Moorside 642 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 To be fair my mate preaches about not running dogs with collars on he reckons its a danger to the dog around hedges etc.....few of my pals use what they call gypsy slips which the collar releases when you let go of the choker leather. I still use a collar and slip though. 1 Quote Link to post

I still use a collar and slip though. Sure a collar can get caught up in a hedge but the chances of sommat fatal are slim. Dont forget how tough a dogs neck can be and how a sensible, seasoned mutt will adjust speed as it approaches and goes in on hedges. More chance of it loosing an eye or breaking its neck with a full on blow, both of which has happened to my dogs. Never had a hedge collar snagg. I've seen those gypsy slips a few times mate, they are a crackin, little used gem. Never learned how to do it though. Quote Link to post
Moorside 642 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) Good arent they, gona give my bigger bitch a go using one come start of the season.

I've got a couple of slips here that don't require a collar but I'm not sure if they are the gypsy slips you mention. Will get a pic up. 1 Quote Link to post
jeemes 4,518 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Good quality leather,and get it nice and supple with neats foot oil. Biothane is a good second and should last longer than leather. I make my own leads collars.. Quote Link to post
bullmastiff 615 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Any pic of gypsy slip mate If you click on the Hargreaves link then there's a photo of one on their site. It's called a quick release collar. Quote Link to post
