Recommend me a collar

[borderterrierr]

I need a collar that will look nice, sturdy, can cope with off leads tramping through bushes and swamps and god know what else. We don't use it for a lead because we use a different harness for that. It needs to hold air tag, collar tag and gps tracker.

It occurred to me earlier that I've never changed her collar from when she was a puppy because she just didn't grow out of it 🤦‍♀️

These are lovely. I have bought a few over the years and they last well and also wash well.

@Aurea I love those!! Thank you!

Petiquette collars are lovely , our dog has a couple of their house collars and they are beautifully made .

Pear Tannery on Etsy do fabulous leather collars, loads of colours and great prices.

Out of interest why do you have an AirTag as well as a gps tracker?

@Burnamer because she's a shit and one or the other seems to fall off when she's off lead! 🤦‍♀️

🤣 if you have to change the gps unit at any point, check out Tractive. I’ve found them sturdy and they will send out replacement units / fixtures when needed.
also - surely you have to post a picture of your dog?

I have used Ancol rolled leather ones for over thirty years. Sturdy, unobtrusive and last for years, especially if I remember to use leather balm occasionally.

Biothane collars for my dogs as we walk a lot on muddy moors with rivers and bogs to jump into

Just wipe them over with a cloth if/when they get muddy - last for ever and come in many colours. can get buckles or clip fastenings so can slide things onto the collar easily.

@Burnamer after our most recent walk. She escaped the harness and I had to use an emergency slip lead, im so tempted to ditch the harness and just the slip! She's so small!

I use an indi dog Houdini harness on my terrier , it’s impossible to get out of it .

I use flexitags, flexicollars are wipable, adjustable & you can have the tag on it already engraved & non dangly, which with a hedge surfing spaniel I appreciate! They are also really easy to message & talk to regarding sizing. (Don't work for them- just really impressed with our one!)

Shes adorable OP!!!

Op what gps tracker do you recommend? I’m looking for one but bamboozled!

My dog swims and all sorts so I use this one and it is amazing. Just wipes clean 😀

Our Border terrier is an adventure buddy and we have collars from Cornish Dog Wear on Ebay. Her Harris tweed one is lovely. Washes well and wears well.
