morton 5,368 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Decent leather dog collars are easy enough to source and you don,t need to spend over a tenner,even these will last the dog out and possibly the next,some of the heavy and bulky overpriced stuff out there is rarely if ever needed,imo,especially as I won,t run a dog with its collar on,the bigger and bulkier and dearer,the more chance the mutt will get snagged in it,especially running. 1 Quote Link to post

Tiercel 6,986 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Everybody has a different view point on what constitutes a good collar, personally for me it's leather. From the feedback he has received for his collars SS collars are tops for what they are. Not my cup of tea, but plenty of people like them. If you want a collar that wil last, go for the SS collar if you want one that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and will last, go for a good leather collar. TC Quote Link to post
Cleanspade 3,323 Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 i'm not bigging up SS collars but my lurcher snapped a leather collar and broke a lead at the swivel. he was hit by a car the second time so i sourced stronger collar and leads. had them for years now they are 100% what he says. and worth every penny. especially if you have a powerfull dog peace of mind is worth an extra pound .
