The quality of the tattoo is directly related to the skill of the tattooer. Xenta had the smallest tattoo I have ever seen (done in Holland) and it was easily read her entire life. Gordy's tattoo is legible - he is turning 10 - and it was done here at age 7 weeks. Both were tattooed in the ear.

The litter is tattooed in the ear at 6 weeks and can be traced back to the breeder for life by that number. Wish the U.S. did that.
