Leeview 791 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Coursing greyhounds wore wide collars usually knitted from wool foxhounds,harriers and beagles dont wear collars, gundogs,sheep and cattle dogs dont either police dogs wear a choke chain slipped over their head. just my take on the topic and none of our dogs wear collars Y.I.S Leeview Quote Link to post
artic 595 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Always on Foxy, even at bedtime and story time. They can reduce an injury. Not noticed my dogs run/strike differently with them on. Yes control is the key really. Well said Malt! Quote Link to post

Dan Edwards 1,134 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 My greyhounds dont ever have a collar on. No need for one in my opinion. My running hounds and coon hounds always had collars on though. Quote Link to post
Hannah4181 260 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Mine wear them all the time, they never come off. Used to be collar free until the lurcher wandered 3 miles away from the farm after a bitch in heat . . . . having a collar on with an ID tag would have saved me a whole lot of heartache! My dogs are all pretty much off lead in open farmland, stables and yards all day and for that reason they are all collared and tagged. All three are chipped as well, but through experience someones much more likely to read a tag and pull out their mobile, than they are to take the dog to be scanned. Quote Link to post
