I read it. Perhaps you aren't familiar with how it all works (Avid OR
HomeAgain...and now the new "Friend" chip).
When a person has a dog chipped at the vet or a clinic they receive a
registration slip and, following the directions, they complete the address
section,
(in some cases they provide additional emergency #s) so that the dog's chip
is registered to THEM. (There is a small fee to do this.)
If a person doesn't do that, forgets to change the registration or for some
silly reason chooses not to, the chip remains registered to the original
purchaser (in your friend's case, apparently the vet who purchased the chips in
bulk). There's no "should have" as you write, unless the lady who owned her
cavalier "should have" sent in the paperwork to the chip manufacturer to
register the chip to her location. The vet doesn't do this, the micro-chip
clinic
doesn't do this; there is a separate form completed by the owner of the dog
with a separate small fee sent to the chip registry. (Of course, you would
update this when you move, again, there would be another small fee paid to
either registry to update).
When breeders buy directly from the companies, usually in bulk, the entire
purchase is registered to them. If breeders then sell chipped dogs, unless the
new owner changes the registration, the dog remains registered (in the chip
company's data base) to the breeder, the original purchaser of the chips.
Simple really.... And anyone who has been through the chipping process,
either Avid or HomeAgain probably drew the same conclusion I did when reading
about the lady that lost then found her Cavalier; that she either neglected to
register the chip to her name and location or didn't update her information if
she moved.
