We have a AVID scanner that reads both Canadian and NFHR Chips. It also reads AVID chips that we place in our "other" horses. (AQHA APHA and the rest do not have rules yet for chipping.) Our Vet which chips many more dogs than horses says that a chip can fall out or move in the body of a dog. So when they cannot find a chip where it is normally to go, they scan the full body of the dog. We just recently could not find a chip in a Fjord baby. I scanned and scanned. It had either fell out or moved to the "places unknown". I was there when we chipped her and read her after inserting the chip. So, I know with my own eyes it went in. But with babies that play hard, it could have come out or it could have moved. I will next time chip in a stall and scan the sight within 24 hours to verify it stayed in. Catherine Lassesen
