another question: since they need to clip a patch to brand on, how long do you think it will take before the clipped patch blends in with the rest of an unclipped coat (unclipped to avoid losing pally colour - lots of brushing due before the royal!). he's already shedding, if that helps. i dread the thought of turning up at the royal for hacking with a square clipped patch on one shoulder...i've seen people with fluffy natives/minis forced to clip a patch to ID brands for the biosecurity check on the day of the show, and it looks awful - we won't have that much contrast, but i'm worried the hack judges will frown upon it. it's hard enough being a pally in a hack ring!
