    @Janneke:

    Wow!! Beautiful collars!! Does he also make them in brown leather?! :D I'm looking for a brown leather, tapered collar :D Only problem with these is that the pups can't walk off leash with them, can they?

    LOL, I think you might be in luck. He does make them in brown leather. He calls it Chestnut (it is actually natural saddle colour). The style (martingale) I got, no, they can't go off leash with them on. But he also makes a buckle style of the tapered collar which would work perfect for that.

    I took a pic of his flyer that I picked up at the dog show so you can see the different types of collars/leads available:

    When Liyah & Ruby start lure coursing next year I'm getting the quick release tapered leads. My pics don't do the collars justice - really amazing craftwork.

    He doesn't have a website, but does have email and I'd be shocked if he didn't ship overseas.

    Honestly I found the prices to be super reasonable considering the quality. The leads were $22ea for the 4ft, $28ea for the 6ft, and the collars were $52ea ($30 for the non-tooled plain version martingale). The buckle hound collar non-tooled version is $25 - the tooled version isn't on his price list as it is a new item. Shipping from MA to Maine was $5.

    Needless to say, I was a good customer at Christmas :D:D:D. LOL, anything I can do to help the economy! :D:D

    Oh, and even though the chestnut collars show contrasting stitching, you can order them with matching stitching instead. The photo is just a mixture of the options available. Oh, and I have the price list (although I think he said he was increasing prices slightly after the New Year). Let me know if you want prices on anything else :D:D.

    I told him when I made my order that I was posting all this out here. :D:D

    I love the one with the fur on the inside! And I like the white stitching on the chestnut leather.. :) It only needs some decoration :D And maybe 3 inches is a bit too much…

    Awesome! I've been looking for a leather quick release lead for coursing. Zoni's breeder has ones for her dogs (not as nice as these though) and they seem so durable. Thanks for sharing. The tooled ones are gorgeous.

    very nice collars! I too like the ones with fur very much!
    But I prefer the collars with a buckle ( is that the right word ? ) I found a leather studio in germany who makes exactly what I want, they are so pretty and of such a perfect quality and not expensive and they made mine with my own design to stick!
    still these martingale with leash collars would be very easy to use at racingtracks and coursing, hmz maybe I contact them :D

    Yes, that contact info is right - thanks for posting it. I had a hard drive failure on my computer and all contact info was on there, so sorry I didn't get back on here sooner with it

    I need to sync my iPhone w/computer once in a while so I'm not out of business when one or the other doesn't work. :D :D :eek:

    I got a package from Bolduc yesterday with their invoice and it matches the numbers you've posted.

    Please post pics of your collars :D. I've seen a number of collars from companies overseas (that don't ship here) that I would have loved to order had they only shipped here.

    I will take some pictures of them and my dogs wearing them :) I have only ordered 2 for my ibizans and 1 for my galgo, but my basenji male and other ibizan hound will get similar too, just need to think of a nice design :D I try to do this this weekend so please be patient :D
    I also like the fact that they put metal rings on the holes for the buckle, so it doesnt tear out the hole, as most collar makers, put only the holes in it and not metal ring and then sometimes they tear out, ehm I hope you get my point, it is hard to explain in english …

    Very common to scratch. Usuually the breeder will begin to put collars on pups at 3 to 4 weeks to get the used to it…. can take weeks. Chewing leashes is certain common for babies....

    I have used Nick Russell's collars for many years and they do not wear out. I have never had even the most wily basenji slip out of one and escape. And he will custom-make them for you if you send your ribbon to him. We are lucky that so many good products are available, everyone is bound to find something to fit your needs.

    Janneke, maybe they will ship one to you? I know that WWW won't deal directly with owners, but maybe some of the vendors/stores that carry them will be willing to ship to you? Wizard, they usually use those collars for whippets and other sighthounds because the head is very narrow and not much bigger than the neck. Collars easily slip off so they often use a martingale style. Also they make them extra wide so they don't cut into the dog, it makes it more comfortable since they tend to have longer thin delicate necks. They're not heavily muscled like other breeds. And if they pull like Basenjis, it's good to have a wider collar to spread the pressure out! :) Less likely to damage the trachea.

    I would suggest waiting until you get the little guy. Indi didn't have a name for abut 2 days. We had all these names in mind and none of them fit. Thats my two cents anyway (oh ya and because we did that I have a cool costume for him on haloween but I don't think I am going to get any cooperation on his end)

    This one is a tuffy to say the least :) I think everyone has an opinion on what works & doesn't work for them. And I can honestly tell you that I have tried a number of collars AND leads LOL :D Talk about trial and error. My poor husband is so confused now he's like WHAT COLLAR WHAT LEAD?? In the end we use a martingale leash (simple a martingale collar attached to a 6ft leash) to walk them & at first we used a gentle leader or snoot loop to train to walk nicely. Training them with this takes time & lots of effort. When they go on their extra long (25 ft) exploring walk (I only use this in large field or hiking when I know no one else or no other dogs will be around) I use their harnesses BUT the harness I use attaches to the lead at the top of their backs not in front. So really it's whatever is more effective for you & your dogs. I got all 3 at the All Hounds & I REALLY love their service! They are really nice & helpful. http://www.allhoundsapparel.com Short Story on choke chains: I worked with a trainer who used choke chains & I did not like using this because I nearly choked my little girl to death once while we were attacked by an off leash dog. It was an accident & she was fine but I could have really hurt her. I also think the choke chains have a negative reward for a dog while walking. If they lunge at something…person, dog, squirrel, bird etc...they will choke themselves & associate something negative with that.
