the tattoo. Oh....you have to REGISTER IT??? Uh...yeah, otherwise it is a meaningless thing. The same is true for chips. If you do not register with the chip company, all you get when you scan the dog is a meaningless chip number that comes back to nothing.<br>
CHIP YOUR DOGS and send in the paperwork & money. It is well worth it.<br><br>MomPerson who does not own stock in Avid.<br><br>
