For my dogs, their name on the tag is irrelavent in someone bonding with them. They are friendly, as I'm sure most of our member's hunting dogs are, and will go to strangers tails wagging. My rivetted tags don't have their names because there isn't a lot of room. The tag has my wife and my name on it to personalize that there is someone with a name missing this dog. I used to put my address on it too, but again, someone will call or not, address or not.
