I want a new leather collar

[StompinT]

I have my Bouvier puppy (yeah!) and want to get him a great leather collar. In my mind, I'm picturing leather, with colored stitching. Does this exist? How much should I expect to spend to get a quality collar? All suggestions welcome!

 

[JacksonsMom]

How much are you willing to pay?!

I really like Karma Collars a lot. Prices are right IMO and the quality is superb. They're my new favorite.

Paco Collars is always amazing but I do realize they're pricier. They're worth the cost most of the time, IMO, but I do tend to wait for sales etc.


Ella's Lead is probably the most customizable as far as colored leathers, monogramming, etc.

Oh check out Hilltop Leathers too.

Second all of the above. There are also a lot of leather collars to be found on Etsy.

 

[StompinT]

Thanks! I will look into all of those options.

Now tell me, do leather collars get smelly? It's been a million years since I've used one .....

Sebastian & Co has black leather with stitching, not too much $$.

I know the Paco Collars you should be able to wear in water and whatnot with no damage or smell.

and a little conditioner will get it back anyway.

Blue Lynx Leather. They're on Facebook.

Jackson's Paco has been through *everything*. Water, mud, snow, etc, it doesn't smell and has held up very very well through the past almost 3 years now, I believe? It darkened up (the tan color always does anyway) but otherwise perfect.

Yea my dogs' leather collars and leashes take some abuse from the elements, but they have held up really well. From time to time I condition them and they're good as new. (Softer, really.)

Jules has been wearing his leather collar (Paco) for about 4 or 5 years as his only collar and it's odor free and holding up great

Ella's Lead, Bully Mart, Lizard Leather, and Crazy Rebels are some of my favorite leather collar makers.

I am also eager to order from Blue Lynx, once my self-imposed cool down from my previous couple of splurges is over.

Thanks everyone. Love this group

Elsie just got her blue lynx leather collar and I'm thrilled. It's exactly what I wanted and it feels really nice.

I have a Blue Lynx leather collar. I love it.

Collar w/ matching key chain

 

[StompinT]

Love, love, love those collars. Seriously, love.

Tell me about tag collars, and why you'd want one. They are beautiful. I assume you would use another collar when walking / training?

This. I love my Blue Lynx better than my Pacos. Fairly certain once I buy Siri one, I will never buy either a leather collar ever again.

 

[JacksonsMom]

Never even heard of Blue Lynx.... this could be dangerous... -goes to search-

Blue Lynx will be where Brooks' tag collar comes from (he outgrew his last one)

I want a Blue Lynx for Badger so bad. From a health standpoint, I'm happy with slow growth. But the 'must buy all of the nice things' part of me just wants his neck to hurry up and finish.
