Sorry but your Dad is right it is the law in every state and you could get a fine IF they catch you but it will not interfere with you getting your little one microchipped. If you decide not to register your dog you had better make sure though that you have had your rabies shots.

An advantage it does have if you register your little one is to put the tag on his harness as a means of ID - many dogs have been returned to the owners with ID number on the tag. Not all animal control, shelters or vets carry the same microchip reader and the ID tag would be your only means of identification. Not sure if it could help if someone stole your little one to have him registered or not.
