I really like the new design that Paco is going to be adding to their site. It's called the Stardust:
Nova has a Paco martingale and it isn't that heavy at all. Maybe his was made differently? I don't know their colors well enough to tell you what color it is. They don't typically do the style of collar that I prefer. His is fishtail shaped which is (in my opinion) much more elegant on a long sighthound neck than a normal flat collar. I don't mess with martingales on the Beezers much though since their heads are bigger than my Greyhounds' and Galgo's. I typically just put leather fishtail/European/lurcher buckle collars on them. Nova was chosen for his as a tester dog. It is 3 inches wide in the front and tapers to an inch. If you like the style maybe you can ask them to make you one? The color really stands out on him.
I actually really like that fishtail shaped look too and own another collar that is shaped that way that looks nice on him. I wouldn't mind something shaped that way that tapers down a bit at the buckle. I definitely don't want to go less that 2" at the widest point. I was looking at him quite a bit today in his CGC prep class and he was wearing a 2" collar and I think he pulls off 2" pretty well. Too much less than that looks weird on his neck.
I also like the idea that was suggested about mixed metals. I would have to see how it looks before I decided to mix metals though. I'm planning to add a tiny bit of color for pizazz, maybe a rhinestone here and there like I've seen on some Xdogs or maybe instead of rhinestones I could have them add a colored spot here or there like the spots they use on the JoJo. I really like their white and black spots.
