LEATHER CENTER RING COLLAR - This attractive and durable 1" wide leather collar is one of the best values around. It's made of fully-stitched, chestnut-colored leather with finished edges. It has a roller buckle, D-ring, and center safety ring. All hardware is non-rusting brass. We've been using this collar on our dogs for several months now and are very pleased with its appearance and durability. The 16" length fits all of our dogs, from a 6 month old DD puppy up through a large (overweight) retiree. Made in the USA. Details

(Our favorite type of ID tag for this collar is a brass slide-on which fits perfectly. We don't sell them, but you can get a supply at a great price at www.boomerangtags.com. We have no business relationship with them, but want to let our customers know about a good service.)

SAFETY COLLARS - These are Biothane with center ring. They're sturdy, and won't absorb water. The Lime and Bright Orange are highly visble in daylight. The 21" size will fit most medium to large gun dogs - those with necks from about 16.5" to almost 20". Punch some extra holes with a hot nail, and they'll fit slightly smaller dogs also. Sorry, we don't offer ID tags.

Please note that we carry the above collar straps simply as a service to the occasional customer who needs some sort of collar quickly, or for those who already have ID plates or tags. If you don't have your own ID plate or tag, we feel that you would actually do better to purchase your kennel/ID collar from a retailer who supplies collars with ID plates attached. You will also find a number of websites that do a great job with tags. Although we have no business relationship with them, for our personal use we rely on www.boomerangtags.com.

REFLECTIVE COLLARS - These collars are made by Coastal, and we stock them only in Large size - for dogs having actual neck measurements of 18" to 28" (roughly 90 lbs. up). They're made of nylon web about 1" wide, with a gray reflective coating actually embedded into the center of the band of webbing. These are not as reflective as Reflexite collars, but the material seems to hold up better. The black version makes a fairly good collar for the water dog owner who wants a collar that's not very conspicuous on the marsh, but wants to provide some protection should the dog enter the beam of a car's headlight. There's a standard D ring and the buckle is a plastic quick release. Sorry, we don't offer ID tags. For this one we'd recommend a hanging ID tag through the tri-slide.

FIELD TRIAL/TRACKING COLLARS -These 2" wide leather collars have a full width band of Reflexite® and are fitted with heavy-duty solid brass hardware. Made by TBI, these collars are intended for use with pointing breeds during field trials and anytime extra visibility is appropriate. Equally appropriate for hounds. This is the collar we prefer to use for tracking training - dogs can pull easily against these collars. Sizes are measured from the end of the buckle to the middle hole, so base your choice on the dog's actual neck size. For continental breeds, a 16" nicely fits a 70 lb. dog, as does the 18" on a 90 lb. dog. If using for tracking, don't hesitate to err on the larger side - some folks prefer a tracking collar that can be slipped over the dog's head. Out of stock as of June '08; the manufacturer cannot estimate if or when production will resume.
