Did you know only about 70 % of Dalmatians have normal hearing? In February 2014, Daisy’s adorable Dalmatian pups underwent BAER hearing tests to screen for deafness—a common trait in white-furred breeds. Early testing is vital: it helps owners prepare, adapt training techniques, and ensure pups with hearing challenges get the right support from day one.
It’s been a great week in the office—engraving and dispatching hundreds of tags across the UK. At Pet‑Tags in Berkhamsted, the most popular pet names were Bella and Lightning for cats, and Charlie and Poppy for dogs, with Hiccup making a cute surprise. Favourite tag designs included the aqua Glitter Fish for cats and the pink Fashion Tie and blue Paw for dogs.
What a lovely surprise—Daisy began giving birth nearly a week early on Sunday! On January 5, she welcomed ten adorable Dalmatian pups. Mum and her pups are doing wonderfully, and the team is overjoyed watching them grow in their first week of life.
Daisy’s breeding adventure began in September 2013 when our admin manager Natasha found the perfect black‑spotted stud, secured Kennel Club endorsements, and timed Daisy’s mating twice after tracking her season. By early January 2014, Daisy gave birth to ten beautiful pups—nine seen on ultrasound—to begin life in a cozy, heated whelping box carefully prepared for their first weeks.

I can’t believe it’s the end of another week—weeks just fly by at Pet Tags! Summer has disappeared and autumn has arrived, and the team’s been busy engraving tags and preparing orders. As the season changes, we’re reminded how quickly time moves when you love what you do.
Autumn’s cooler temperatures and crunchy leaves create a natural playground for dogs—perfect for jumping, digging, and sniffing adventures. Leaf piles satisfy natural instincts like burrowing and provide mental and physical stimulation. Just clear sticks, check for pests, and bring water. Add reflective ID tags for safety, then let your pup enjoy one of the season’s best simple pleasures.
Our Dalmatian Daisy is about to become a mum! After selecting the perfect black-spotted stud, negotiating a responsible breeder agreement, and seeking Kennel Club endorsement, we anticipated a Christmas litter. Daisy’s season came and went, but her due dates—planned for August—were carefully tracked, setting the stage for a joyous, well-prepared whelping journey.
Here at Pet‑Tags, we’re blessed with our Dalmatian Daisy, who’s begun her journey to motherhood. From finding the perfect stud and navigating Kennel Club endorsements to preparing the whelping box and anticipating her litter, Natasha (our admin manager) shares the behind‑the‑scenes details. It’s a fascinating and heartwarming glimpse into responsible, well‑planned canine breeding.
Moving home? Amid updating utilities and banks, don’t overlook your dog’s ID tag! Your pet’s collar should instantly reflect your new address (with house number and postcode), alongside current contact info. A mismatched tag risks delay in reunions if they escape. Keeping ID updated is simple, but crucial—just like redirecting your mail.
