To start with let me preface this with as a Canadian, my dogs are registered with CKC (equivilent to AKC)...and they are pets so; I don't care per se, but my breeder registered Georgie and then I received her paperwork afterwards. Georgie's microchip is also CKC registered, so that if she got found and someone called the CKC, they would be able to direct them to me. When I rescued Charlee, I had her owner surrendered papers including her CKC papers so I was able to call the CKC and have her listed as now living with me. Because she came through rescue and not directly to me from her owner apparently I can't be listed as her new "owner"...however; she is tagged to me and my address if she ever turns up after being lost...Which reminds me, I'm moving and better add them (CKC) to my list of "change of address" information! |
