We have an update on the Give a Dog a Genome project. Please check our Health page for the latest... - The British Briard Club We were recently contacted with regards to an article, an information guide if you will, on the new laws about microchipping.
We can't stress the importance and benefits behind this, but for further information on the new regulation please see details on the Vet Sure site.
