"Iditarod sled dogs to be identified with computer chips"
|
|
|
|
Organizers of this year's Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race will
|
|
use computer chips instead of paint to identify dogs taking
|
|
part in the 1000 mile trek across Alaska.
|
|
|
|
Tiny chips the size of a grain of rice will permit officials
|
|
to use portable hand-held scanners to check every dog in the
|
|
race - hundreds of animals - and help prevent illegal attempts
|
|
to substitute dogs along the route from Anchorage to Nome.
|
|
|
|
The chips are implanted under the back of a dog's neck using a
|
|
fat, hollow-tipped needle.
|
|
|
|
Chief veterinarian for the 1993 race, Dr. James Leach III, said
|
|
the chips have been injected in animals ranging in girth from
|
|
birds and puppies to llamas. So far, he said, there have been no
|
|
bad reactions. Initial response to the plan shows most mushers
|
|
seem to favor the idea, especially if it does away with messy
|
|
paint that rubs off on clothes.
