Dog chipping.

The cost is zero, the cost of getting caught is a bit more.

I sent them a cheque last year to reg our dogs they sent it back saying was not exact amount, I said ok and left it at that.

I own 2 dogs and am looking at getting a 3rd next yr... I used to be against chipping on principle cos I felt it was "big-brotherish" until my friend lost her prized Rotty... she had moved to Oz and taken him with her so the dog was totally unfamiliar with ANY of the territory. He had been missing for a month before he finally got tired and hungry enuf for someone to be able to approach him and get him into a vehicle and take him to a vets. BINGO! Scanned his chip and phoned her immediately... Happy dog and happy owner.
As for so-called "dangerous dogs"... well chipping ain't gonna do nothing cos the dickhead owners don't register them anyway so its not gonna make any difference in that respect.
De-sexing would be a better option- pick up every stray, give the owner a chance to get their dog back ( after proof of rego/whatever ) but if the owner obviously doesn't give a toss and the dog is a repeat offender then DE-SEX it! Stop the buggers breeding! ... and the same could apply to cats...
May seem harsh but F**k it! I am sick of seeing skinny unloved strays roaming the streets...

Reckon we should do the same for homeless people?!
