ISO Chips

The ISO chip has not been approved for use in the USA. I wouldn't be surprised to see our deadline of 1 August extended, there are very few readers in Canada capable of reading the ISO chip.

MICROCHIP INFO

Canada has joined the rest of the world! Canadians have been using "FECAVA" microchips since they were introduced in 1995. Many versions of microchips were available then and were being used by various countries. It soon became apparent that a standard was required, an "ISO" Standard was established and most countries adopted it. Canada and the USA have been among the last countries to adopt the ISO chip. Beginning 1 Aug 05 the Canadian standard will be the ISO. The ISO chip could be implanted now except the various manufacturers must first gain the blessings of the CKC. Some manufacturers of microchips have made applications but none have been approved to date.

SANCTION MATCH & SHOW

A "practice dog show and obedience trial" will be held tomorrow 30 January at Pawplex. This event is for training and fun. The obedience judge is well known my myself, she will make every effort to make this a pleasant experience for all. I'll be entering Roo, Mutt, Ada and Mud and expect to get there around 11AM. Several members of our obedience classes will also be there with their dogs. This is a really good chance for anyone to get their feet wet and to see some good and bad dog work! I suggest that everyone bring their own lawn chair.
