MICROCHIP REGISTRATION FOR YOUR PUPPY!
Microchips are useless unless you do the registration!!!!!!
When you add a Calisun puppy to your family, he or she will come home to you already microchipped - all you have to do is register the microchip. This is a one-time activation fee, and there is no charge to process a change of address, etc., for the life of your dog. Please, Please, Please register the chip - if you do not activate your registration and your dog becomes lost, there is no way to track the microchip and your dog could be euthanized or placed in another home because they could not find YOU!!! So don't procrastinate, take care of this quickly, and keep the contact information current. You can list an alternate contact - I would suggest me as the breeder, or a close relative who will always know where you are. Your veterinarian might not be the best choice, as they can be hard to reach, and you will change vets more often than you will relocate! And don't forget to update your information if you move or change phone numbers.
For your convenience, just take care of your registration online and activate your puppy's microchip in the tracking system NOW!
The links you will find here are for a variety of sites that provide invaluable resources for this wonderful breed, including information on ongoing canine health issues not restricted to just poodles, veterinary concerns, breeders, kennel clubs, nationals, grooming and general information. We encourage you to read as much information as you can before making the decision to add a poodle to your family. Making an informed, well-educated decision will add to the joy of being owned by a Standard Poodle!
Please email me if you find a broken link anywhere - it happens! Also, if you have a site to recommend which doesn't appear here, please email me (poshpoos@gmail.com) and I'll try to include it if it's pertinent! Click HERE to view a number of very useful files that you may download for your own use.
