Aziah Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) All puppies are chipped into my name when I have them done, when puppy owners come to collect their pup, they sign the transfer of owner form for the microchip and I send it off (and I generally send each from that letter off at once) to council... This way I know it's done and then they'll receive the required paperwork to register puppy with their local council.

Same goes here!! You as a breeder are supplied with paperwork for all pups microchipped....the microchipper (vet) submits documentation to the registering body and you are given forms for each individual pup for the new owner to transfer the pup into their names.....the breeder sends off the signed transfer form..... I generally keep a copy for myself.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WreckitWhippet Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 We chip at 8 weeks when we do the first vacc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozwildflower Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I do it a bit differently and it seems to have worked well... I have had the pups micro-chipped from 8 weeks when their new homes are definite and then I have them chipped in the new owners name and give them the paperwork with the puppy pack when pup is collected. My vet suggested doing it that way and so far, so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellbyville Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I put them all in my name when they are chipped and then get the new owners to fill out the CA3 (Change of Ownership) form when they pick up pup, then I take it into my local council. I also keep a copy for myself. For puppies that are being transported to their new owners. I send the form in the puppy pack along with an addressed, stamped envelope and instructions to fill in their bit on the form and send it back to me. All have so far.

WreckitWhippet Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 If you are in NSW and chip the puppies into your name ( as most breeders do , unless they have puppies going to definate homes ) , then you as the breeder are responsible under the CAA to make sure that the change of ownership is completed and lodged with your council with 14 days. There are still many who do not know that this is the case, so I just thought I'd pop that in here for any new breeders in NSW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Baggins Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I do mine (cavs) at 7 weeks with immos. It goes into my name as it has to be signed. When I get the papers back I fill out the change of owership putting me as a third contact. Send to new owner with a cheque to send to CAR. When cheque cashed I know its changed.

t-time Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 You can chip pups in Qld at 6 wks now if you want - another change as they realised that reg breeders needed earlier chipping for health testing purposes. My current litter have been chipped at 7 weeks and if I had purchasers lined up, the papers went straight into their name. HOWEVER - you have to know the council area and full address/ph no. details for the new owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsun Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Pups are chipped in our names here and given the CARs form to fill out when they are sold. Chipping is done just before first shots and not at the same time as I beleive that it is too stressful to undergo both proceedures. (meaning i feel that the shots are harder on the immune system re: stress, than the chipping) I used to chip and/or tattoo about 5-6 weeks on average depending on what else was lined up (remember, I used to crop ears so wanted to get ID done prior to this proceedure) Size of dog doesn't matter when it comes to chipping....I've chipped 6 week chihuahua's in the past....no big deal.

MissMonaro Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I just had my litter done at just over 6 1/2 weeks old. I didnt have the new owners details with me, so I rang the vet back, they filled out the form and posted me copies out for each of the new owners of the pups. All they basically wanted was name, address, phone, mobile, email etc....and a 2nd contact number. I gave mine as 2nd contact, and they said the new owner will be able to change the details over the internet. Note: I did ring some vets who were adamant that they would not chip a pup under 8 weeks of age....but found out that vets can do it now and that some vets need to perhaps acquaint themselves with the new updates and changes to the microchipping laws. (also prices some of them wanted were a bit ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 We chip at 8 weeks when we do the first vacc. Same here. I think if you are listed first as the breeder that will also remain on the history so hopefully the dog can be traced back to you if it ever needs to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 The first litter I had done the vet kept a copy of the registration form and gave me a photocopy which was put into the puppy packages with a stamped envelope to be posted back to the vet. In one case, one person didn't post it back within a reasonable timeframe so we went ahead and registered the chip in my name and the transfer was done at a later date. The second litter I had the details of the purchasers on hand so they were just filled in with me as second contact. The third litter, there was only one puppy and she is staying so she is chipped in my name. The last one, they are chipped in my name and I will post transfer forms to the new owners with my name as second contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
