Leather Collars
« on: August 11, 2005, 09:59:52 pm »
I just have a question for everybody out there.  I am looking to get my boxer a leather collar.  Her nylon collar seems to be causing her hair loss and irritation.  (to make a long story short she has been allergic to a ton of things- yes she has been tested)  I am looking for something that isn't black or brown, and doesn't have spikes on it.  I had found a nice pink one with silver playboy bunnies on it, it was on ebay the auction ended quickly after i found it and now i don't know where to go.  I am just looking for a nice collar some color other than black or brown that isn't going to cost me a small fortune.  Any ideas?

not sure about leather collers - maybe some kinky shop...lol...  I did see hemp collars with a nice soft lining at petsmart and a few places on line...they look comfy

ebay is  a great resource to get nice leather collars at a decent price.  So is outlet shopping.  I bought a fun red patent leather Coach collar for my Newfie girl Lucille at the outlets for $25.00.    She was SO divine in it!!  I think leather is better for water dogs, at least, since it doesn't hold the "wet dog" smell as much.  Also, to do a search on the web for leather collars brings up all sorts of retailers with tons of options in all price ranges.  george.com has good sales from time to time, for example.

We swear by rolled leather collars.  It doesn't mat up our guys hair.  But, we don't worry about color!! ;)
Can't see the collar through all the Newf hair anyway!!

Now harness, hey, I worry about the color!!  LOL.

I don't know where you could buy leather collars that you want since I usually only see black and brown ones. Another option someone mentioned  trying hemp collars - if I remember correctly there is a company called earth dog that makes them, and I want to say that the BPO member doghealer knows the people who own the company, so you could search her name to find their web address

Kinky shop!  Oh My!  I'm not the only one then!?  HEHEHEHE. 

That might be a good idea really.  or a Harley shop.  sometimes they have leather stuff for dogs.  might be black or orange.

lol..... lins we should have thought of asking you for links to the kinky shops hehe I am still grinnin' over your s & m bra hehe

Ohhh and if I dont remember wrong, One of yours has a leather Harley collar right? Chris wasnt too impressed by my suggestions for collars, but a Harley one would be perfect for him. Chris used to have one, a Harley not a collar lol.... Then he married me and voila he had a mean wife, several kida and lotsa pets instead hehe

Carolyn..... I have ordered a lot from Jeffers too, and like them a lot. Good products, good prices and they are fast.

Ohhhhh a Low Rider!!!!   That's my next one.  A low rider. 
It is a little impractical I agree.  Luckily I have no kids. :) :) :)   
I just got really addicted to riding.  I love my little harley...and with gas prices almost over $2.60 for regular a gallon...I'd never sell it.

Ohhhh chris keeps telling me just how great it would have been to have tha harley now, because the gas is so expensive. Thats when I ask him how many side carts you can hang on one harley, or do they come in family size hehe

I have also used Ebay and I love some of the collars that I have. I really like this lady's store http://stores.ebay.com/EURODOGS_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZQ2d1QQdptZ0QQftidZ2QQsojsZ0QQtZkm

My Lab has longish hair around his neck and we use rolled leather collars to keep his hair from coming out.

one side car only.  I know a lady with a Greyhound ... Sofie rides in the side car all the time.

Ask Chris if he'd like the buy a Trike!  I saw one for sale on my home yesterday.  I'd have to find it again...but I saw it.
