what do the ear tattoos mean?
A Greyhound’s right ear tattoo represents the month, year and tattoo order of your dogs litter. The last number before the letter is his year of birth, the first one or two numbers is his month of birth. The letter represents the order in which the litter was tattooed (It does not mean the order of birth). For example: 109E means the dog was born in October 1999 and was the fifth dog in the litter to be tattooed. The left ear contains a tattoo representing his actual NGA litter registration number. Can’t read the tattoo? Try shining a flashlight through the ear so it is illuminated from behind.
