ID Tags

Those are cute - I've always wanted to get one for Maia, but then I thought - you'd never see it under all that fur! :lol:
 
You really need to be careful with these and make sure they are not to big, before you let your dog wear them.

Aztec had one very similar (not from this website) that said "King" and was in the shape of a crown.

Aztec was laying on the heater vent and the tag got stuck in the grate. When he tried to stand up and dragged the grate with him. I hear him yelping and ran right in to see him trying to run stuck to the grate! He managed to knock the tag loose so I took it off right away. I told my sister and found out it had happened earlier that day and she figured it was a fluke! Aztec still avoids the vents.

Anyways, the point of that ramble is to make sure you get tags that don't have to many prongs off them (like the crowns) or hang down to low. They could just as easily get caught on bushes, crate fronts or who knows what else! I would stick with the hearts and bottle caps.

The same thing happened to Lucky as a pup, and when he lifted the grate up his back legs went in the hole. He didn't do that again either, scared me to death. I like these collars I can buy from this one company, where everything is brass, and the collar has a flat ID on it (free). They deal more in bigger collars, but they will make smaller ones too.

I know when I chat with them, we discussed never to put their call name on the ID for safety sake. My name address and phone number is all you find.
The worst part about putting a collar on a sheltie, you can't see the collar.
 
I just wanted to add, Lynn got her cute ID tag like that (it was in an anchor shape) hung on the fence and freaked out. It was on her martingale collar to top it off! I am so glad I was home.
