I FINALLY found it, in the corner of our canning room in the basement, sitting in a puddle of floodwater we'd missed.

Other than the nasty splotchiness of the brass... look how GOOD the condition is!!!'

If I were the maker of this collar, I would love to see this picture as a testament to my product! You might consider shooting an email along with the picture off to Paco. :)

Definitely send the picture! That's pretty amazing. And that brass can probably be polished up nicely again with some Brasso or something.

That's a great idea to send the pictures in!


Just went to their website - I know where Quinn's collar is coming from after she's done growing! They have beautiful collars.

Love it! As I alluded to on FB, seriously considering using this as testimonial somewhere... awesome!

PS - actually considering leaving it as-is, the brass looks kind of neat all tarnished, and it's got a good story to go with it. ;)

Paco collars are wonderful and sturdy:) Ginger has worn hers daily for over a year and it still looks great:) We're getting Goose her own once she finishes growing, since we finally have a Chow with a coat that allows the collar to be seen.:) Poor Aesop is too furry:(

I'm thinking of getting Quinn a Paco Collar for her birthday. It will eaither be Paco, EllasLead (Buster has one of those and it awesome, 10 months old now and still looks great and is as strong as ever) or a Ruthless collar (leather collars made in Aus) but I'm not sure yet.

Maybe it will inspire the maker to create a 'weathered' look in the line! Because I'd, personally, pay for it.

Is the leather nice and soft?

It's smooth to the touch, but it's not very pliable - but there are no rough edges, everything is buttery smooth. I don't know if that makes sense.

I've found that the double-layer Paco collars never get floppy-soft, but they do get very smooth-soft. They're very solid collars. :)
