Good lurcher collers

[PeakOil 352]

Bah forget about collars for your mutts, who makes the best collars to put on our peg?

[Cleanspade 3,322]

quality collars and leads. i you want something that is well made. and that will give you peace of mind. these will fit the bill big or small he makes em all.

[gnasher16 30,212]

Must admit i think all this " collar will last longer than the dog " thing is a little bit daft......who cares if you need to spend 15 - 20 quid once in 10 years....or twice......the difference must add up to about 5 pence per week !!...ok i understand the sales pitch but in reality i think the strength thing is all a little bit over the top..........a strong bulldog on a chain then yes absolutely as the collar is the weak link in any chain set up....but for running dogs or bull cross types i dont quite get it

For what its worth i think SS collars are as good as any ive used or seen todays times or yesterdays.

That's what the first ones were made for, as the story goes, I sold one to a lad who came on here (I wasn't a member then) he was very happy with it, posted some pics and I started getting a few orders for the 2" ones off lads with Bull Lurchers, in truth I hadn't seen a Bull Lurcher close up until Chirk show 5 or 6 years ago, when I asked a lad who had a big strong Bull X that was getting a lot of attention if he'd like to try a collar FOC, he put one on his dog was happy with it and again posted on here, more orders followed ............ and that was how I met Bosun11.

 

The 2" collars I make were originally made to hold bulldogs, they were adopted by the lurcher lads for their strength.

Gnasher if you spend 10 minutes hold a bull x while another dog is running you'll soon see why they need strong collars I'd say they were as strong or stronger than a pure bulldog.

 

The gear I make I will admit is over engineered, that's the whole point of it, to be too strong.

 

It's been said a few times that they are too strong and I lose out on sales because they don't need replacing, but that's the way I like it, my gear is a matter of personal pride and achievment to me, not primarily to earn a living from, I like the way the majority of my orders come from recommendations of others, it makes me proud to do something well.

I can tell you take pride in your work ss by the way you don't like criticism. A lot of praise on this thread from guys that I reckon from reading on here over the years, know there stuff. Keep up the good work ss, no one has said they've used your collar and it's failed, just folk sometimes prefer leather, me included. But then again, I've never tried alternatives lol.

Good stuff and i certainly wouldnt question your expertise on the subject as the proofs in the pudding so to speak.....and certainly better to have something a little over engineered than a little under of course.......as regards which type of dog would test a collar more im sure some of these big bull crosses are far stronger than a pure bulldog.........but on a yard of multiple dogs a bulldog is often stressing a collar for 20 - 24 hours per day 7 days a week 52 weeks a year,not just a few hours per day out in the field.......from what ive seen of your collars they are strong,compact and durable........for the type of dogs i like durability probably being the more important factor than outright strength.......

Its like for basic lead walking i used to like using them horse lunging leads they were simple and great for the job.......but im not sure id trust them attached to a dog over a 24 hour day.....

I remember years ago seeing with my own eyes a dog physically remove one of them old ed reid collars off his own neck ......edited to add....off the dogs own neck that is !

i'm sure he does mate.

[Rake aboot 4,936]

I like the look of a well made leather collar and leash as well and I have a Bellman and Flint set up for the lurcher which looks smart.

 

But the SS one was made for me, then altered to suit my preferances and is the absolute bollocks for working. The D is big for slips and even for getting a grip on the mutt. The material is strong as f**k ! big style, you could hang a car from it I reckon and it looks cool.

 

 

People even recognise it as a Strong Stuff so you must be doing somit right Aaron.

 

Oh by the way. I want one for my Spaniel along with a long tether.(maybe 2 tethers, with clips at both ends) Just for pegging the liitle f****r down when I am in the camper.

I`m at work the noo so don`t know the size but will PM yeh soon mate.

[bohemigsboy 4]

i have bought about 7 collars from strong stuff in the past .... they are as good if not better than the ones i bought years ago from o'brians in the states !
