Collars

[Westyorkshire_lad 402]

Just was think may be over thinking lol but a lot of lads are using thick big heavy collars on they running dogs, surely that wouldn't benefit the running and striking prey? Don't get me wrong not saying anyone's wrong I have used them my self when I was in the terrier game but surely a light weight thin collar would be more beneficial ?

This is mad, this week Iv swapped my lamping collar to a thin lightweight one yet to see the benefits but already on the ball he looks quicker getting down etc,

lol where can you get these thick collers from??

If a dog got caught up on a branch or fence barb wire by the collar I would rather he had a wide collar on rather than a thin 1.

Or if something with teeth grabbed him by the neck the wide collar would offer some protection.

Maybe on teeth I can understand but lads using big collars on dogs for rabbits I don't get each to they own i suppose.

I Never use collars as I once seen a dog get its neck ripped wide ,open due to a sharp branch getting caught under collar .dog was lucky it didn't die but everyone had there own idea about working with or without them .
