    @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 …

    @jalex said in New pup!: @senjisilly i read in quite a few different places that looking at their teeth is an issue. She wont let me do anything actually but she does let me hold her. Its been a rough week. As with any dog/breed you need to be sure theyre a fit for your family and so far if she is a B I'm struggling to believe itll work out but we're trying! I appreciate the input and guidance, thank you! She's a puppy. Her behaviors are puppy behavior... period. Puppies bite, they do what they can get away with. She is darling, she definitely looks very basenji. But if you really have doubts, contact basenji rescue and let them find her a home while she's still a puppy. Frankly, I suspect you are letting BASENJI close your vision. They have quirks, but overall no better or worse than most breeds. All dogs take patience and that you be at least as persistent as they are. At her age, she doesn't get the option of "won't allow me to do anything." Without yelling, hitting or rough behavior, you really can turn it all around. Right now is the time she must learn you can check her teeth, look between her toes, check her ears, etc. At some point in life, it may be critical, so training her NOW is important. But it can also be relationship building and fun. :) Mary has one of the easiest to follow sites. You just start working on training so that she comes to see you as the one to guide her. To entertain her by helping her use her brain. It will be okay. :) Training on left, issues on right: http://www.clickerlessons.com/index.htm You have a world of help here, you can do this. :)

    These are really things you should be talking to the breeder about….. And if the sire was an import, could be as already noted just take time for the ears to stay up, or they might never.... same with the tail... Note also, it is not uncommon when they start to loose the baby teeth that the ears don't stand up....

    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.

    http://www.woofandwag.com/servlet/the-1/Puppia-Dog-harness,/Detail I use a Puppia harness for Shelby. It's been a life saver since she does like to pull a bit. I can guide her much much easier. We don't leave home without it.

    thanks for the ideas. I think the martingales are great training tools, but not suitable for everyday use (at least not for me). I may try the rolled leather if I can't find any wide/flat collars.
