i always keep a collar on , dogs are easier to grab on to if some thing unexpected happens

Agree with everthing Rab has said

lamping its on the collour speaks a thousend words ...better the coller geting bit then the dog ...pre ban of course lol and in the day never had a dog that got court up ????

but most bites are around the muzzle or legs,no collars stop those.

Totaly agree but when you get a good size quarry that is fighting for its life and your dog is grafting its better the collars get bit than the throut, and if your dog is from the right stuff it should be lunging with its legs back like the fighting bull it came out of. Dont you think? atb X38

I dont think it matters,if the collars of or on, but i do think that the width is important,why do you need a collar 3or4 inchs wide,it must restrict the movement in the neck.I have heard people say but my dog pulls,teach it not to!

 

yes deffo,lurchers need wider collers

most dogs will pull when they see or smell game and i dont think you can teach them not too,

general walking yes,thats diffrent,

luchers need wider collers to support there long necks.,personaly mine always have the on when they are out.

never had a lurcher get snagged up.

Firstly, i'd agree with Lofty, our lurchers need a wider collar. From then, well it's down to the dog and what you've put in to it! I've ran with and without, 'controlability' is the key.

 

Never had a dog 'snag' on a collar, seen plenty of collars save dogs necks on pre-ban stuff (especially bull bloods, who tend to 'grind in', laying down on quarry).

 

Got to say, love a dog running free, without lead, without collar, going when it's required and watching a dog 'straining it's neck', the purest form of hunting! Alway's looks better collar free!!

 

When all said an done it's down to you.... Do you have complete control..???

very well said and i completly agree, even if i'm just walking the mutts sometimes i'll take collars off, i love watching the dog run free, its nicer to see the lines of the dog properly too

on around the yard (with tags with both of our cell numbers riveted to them) but we take them off when running coon because they can hold onto the collar and make things hard on the dog.

I keep my dogs in leather collars all the time .. one reason i do it is because i have no other place to hang there id discs which i thought was a requirement

[borntohunt 19]

always keep my collars on the lurchers for two reasons...

 

1. protects their throats if they in do take a scratch on the wire, or if they met a charlie (pre-ban)

2. easier to slip them with a collar on.
