dogs on the beach

Here's another link:

If the sheriff wanted to be an a$$, s/he could do enforce the following rule:
"All animals must wear a collar, which identifies the owner of said animal, the owner?s address, and phone number, tattoo, or a microchip. To ensure proper notice, all tattoos shall be registered with the animal control authority. An officer may pick up any animal that is not properly identified and place said animal in the animal control shelter."

Do they have high-thread-count sheets in the shelter? YIKES! Time to put Pepper's Walton County license tag and microchip tag on her collar.

BTW it's Pepper's 1st birthday today! She's celebrating by having her favorite French vanilla yogurt from Dawson's.

You have an external microchip to place on a collar? My dog's chip is under the skin, so from reading the rule you quote above, my dog does not have to wear his collar, except of course for the beach permit.

My 2 have them under the skin as well. But, I also have a big yellow tag for their collars. I got these from the micro-chip mfg. when I sent in my registration forms.

Be aware that the State Park does not allow animals at all. Even a completely indoor animal in an RV---not allowed. They have had problems with pets (especially cats) that escaped. The owners would go home sans kittie, who then becomes feral. Dogs love the beach, but the reality is that unleashed animals and wildlife-protected areas are not a good mix. I wish the sheriff deputies were as good about patrolling our neighborhood areas other than the beach. A lady who lives across the lane from us allows her dogs to roam for their toilets and they have used the landscaped area next to our pool. That's really what I want to do on my rare trips to Grayton---admire the Gulf view before scooping up four months worth of her two dogs' poop. Any ideas about how this could be stopped? :idontno:

we had this problem with a neighbor letting their smaller dog poop around our mailbox when they would walk the dog about 4:30 or so in the morning. i waited for them on the porch one day, caught them, and told them i would be bringing my dog over for her morning poo in about an hour, and she weighs probably 4 times what their dog does. imagine the mess. they hurriedly picked the poo up with tissues from their pocket, and we've had no more problems.

I am curious as to why some of you with chips place a tag on the color with the chip's ID.:idontno: The benefit of the chip is that the ownership info stays with the dog when the collar comes off. If your dog's chip ID tag stays on the collar, shouldn't a regular name/ address tag stay on too? Is this a redundancy or is there something I am missing?

Just curious.

I agree. I didn't know what the heck to do with them when I got them. So i filed them with my registration info. :idontno:

My dog has a chip under the skin and also a collar chip tag with a phone number to call. If an agency finds your dog, the chip tag is another way to identify the dog by calling the chip phone number. More info may be registered with the chip agency about the dog than an ID tag.

The micro chip tag was bigger than Bailey's head! I was afraid if I put her's on she wouldn't be able to stand up and walk around! :funn:

Oh...I didn't put that on her!....It is HUGE! Bailey would be dusting the floor with her chin! Molly kept trying to bite it and I removed it.

It's irrelevant for us. I didn't bring pliers to put the tags on with, so she's tagless. :oops: All she wears is her pink collar with palm trees on it. She doesn't need a name and address tag because we signed a contract with the breeder saying that she always has to either be on a leash or be in a fenced-in area (or obviously in the house).

Contractually we have to pet her 25 times a day, kiss her when she goes nitey-nite, and ... just kidding. 😀

My friend Leigh has three llasa apso dogs and I could definitely say the same about them. The color of the collars change with the seasons--let's see, there's plaid for Christmas, pastels at Eastertime, pumpkin orange for the fall--even their ID tags are color-coordinated! They are the most glamorous dogs in the Midwest. :wub:

Butter came to us with an implanted chip that has all the contact numbers, including the breeder's, in the event they can't get in touch with us for some reason. The only thing about the implanted chip is that one has to scan the dog to find it. You have no idea the chip is there, for all practical purposes. Not every household has a pet scanner on hand. Butter's even has his DNA in there, although I don't know why that is necessary or even relevant. Guess if he commits a murder, it would be helpful to the prosecution. Then upon reflection...maybe not. :idontno:
