My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Identifying your pups? What do you use and when do you purchase your bands or whatever you may use to ID your pups? So far I have not had a need but I am preparing and thought I'd ask what everyone tends to use. Thanks! |

| Ive always been able to tell them apart as my usual litter is 3. But when I had labs, I used ric-rak. I think they have puppy ID bands you can order from Revival or Foster and Smith. |

My Tiny Treasures Donating Member | Thats been me so far, small litters so far so I didn't need ID bands. I think I'm trying to jynx myself into a bigger litter |

| I have heard that some people use fingernail polish in different colors to tell the puppies apart. I haven't had to resort to this as our usual litter is 4, and usually different sex/sizes to help tell them apart. Our last litter was four boys, and I considered using bands of some kind, but I know my mom would just lick/bite them off. Katelin |

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | I used regular fabric ribbon in different colors (duh). I bought the type that was probably 1/4 (or less) of an inch thick. It worked well for me.

| ID I have never found the need to ID with a litter. None of mine are 100% identical...I do not like collars of any material!!! Heard of too many accidents..colored nail polish sounds the best to me. |

| I put little bands on when they're born, but once I've been around them for a couple days I can identify them just by looking...I know who's who. Then I take the bands off...they scare me beyond that, the way those munchkins grow! |

| the colored nail polish sounds like a great idea. I personally would have never thought of that LOL I would also get scared with collars and such. It's interesting to see all of the different ideas good post

| The breeder that I got my girls from put non-toxic colored paint on their toes or somewhere that wouldn't be bothered to tell them apart (I think she had 4 girls and 1 boy.. 3 of the girls were identical!)..
