dogmandont 9,802 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 On my second pieps box myself, first one got broke when I threw it over a hedge to a mate standing on a road only thing was he was about 10 foot away from I thought he was. Lol. Thank fcuk the terrier moved as we didn't fancy digging on a busy b road. Always found the pieps spot on and can be bought second hand on ebay, payed 70 quid for my last one out of Italy and it was like brand new. 2 Quote Link to post

I find the new b an f rechargeable collars not so good, I've had 2 stop working not hold a charge within in first 6 months. Any one use a different collar??? Was using the Ortovox collars for a while.....sold them along with Ortovox box (had two Ortovox boxes) still got one. I used to wrap the collar in tape as they held the transmitter in velcro and I was always feared it would give if snagged or got chewed.. they were as accurate as any of the bellmans and still in good working order when I parted with them. Certainly had a longer working life than the rechargeable bellmans, which is what I have at the moment. The bellman collars work with my Remaining Ortovox box and my mammut pulse but as you know yourself they dont last long. 2 Quote Link to post
Rat face 1,655 Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 I could be wrong but didn’t strong stuff make the collar with the pouch for them? Funny that was mentioned because I was thinking about possibly giving another type of collar ago when my bellman packed in end of last season 1 Quote Link to post
Rat face 1,655 Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Did they ever take off? or has the majority all used the bellman? Quote Link to post
