It is the responsibility of handlers/owners using microchips to identify their dogs for entry in a NARA event to insure there is an appropriate microchip reader available at the event. It is not the responsibility of the event host to provide a reader. Handlers/owners declaring for an international team must comply with the international competition requirements in effect at the time of the event. The Board of Directors, or a judge at any NARA event, may request at any time to see microchips ID with the owner/handler providing the reader

Policy updated July 2008 to include microchip verbiage.
