What do you think about this collar?

I was thinking of picking up the blacked out version for my dog. His neck is currently mesuring about 12" and he is almost 20 weeks old. Is there any kind of harness that can be sure to fit my dog for a while because with this collar he should be able to grow into it before having to buy a bigger one.

 

I would email the company and ask them if their black hardware is black metal or plastic.

I wouldn't use plastic hardware on our dogs. They're far too strong for plastic hardware.

 

It says on the website all hardware is brass.

 

I would STILL email the company ask about their black hardware.

unless it's anodized brass, or something like that, I haven't heard of black brass hardware before.
I mean, I guess they could paint it, but I would still email and ask them.
Because at face value, that's not brass. I've seen chrome-plated and nickel-plated brass, but not black...plated brass.

 

I think you can get better from stillwater, and other places.

 

stillwater is the shit! lol

 

Are you all talking about stillwater kennel supply?

 

Do stillwater make bigger 2" 4ply collars, ive got one for my girl shes tiny and it fits her, they dont fit my boy.

 

ive got the same issue, i ordered two collars for my dogs but theyre necks were to big that we couldnt use the velcro so it just stays exposed collecting all kinds of misc. shit in it lol

 

The 2" stillwater collars never fit Ella correctly (her neck was exactly 16", though), but the 1 1/2" show collars could fit her.

I just ordered a silver on blue seatbelt collar for my white pup, and a 1" plain black nylon collar for my red with black mask pup.

 

My bulldog Chopper is about 30 pounds with a 12-13 inch neck. Would a 2 inch collar work with him?

 

Not yet. I would go with a 1 1/2" collar for him, or even a 1".

 

1.5" and i wouldnt waste my time with that collar
there is a gentlemen on here who sells very nice collars for the same price
use the search tool and im sure it will be very easy to find

 

stillwater has got the "big dog" collars too. They are the 2" 4ply. I got one on my boy.

 

I have never had any problems with the collars I got from stillwater. They are durable, and work really well for me. Are you using it as a collar for a chain set up or just around the house?

 

Hmmm. from what i was aware these are the ones i got, but like LWG it doesnt velco up.
Its algood tho he already has a 2" from a shop here in NZ
Just thought they were for the likes of mastiffs, im sure his necks not thicker then them.

 

Naww Im using it for around the house and out and about since my dog stays in the house. I thought a nice looking collar and i liked that it included a free id tag rivited into collar. I will be looking into the stillwater collars when he gets a little bigger tho.

 

Ohhh I almost forgot I went ahead and ordered this one last night with the id tag. Ill post some pics and review the material when I get it in.

 

Maybe you should get in contact with Stillwater. Im sure he would be happy to answer any questions you have. His collars are very nice too.

 

Mr. Stillwater was going to ship 15 2" and 5 1.5" collars to Ireland for 200$ I though that was some very competitive pricing lol
