Requirements
for Tattoo Identification that is Difficult.
Procedure if a Tattoo
is Difficult to Read :
Case 1. If the tattoo
is partially visible, but you are unable to read the entire tattoo. The
dog is to be tattooed when under anaesthetic for the hip/elbow xray, by
a club tattoo officer, not the veterinarian, in the left ear with
its original tattoo prefix/number.
Case 2. If the tattoo
is not visible at all, then the owner is to apply for an "AUS" number.
This is to be applied when the dog is under anaesthetic for the hip/elbow
xray, by a club tattoo officer, not the veterinarian, in the right
ear.
In both cases, the
attending club tattoo officer is to report this to the club's Tattoo Registrar
for GSDCA recording purposes.
