Re: [pyrnet] Close call

[Jack & Charlotte Perry <pyreau@erols.com>]

    We have our dogs both microchipped and tattooed (in
case they are found by someone without a scanner).  All have been
done without any anesthesia and we have never had a Pyr even flinch. We
have had many done at clinics run by our local animal shelters, kennel
clubs, or obedience clubs. Even our Pyr club has had  microchipping
clinics.  Ours are tattoed inside the thigh, don't know if ear tattoos
are more painful.
    Thanks, Barb, for the info on the breakaway collars....I'm
going to forward the info to all our puppy people.
