On the CNM page a dog I'm interested in is on the list with a certification level of "PI". I can't seem to determine what that means.

Also, what is "PIV" & "NOPI"?

Can someone help please?

Thanks.
Troy

From www.labradorcnm.com....

• PIV = Indicates the level of certification. There are three levels of decreasing reliability:

1- if the animal has been permanently identified in the form of tattoo or microchip and sampling certified by an independent veterinarian, a suffix of PIV is applied;

2- if the animal has been permanently identified in the form of tattoo or microchip but the sample was not certified by a veterinarian, a suffix of PI is applied;

3- if the animal lacks permanent identification and therefore the sample could not be certified by a veterinarian, a suffix of NOPI is applied.

Go to Testing Your Dog in left menu in www.labradorcnm.com and there is a tab on certifications.

Thanks Shayne for the accurate information

Troy, Let me know if you need any other help.
