It's an excellant idea. I just booked my puppy in today. Everyone in my neighbourhood knows my puppy too as she's the only Bichon Frise around here but I wouldn't take a chance. What if she wandered out without me realising and managed to get out of the neighbourhood? Or some passerby who didn't know me took her to the pound? I plan to take my puppy on day trips to the coast with us regularly after she's had her shots and there's nothing to say she wouldn't run off or something like that, so she really needs to be chipped.

I own a Dachshund and she is chipped. She had a litter of puppies almost two year ago and right before they went to their new homes I had them all chipped as well. Their chips are all registered to me and their owners are aware of it. I made the decision to breed a litter and felt that I should always care for them in some way should they ever get lost or abondoned. I think it is one of the best things and would recommend it to anyone.
