I have trouble keeping a collar on Coal - nevermind tags! I tried tags with him for the first couple of years I had him but they kept breaking off. He's really hard on collars and tags. He doesn't have any identifaction now, but I honestly don't worry. Everyone around here knows who my dogs belong to (small town thing). When I move I'll invest in identifaction for them.
Linkin use to have a district tag, but it expired. It was licensed to his old owners anyway, and they've moved now. In my town, if you live in town or on the reserve you have to have your dog licensed, but out of town you don't (which is where we live).
So, neither of my dogs have identification... they really should, but it's honestly not a big worry here. Like I said, everyone around here knows who they belong to, and I'll be getting identification for them once I move away. I'd be more worried about them being run over on the roads than lost and not being returned.
When I was young we had a lab named Blue who had tags that had our address, phone number and his name on it. One day we got a phone call from someone down the road who was asked if our dog was missing. The answer was no, as he was at home, and they replied "oh, well is his collar then?" They found the collar and called our number on his tag.
