We were also advised to have our own personal details on a separate tag, 
because it may be that the dog has just wandered into the garden opposite, so 
if the address is in the same road, the dog can be returned far more quickly, 
and without all the hassle of involving GDBA at all.

Nadine,

I've just thought, which I wasn't doing earlier! The dog also wears an ID disc 
on his collar, and that has his name and ID number on as well. Guide Dogs let 
me have a few spare ones when we qualified, so I could have several collars 
with these attached.

Vince.

  We have an ID card same as you by the sound of it. Guide Dog qualification ID 
number is on medallion on collar. Microchip number is not used for daily ID, 
only medical or passport boundary travel documentation. 



  Quartz details engraved on metal medallion keeps wearing off. Is he trying to 
go awol or retire early, perhaps just a manufacturing flaw?

    Nadine, in the UK we have ID cards, the size of a credit card, with a photo 
of the owner, but not the dog, and the dog's ID number, and not the owner's.





    The ID number will be on the dog's microchip as well.

      In ROI our dogs have a medallion for ID and seal of approval working
      status. What do other countries have?
