I have gotten many calls in the past 2 years from buyers of puppies in pet shops. I have heard these "They told me it was AKC but the papers they gave me said it was AKC-CPR.. That means it is AKC right? Not the other regs?" Well, NO IT DOES NOT! It means that your dog is microchipped and the you can register thechip in your name with the companion recovery center.. Duh, whassat?
In the pet stores here in my area, more and more pups are reg with ACA..with the microchip application given the most explanation..
There is no doggie police, only registries. What we need to do is educate, educate, educate, even when we are not asked.. |
