you obviously didn't read my post...the chip in my friend's dog was an AVID chip...as are the chips in all her dogs... chips she'd purchased and which should have been registered to her ... this one was not. I thought people who chipped their dogs might be interested and want to check on the registrations of their own chips. Obviously not. Next time I have information that I think will be interesting and perhaps helpful to people, I wont bother sharing it.
