  1. So are ACD pups born white?

    They certainly are regardless of them being blue or red. It's said they are born white due to the Dalmatian in them.

    Got to do with the Merling Geen Same as the dalmation Unfortunatly also caries a deafness gene

  2. After reading the thread in the Rescue Forum about the dog that was chipped, but the details were very out of date and the original owners could not be contacted, I started to think about our old dog and his microchip details.

    We adopted him 10 years ago from the RSPCA in Adelaide and then took him back there to be desexed and microchipped a couple of weeks after adoption.

    Since he was microchipped we have moved interstate a couple of times. Each time we have moved we have registered the dog and his microchip details with the relevant council. However, we have misplaced his original microchipping paperwork and therefore do not know whom to contact to change details on whatever registry he was originally listed with.

    But should we be renewing his details with a national microchip registry?

    When your dog's chip is registered with your local council, can other nearby council's have access to the info so that if your dog is lost and is found in another council area would they be able to track you down, or would your dog languish in a pound until you were able to locate him/her? And if you are on vacation with your dog, and he wanders off, would the council ranger or pound in that locality be able to find your details on any database?

    And what about recognition between states etc? We live in a border town, so it is not inconceivable that our dog could actually be found in a different state to that in which we live.

    There are a web sites that you can type in the number and search your chip to see if you a reg there. Yep as a breeder of two breeds and rescue of both I am constantly chasing numbers to see That they are noted on the registry of that animals microchip (Dont just rely on the implanter to lodge to papers ) and then I keep myself as the second contact Just in case the owners do a phantom The dog comes back to me After the fires in Vic I had a rescue dog come back to me But it took 7 days cause the chip was reg in NSW not Vic SOOO very stupid that there is not a CENTRAL NATION WIDE REG
