Recommendations to Breeder's

Please tattoo and microchip each pup before placing them in their new homes. It is very difficult and expensive for indivigual owners to get their pups tattooed and/or Microchipped and protects you from the seller making false accusations about the pup not being the correct pup.

The ideal and most reasonable tattoo equipment available for tattooing small pups that will remain readable when they are adults, is available at www.bassequipment.com  .  We recommend using green roll-on ink.

We also recommend Microchipping every pup before placing them. Microchipes are available direct from Avid at www.microchipidsystems.com .
Both 9 and 10 digit chips are available for the same cost. 

Microchip numbers and Tattoo numbers are put on all registration papers for no extra cost.


Allowable out-crosses
None
