The answer to your second question is that they do need to be either
microchipped or tattooed. I choose microchippping as it also serves the
purpose of recovery from a shelter if the dog ever is lost.
That's what most people think but its actually not so. Here's what it says
on the OFA form that's submitted with x-rays....
"The OFA has adopted a policy, effective January 1, 2001, acknowledging
animals that have been submitted for inclusion in our databases that have
permanent identification in the form of microchip or
tattoo. Animals not permanently identified will continue to be evaluated;
however, they will be issued a number clearly indicating that the animal has
no
permanent identification."
