Couple of pics of my wee 9 month old pup on a walk today. Would a lurcher collar suit him in your opinion? Im not sure either way

Probably wrong, but I got told its harder for the dog to pull out of the collar as apposed to a normal collar, something to do with a whippets head not been much wider than its neck, can't remember where I heard this.

Personally I think it's just a traditional thing I can't see any benefit from it but I could be wrong lol maybe gaffer, Rio, strong stuff etc have looked into it more as they make them???

most sighthounds have long necks . ,a wide collars fits better wether its cut or shaped is neather hear nor there

could be a few reasons. does takestrain off the front of their throat.

 

WUYANG- the collar you are thinking of is a martingale collar. kind of like a choker design for sighthounds. it doesnt choke but once pulled it is then tight on the dogs neck and therefore doesnt allow the dog to back out of it.

 

LURCHER88- id be careful with letting the dog play with sticks. a stick cost me over 600quid and very nearly a dead dog.

just took this to show you a martingale. the collar you are refering to, not a tapered collar as the topic is about

 

 

 

tapered

Blue pocket rocket - Did the dog run with the stick and the end of the stick dig into the ground at full speed?

 

Which is better ... tapered or martingale?

I prefer tapered collars just like them

no. i was throwing the stick for her and it stuck in the ground like a javelin. she jumped straight onto it and impaled the back of her throat. it then snapped off so i couldnt see it and i carried on walking them and throwing sticks for her (mental lab x).

 

the vets on the phone said to leave her til morning but wheb she choked trying to eat i took her straight the emergency vets. she jumped in the car and when i opened the boots to get her out she had passed out in a pool of blood and had to be carried into the vets who performed a life saving operation.

 

NEVER let them play with sticks or golf balls etc.

 

i use the tapered for walking my dogs as i like them.

 

the martingale is just a house collar and was an error by the maker of it as i ordered a non martingale house collar but its fine and is smart.

ive been told by many people its to stop the soft tissue on the neck being scarred with a thin collar, stops sists etc, but like i say just what ive heard, makes sense if you think about it, a thin collar cutting into the soft tissue on the dogs neck

the wide collar came from the greyhound having a long neck helps from choking the fookers, sighthounds and lurchers both have the long neck like the greyhound so both benefit from wearing a wider collar hope this helps
