Collar Addicts -- Enter Here ;) Post pictures.

I feel my dogs are deprived now. Between 4 dogs I have 7 collars and one doesn't fit any of them, one's broken and one's a light up one for winter walks.

Oh and Sitstay? Yeah I hate you I've been thinking about getting an Ella's Lead Harry Potter themed embroidered collar for each dog (so I can put each of them in a house lol) and seeing yours reminded me of it and now I REALLY want one!! I've even got a house picked out for each dog

MOST people would say I'm addicted, but when I get on chaz, I feel like like I'm pretty average! I have a decent amount of collars for Chloe, but only one for Violet. HOWEVER, if I had a job/money, I'd have TONS of collars for both of them. My addiction is LOOKING at them online. I pick tons of favorites, save the pages, and then never look at them again because I know I can't buy them. I need a job!


A weenie collar for my little weenie. <3


Her and Jackson are twins! Aww!


She's hardcore.


Her usual collar. I think it's a delicate, pretty color on her.

She also has a puppia harness, and some really thin puppy/cat collars that I don't think look very good on her, so I don't use them ever.

ETA: Oh yeah, I forgot her ZEBRA collar! My favorite looks wise, but it tends to rub her fur off of her neck. The light pink one is a little softer, so we use it more.

Love everyone's collars! Here's all the collars in this house, I have never thrown a collar away.

Keepsake collars/leads from Maggie <3 <3


Box of bandanas


L to R: collars/leads that live in my car because they are used so often, collars/leads that live on the leash rack because they are used weekly or so, collars/leads that live in the closet and are only used occasionally.

Don't say that!
I'm so excited for it to get here. I was actually just about to order another collar design from Rebecca and then I saw her HP post and couldn't resist. LOL, I "sorted" her too! She would have looked nice in Gryffindor colors but she is definitely a Ravenclaw puppy.

This is too cute! <3
I like hairy dogs but it sucks buying nice collars and never being able to see them on your dog through all the ruff! I'm really hoping my mom gets a Whippet in the next couple years so I can buy it pretty martingales and have them actually show up, LOL.

What kind of collar is the middle one? It looks really nice. And I love Aeri's (mali)gator collar!

The middle one is an old style Ruffwear Knot-a-Collar; they are no longer made. It's a safety collar that loosens if snagged, so it is a tag collar only.

Wow! LOVE the collection you've built up, stardogs. Awesome.

Oh, I realized I forgot one (it was on my closet floor). I love this one, too. His Kong collar.

WHERE did you get that? I've been looking for something for Tika because her current collar doesn't quite fit properly and I think something similar to that would look AWESOME on her.

Looking at some CM fabrics, and can't decide.

Anyone wanna vote for Jackson's next collar? Now, some of these... I'm not sure how good they'd look on a 3/4 collar sooo.. I'll have to talk to the collar maker about it.







I think I'm going to get him the No Buckle Adjustable Slide Collar so there's no bulky buckles, either, but he still has the 3/4" width.

Ok I envy these... like a LOT. I really want a leather lead. Where did you get these ones?

I like the middle one the best. The first one is awesome but I don't think it would be suitable for a 3/4" collar.

Oh and since we're counting leashes as well ... I have 2 lol. I keep losing them.

I got one of the three brown latigo multifunction leashes when I interned at Guide Dogs for the Blind and then bought two more when I visited their campus a few years ago. This doesn't, however, mean you can't get one yourself because they sell them online for an AWESOME price! You really can't beat $14 for a sturdy leash that breaks in nicely and benefits a great cause.

The black multifunction is a true euro leash - I bought it in Prague on a study abroad trip.

The 6' brown latigo lead is from http://www.texasleash.com/.

The 2' brown latigo traffic leash is from a local place in my hometown that is now out of business.

I really really want one of those Paco cat collars for my cat! Except probably in burgundy/brown with silver hardware. I'm the fence about the elastic option though. Oh well the odds that I'll have the $$ to spend on that are slim, so no worries I guess!

Another place for nice leather leads at a very reasonable price is www.bridgeportquipment.com

I just ordered my CM collar as a no buckle adjustable slide collar.

I've actually heard terrible things about the quality of their leather. I don't have any myself so I can't tell you first-hand.

I do love OnLead leashes though, and they are SUPER cheap and free shipping. On Lead I have a euro leash from them and a regular 6ft leash

The link didn't work for the Guidedog place, and I checked in equipment and they didn't have any listed.

I *think* the Guidedog leashes are from J & J Dog Supplies - Dog Training equipment for Dog Obedience, Dog Agility, Dog Flyball, and more. I was at one of our local shows and they had several of the service dog type leads on a clearance rack for insanely cheap( and J&J already has some pretty insanely cheap prices. I asked Robb, the guy running the J&J booth why they were so cheap. He said that they we mistakes because they had brass snaps and the Guidedog place just wanted all chrome. Even if they aren't, J&J makes an almost identical leash. Very high quality and very decent prices.

Link worked for me just fine. J&J does sell the same leash if I recall correctly, but proceeds don't go to GDB.

Hrm I checked the link today and it worked for me as well. :\ J&J does sell a very similar leash with the options for chrome or brass fixtures and for a few $$ more.
