    Little green Tattoo

    Luighseach my bloodhound has a small green line tattooed on her belly right between her two lower right side nipples. Does any one know what this tattoo could be?

    Could it be a tattoo indicating that she's been spayed? Since a male being neutered is obvious but a female who is spayed is not, some vets will place a small tattoo around the area in which the dog would have to be shaved to be spayed in case the dog goes stray and winds up in a shelter, they do not wind up having to do surgery to find out whether she's spayed or not.

    ya she has been spayed I will have to email her original foster home in michigan to find out if that is what it is

    Could it be a breeder thing?
    I'm not sure about dogs, but within the horse world there are different tattoos and brands for different breeds/breeders.

    But usually breeder tats are serial numbers somewhere where they'll remain visible, like inside the ear or on a hairless part of the thigh for certain breeds. Marlowe has breeder tats in both his years (one is a serial number, the other is the initials of the breeder).
