When we went to pick our puppy from a litter of 12, all black, the breeder daubed our chosen puppy with nail varnish at the base of his tail, the others were done in different places and she wrote down where the mark was so we knew which one was ours. We also got to cuddle him until the nail varnish dried (at least 30 mins to make sure )
I don't identify my puppies until people start choosing at 7 weeks or so. Until then anything around their neck could be dangerous and you really have no need to...

Blue had a tattoo in her ear. I assume done when she was really tiny but I notice in the photos she had a mauve piece of wool around her neck and she was called Rag Doll Mauve (Ragdoll is her Mum).
the litter that diva is from the black pups had red or orange on foot or tail i think its nail varnish tho not sure n the 2 yellows werent marked coz they had one of each sex i would of thought anything round the neck would be dangerous especially once the pups get mobile n are crawling all over each other
