Yes the chip has been registered to us. Prior to that, the chip had no information attached to it at all, just the serial number of the chip when scanned, the database was empty of information includung breeder, or origional owner. It is an AKC supplied chip that, as I understand it, is supplied to kennels for their implant needs. In May, I inquired of the AKC if they kept records of who they sold chips to, but received no answer.
My vet says that Daisy was spayed as a pup, so I doubt that the kennel wanted her to be used for breeding. That's one reason I am curious about her kennel and pedigree. I'm not experienced in dog breeding and showing, but I see some aspects of Daisy that are bordering on non-conformity to the breed standard. But the owner surrender information indicates that she is a purebred Golden, that her birthday is known, and that her name is known. And the fact that she has a chip implanted, even though there was no information associated with it, suggests that she may be a not-quite-breeding-or-show quality Golden. But she is a great family pet and field retriever. Really a supurb retriever. But tall, thin, long legged, with a huge and prominant occipital ridge. Afterall, why would you chip and then spay a purebred pup, or waste a chip on a less than perfect dog?
