Obviously I am a big fan of microchips and no dog whether its a puppy I bred or a dog I rescue leaves here without one. Good for you! I've bought directly AND I've had dogs done by the vet but w/ the ones done by the vet, rather than have the registration of that particular chip stay with the vet that purchased the chip, I send in the registration form. Our club recently did a clinic and in addition to the giving the people their slips to send in (there is a small fee) one of our members had to agree to keep corresponding info cards on file, so if the registration isn't changed to the owner, she'll get the call and be able to match the chip # to the card. Easy really, and the literature that comes with all the chips is self explanatory.
