It wouldn’t be a big deal, except there are those who like to abuse the “Endangered Species Act” “protecting” animals which aren’t really endangered, simply to further their agenda. They are using the same excuse for wolves; there is a group which has been sampling scat for years and finally found some on the Canadian border which is (allegedly) part wolf.
Now they are attempting to use that as an excuse to stop all coyote hunting.

I spent 3 hours last night until dark and 2 more hours this morning searching for my neighbors dog. Her sister (in her 80s) decided to take the dog for a walk off leach while dog sitting and the dog went off trail to wallow in a pond and did not come back to the trail. The dog did not have a collar tag and apparently people saw her, checked for a tag and let her loose. Anyway, long story short, I found her and she is back with her mom. I did a little lecturing/suggesting this morning on the importance of a collar tag. In my neighbor's defense we both live on the saltwater, this dog regularly goes for a swim and apparently the little dog tag rings rust out and the tag(s) have fallen off. I suggested this tag which is what I use. No jingle, jingle. No snagging of the ring on branches, etc. They are stainless and deep engraved so the letters do not wear off. I am a big fan. I have been using them for over a decade since there was one guy making them. Now you can get them on Amazon.

1 - Good for the lecturing on your end since I believe you had that right since you took time out of your own day to help and you did.

2 - When the dog collar can no longer be read or falls off, replace it with a new one.

3 - Thanks for the link. May use them.

They make the thread-through type but my collars are pre-made with end on them so I use the C ends. I put the tag on the double back section of the collar. They are not that hard to put on and I have never had them come off. The deep engraving works well so they can be read years later.

I just want to know how he gets into the tote. Looks like footprints on the seat LOL

 

[VroomVroom]

He might of had some help by me. Lol. I made the aluminum pan, but didn’t have time to make him a box. So I used a tote I had. I’d like a box with a door in the back. He had knee surgery at 5 moths old so I don’t really like him jumping much but he can. Don’t notice his leg at all now at 2.5 years old. He can spring in truck like a rabbit. But I prefer to lift him.

Bored. Ready to go

Understood. Just seemed like a small area to get in up pretty high. I've found from my own experience, that we all love to see dogs jumping high, but after talking to vets, the landings wear their joints over time.

Just the fact that you helped him in to take him along with you tells me your a pretty good man

Not sure which is better, wife by your side or dog by your side

EDIT - after considerable thought as both a husband and a dog owner, I thought of the perfect response...

Both your wife and dog at your side

 

[VroomVroom]

Yeah he goes where I go if at all possible. I only went 25-30 kph. 15mph. Took an hour to get up to the blueberry patch.

The wife complained when Molly would shake at night and wake her up so I got one of the "quiet" tags. Name, phone and I put that she's chipped.

 

[Jstpssng]

My dog doesn't wear a collar for safety reasons; I don't need it getting caught on a branch and snubbing him up. My next one will be chipped though.

 

[VroomVroom]

Yeah missus don’t like him shaking tag at night. And his ears get itchy

Very cute.....but does not look anything like a Newfie!

After he’s wet he does

I adjust my dog's collars to where they will just slip off with some effort. That way if they get snagged I lose just the collar, but I have never had that happen.
