    OP it depends on which database the breeder has registered the chip with. The breeder should be able to tell you. The microchip number will be on the pet passport, and you give this to the database, plus all your contact details. You will probably need to pay a fee to the microchip database to change the ownership details. It shouldn't be any more than €15, which is what IKC, FIDO and Animark charge here.

    I would also then register the microchip with one of the Irish databases. I'd actually register with FIDO as they are the easiest for vets/pounds/rescues etc. to use when looking up a microchip number, which means your pet will get home faster than if your contact details are on the IKC database. If you do want to register the chip with the IKC I guess they will look for proof of pedigree. You could email and ask?
