What collars do your dog's wear?
What collars do your dog's wear?
I'm home from work watching the baby today so I figured I get a thread going. What collar (style, width, color etc) do your dog's wear when home and when hunting. My boys have always worn a 1" O ring collar in orange at all times. I need to order a couple of new collars so what's everyone else doing?
Re: What collars do your dog's wear?
Mine wear 1" blaze orange Tufflex o-ring when hunting and the 1" Filson leather o-ring any other time. The Filson collar is a little more expensive but it's really high quality and always looks nice (plus I get a discount ). I put the brass name plate that you can get from gundog supply on both.

At home, they have whatever the lady puts on them. Although I let them breathe and not wear one in the house for a day or two. Hunting I use the tuflex collars. I have bright pink (all lady dogs) and orange.

In the field my GSP wears a 1 1/2 wide SunGlo Duralon collar with a center ring from Dogs Unlimited ( apologies to the forum host ) but for everything else she wears K9 Komfort 1" leather with buffalo hide liner center ring collar from Gun Dog Supply - about $45 but it is the best leather collar I have ever come across and recommend it highly to anyone who asks.
The Sunglo collar comes in 2" width as well but it doesn't come with a center ring in that width or I would have bought the 2" wide collar. I like the wider collar for hunting in case I have to pick her up or get her attention and the extra visibility is nice also - this collar is about $15

Have a few that she rotates through. During the summer/training she is normally in a Day-Glo lime green 1" O ring with a reflective strip. During the hunting season she wears a blaze 1" O ring by Remington.

I am really liking the leather feel collars from lion country. I have the orange for boy's & Pink for girls. I have 8 of them & they are going on 3 years old, still in great shape. They wear them 24/7 - 365

Mine rotates through blaze O-ring, braided camo, braided neon green (AKC HT courtesy, I heard), a blue flotation one my sister got hdr for Christmas (as if it would help ) and running around in the buff. She gets most excited with the blaze that she associates with birds, though!!

At home nothing because between the two of them they always find a way to tear them up. When we go out a 1 inch nylon collar with a center o ring if she is off leash away from the house add shock collar. When hunting also add a shock collar.

My labs don't wear collars while hunting, especially waterfowl. My pointers wear cheapy one from nite lite. The day glow with my name and number on them. When they wear out I spend 7 dollars ea on new ones.
