7 liver cockers last night, but how do i tell the difference

[Feathers]

I bought the whelp collars but ended up with two pups, one liver and one black, no need for the collars now!

Thanks for all the replies

I'm going to try the paper collars and see how they go.

Sorry to hijack this thread but rather than start a fresh one for a similar question, what tips do you all have for making sure you can still recognise the pup you picked at 4 weeks to make sure you get the right one at 8 weeks? I am picking ours in a week or so and they are also a litter of near identical choc cockers. I have heard advice from nail varnish ( mentioned earlier) to take a pair of scissors and cut a bit of fur from an area. I don't want to offend the breeder and not sure of any protocols.

i wouldnt pick a pup at 4 weeks, def not till at least 7, have u to pick it at 4 weeks ??

I think so, will have to double check with the breeder as we are 3rd in the order. Is it common that you wait until nearer the collection date of 8 weeks?

Whelpi Velcro collars as mentioned above. The were brilliant for a solid black litter - made identification for chipping, worming etc much easier. Definitely recommend them.
