The breeder had Puddin' microchipped before he delivered her to us. The company provides a tag to put on the collar or harness that indicates she is chipped, but he warned against using it because thieves here have been known to dognap dogs wearing the tags and hold them for ransom! Seems the logic is that if the dog is chipped, it must be valuable, therefore worth stealing...and those tags (cream-coloured plastic here) advertise the dog is chipped.
Puddin' and Candy are chipped but the only tags they wear is a brass heart with their name on one side and my phone number on the other, just like the two senior doggies. I'm not taking any chances with any of my babies! |
