Could anyone here give me an idea of the pros/cons of both?
I know micro chip costs, but what about tatooing?
Who tatoos?

I've heard the cancer thing too and I've heard that the microchips only work with specific scanners...I don't know if that is true or not. I hope for our baby's sake it isn't! I've thought about tattooing too. They do it at our local dog show when it comes every year I know... I'll be watching to get input. I don't really know how it works.
