The Animal Improvement Act in South Africa prescribes that all registered Boerboels must bear permanent and uniform identification marks. BA’S official form of marking (identifying) dogs for registration purposes is microchipping. Only puppies with microchips (number to be provided when registering the dog on the VCMS Portal), will be issued with birth certificates, and dogs must have microchips when presented for appraisal.

Microchips (and scanners) may be ordered through the VCMS Portal during the registration of the dog & picked up and/or shipped from the Head Office.
