Nameplates & ID Tags for Working Dogs

Dog Nameplates & ID Tags — Permanent Identification for Working Dogs

A hanging tag that rattles on hardware and catches every briar in the cover is a problem most working dog handlers solve once and don't revisit. The answer is a riveted nameplate — flat against the collar, silent, readable after seasons of mud and water, and not going anywhere unless you take it off. The FieldKing solid brass nameplates are the standard that's been on working dog collars in this country for a long time — four lines of engraving in large or small type, brass swat rivets included, volume pricing available for anyone outfitting a full kennel. The stainless steel version is the right call when corrosion resistance matters more than tradition — same dimensions, same engraving options, nickel-plated rivets to match. For handlers who travel with dogs to different grounds, field trials, or out-of-state hunts, the traveling nameplate is the one worth knowing about — it slides onto the collar rather than riveting on, sits flush so it won't hang up in cover, and comes off cleanly when the trip is over and the local contact information no longer applies. Available in brass and stainless, in 3/4" and 1" loop sizes to match the collar. The stainless steel hang-down dog tag is the one exception to the flat-mount approach — seven lines of text capacity makes it useful when you need more room for contact information, kennel name, or handling notes, and the S-hook attachment makes it easy to move between collars. Brass and nickel-plated swat rivets are available separately for anyone replacing hardware on an existing nameplate. For the full range of hunting dog collars and identification options, or if you're putting together dog traveling gear for an upcoming trip, those pages have what you need alongside.
