Last Sunday we branded about 30 dogs. Until today my dogs seemsed to be fine. Today I noticed a nearly dime sized hole, deep enough to stick the tip of your finger into right on the branded area. It's on the front shoulder and I don't think she can lick it. I flushed it out with water. Any ideas of what I should put on it?

Tattoo is a good branding method. I did my last litter that way n used kuro sumi ink, it seems to be the better ink that doesnt fade in my tatts |

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!

Dry ice in a bucket + liquid nitrogen.. Inset brand until iced up handle... Secured dogs on truck bed.. Hold longer for light dogs... I have been treating her like a cut dog and she seems to be healing fine.

Well when I first saw the hole.. I thought what have I done now.. But all in all I think I will do it again.. All the dogs seem to be doing just fine now.. I will post some pictures when they heal up nice and hair is back from shaving.

What makes you not like branding? The fact that the brand was held on too long one of my dogs skin ripped open and nearly cut her back ham in two. Another's skin ripped really bad both dogs were out of commission for months. Another one of my dogs brand did not hardly show up. I am sure of the right person did it? Results may have been better.

Who was it that made custom brands real cheap? I was going to get one a while back and never got around to it.
