    Just keep in minds, collars can get lost. Tags can get lost. Microchips are not always scanned by the vets/shelters. Some microchips need to be updated yearly (there is one I am aware of in the US that has a yearly fee). Not every vet/shelter has a universal scanner. Sometimes microchips can migrate. We do all we can to keep our pups safe.

    Sca has a blue or green one of these http://www.rescuepetstore.com/produ...938_a_7c3657&gclid=CM--zNvh4L4CFetlOgod-kgAbA

    Spitfire just has a red one that I got at petsmart

    Both guys have Cleanrun Comfortflex harnesses for flyball and Spitfire also has a K9 harness (he likes it less).

    In the year they go starkers but at flyball they always have at least a collar and both while running. Oh and at Mom and Dad's they have collars on.

    Where can I order a very thin/light chain. All the chains at pet stores are pretty thick

    I have a 3/4 inch nylon buckle collar on Riley. I have a slide on tag I got from http://www.boomerangtags.com/store/list.php?A=G&ID=5. Riley gets crated at night or when he is home alone so I wanted a tag I didn't have to worry about getting caught in the crate. On the tag I have:

    "Riley
    home phone
    cell phone
    microchipped
    Med alert - mdr1"

    If I go places where there are a lot of other people/dogs I put a different collar on that has his tags (id, rabies, akc microchip # & mdr1 med alert) on. If I forget the other collar, I always carry a copy of his rabies certificate in my purse. Once he is out of the crate I would like to get a rolled leather collar.

    I got mine at Petsmart. It was 22 inches, I believe; not sure about the gauge, but it's lighter than the 3-mm 18-inch one I got for him previously, which he outgrew.
