Microchipping is quick and easy to get done, and it will help you get your
Dog back if they go missing. It’s now a legal requirement to have any dog
Over the age of eight weeks microchipped in england and wales.
It’s a dog breeder’s responsibility to ensure puppies are microchipped
Before selling them. Puppies cannot be sold until they’re eight weeks old,
And they must be microchipped before you can buy them.
Breeders must also register their details on the database, and their
Details will be recorded against the microchip for the life of the dog. A
Person is considered to be a ‘breeder’ if they’re the owner of a dog that
Gives birth, whether or not they run a business breeding dogs.
