VERY wise advice Lissa........ I use a pencil tattoo and put ID on my dogs....for my benefit, not the rest of the counting world. Molly In a message dated 5/26/2012 9:12:21 P.M.

Not too many years ago the State of California wanted every dog PI-ed. Along with stringent spay and neuter rules. I decided then I would be careful with what I kept under the radar thus some are NOPI. That law went bye bye for now but it seems to me if you all are insisting on PI you are doing the job of the AR people for them. If you do not trust the person do not do business with them.
