Collars and Leads

[sebastianthesingingaubergine]

Can anyone point me to anywhere that sells good quality, but ever so slightly pretty collars and leads The dog has asked for a new set for Christmas.

Or should I just go for leather.... [pondering emoticon]

walk me this way is brilliant

Ooh thanks, some of them are lovely. Just found this too which has some gorgeous ones. Just need to make a decision! She's black so will suit all kinds of colours.

I like Orvis UK for dog stuff. They do personalised collars that I am currently battling with myself about (can't decide if its a good idea or not)
ORVIS

I've just bought a lovely velvet lead from Meggie Moo, and seen the collars she makes and they are fab and very well made

Thre's some gorgeous ones on Walk me this way, really pretty.

Thankyou, I like all of the above. Now have to try not to buy a bandana too. I love a dog in a bandana!!

Milgi coats do a lovely bandanna. I just bought two yesterday

Wondering why I looked at this thread.... My dog doesn't need a collar......my dog doesn't need a collar.....

I love the collars on this website. Pip has the spins and twirls design (9th one on the page when you scroll down) in grey with chrome fittings and it's gorgeous. I plan to buy him a matching lead in the new year.

Needa, 'Oh yes he does ....' - well, it is panto season!

Ooh, those are pretty Moosemama. We have, um, 5 collars . And I was resisting getting a christmas collar really well until I saw Scuttlebutters dogs in theirs and now am failing

Give in to the collar porn.....

another recommendation here for Meggie Moo - her collars and leads are really good quality, with excellent hardware - some collar firms have quite thin D rings etc - not Meggie. Her delivery times are very quick and her prices are excellent. If you have more time, 2 Hounds are also very good but not cheap - though I have leads and collars from them that are still looking brand new after 7 years, so you are investing in quality.

And of course I'd be delighted if you wanted a festive bandana.... - Milgi Coats have an excellent range and you're not too late for posting guaranteed for pre-Christmas delivery..... And did I mention our wonderful range of festive coats..?

Our local pet shop Town pets do a range called big and small .
They have gorgeous collers harness and leads all matching .
we visited at weekend to treat our darling pup called Blue to a beautiful blue leather coller and lead .
Matches his blue coat perfectly :)

Collar porn? A whole new world I had no idea about, and feel I am being lured into after posting a quite innocent question about buying a new one.

Damn you all!!

I have several in my basket from Meggie Moo... Decisions decisions, and I am going to be so late for the school run!!

one of my hounds needs a bandana will be browsing later

Have ordered. Very excited. In the end I went for this one

Thanks for all the recommendations, I've a feeling she is going to be gaining an extensive wardrobe.

Oo, that's going to look stunning on a black dog.

That is luvverly Sebastian

I AM JUST LETTING YOU KNOW (IN CAPITALS), THAT I AM NOT AT ALL HAPPY WITH YOU GUYS FOR LEADING ME INTO TEMPTATION, ONE GLASS OF WINE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH LAST NIGHT AND THE DOG HAS A NEW COLLAR [SMILE]

What did you get

Cmotdog is rocking a skull and crossbones bandanna today and looking very cool

www.dogcollardesigns.co.uk/Fun-and-Funky.html

Design is 'on target', in blue. I am tempted for 'orange flower muddle' for the new puppy, a black Cocker.

I am considering many more, a whole new world of retail opportunity has opened up to me

I liked the skull and crossbones design and a bandana sounds ace!

Oops, that'll be my fault, sorry! Lovely collar though and the orange would look fab on a black Cocker.

Delivery can take a while from that site, but it's because she makes them all herself to order and I have to say the one we got Pip is really well made and still looks as good as new, despite being regularly caked in mud. I got one of the sewn in dog-tags put into his as well so he has that with the main/legally required details and this tag with his name and "I'm Chipped" on.

Flippin' dog needs yet another new coat now. He had a new one, two inches too big at the beginning of November and it's already too short for him. Trying to hang on until we've had December's pay day before I get one though, not least of all because I really want to get him a Milgi housecoat as well!

Not too worried about the delivery time, that will stop the moaning from DH about the number of packets arriving at present, being Christmas. Ddog actually has a really lovely tartan collar at the moment, bought for a few quid from one of our equine shops, they often have some fab doggy related items, most folk with horses seem to have a dogs in tow and most equine shops have cottoned on to this.

I am not going for the coat option, not for a Springer!

Off to buy the orange one now
