Title: question about branding
Post by: flipit n stickit on December 26, 2011, 08:13:38 pm
Was wondering if anyone knows how long to hold the freeze brand on a white dog ?

30 seconds or more on a white one cos you want to kill the hair folicles completely instead of just the color forming part of it,this way the hair wont grow back in but the problem with a white dog is the brand will more than likely scar up pink rather than dark.

30 sec is a good rule of thumb , until you have used an iron a while and learn it.
