  • All mine wear one at all times in the house or not I just put it on them when they where little and after a couple days or fussing there used to it . Acaully now when i take it off to bath them ect. They go around the house looking for it till i put it back on lol we call it there "necklace" the kids usally like to kid around with them if it's off and say there running around the house "naked" lol
    I like one on them because of there tags {they are micochipped} but i figure if they get out {knock on wood} and a person in the neigborhood has them they can't scan them like the animal control can and around here good luck getting them to come out if it's not between 9a and 5 pm So that way any person can see where they live and call me :)

  • My dogs wear collars at all times in case they escape the house/yard. They are microchipped, but that's not fool proof {and the finders have to know to look}.

    I use round leather collars with buckles. I just make sure the collars are loose – not quite loose enough to slip off. They don't seem to faze the dogs at all.
    Of course, Bryan has collars on his pups from a young age, so maybe they're just used to them from the start.

  • @tsjoe007:

    What size are the Martigales, Mauigirl ?? (cm or mm if possible)
    I recently bought some fine handmade silk Marti's but they look so small to me …

    Thanx;)

    I'm still at work so I won't get up the measurements until later….hopefully tonight.

  • I don't collar anymore unless it's for "the walk" (or I have a house full of visiting college kids–you hope no one leaves the gate open, but you never know--collars go on the dogs this Friday:o )

    My two B.'s now treat their collars as their favorite toy/food when they see them as they know it's walking time, and that's their most favorite time of any day:D

    Remember me , Mauigirl ? :confused: ;)

  • measuring right now!!!!!!!

  • Okay I actually went and found the e-mail I sent in to order the collar. The collars are from Northwind Catalog. Their medium collar is adjustable from 10" to 16"
    On the first collar I ordered I requested that it be 3" smaller than the medium size (Zip, girl), and the second I ordered I asked it to be 2" smaller (Riley, boy, bigger). In hindsight the medium as is would have been fine. On both of our dogs the collars are adjusted to just about as big as they can go so 13" on Zip and 14" on Riley (his is snugger going over his head but still loose around his neck). And the allowance looks to be 3" (that extra loop in a martingale that make it instantaneously adjustable)

    Sorry that took me so long, I ended up staying at work til 1am that night!

  • Welcome to the forums! Hope you get tons of information! :)

    My Shango doesn't wear a collar at all in the house, I too, only use it for walking.

    Thank you for saying these wonderful things about the mature Bs. My Black Magic lived to 171/2 and only started going down the last 6 months of her life. There is plenty of love in the B's without so much of the puppitis that infects them until age 5 or 6! Cherry just wants to do what is best for these 4. So thank you for the words and send anyone searching to us to get them connected. God Bless, Dawn

    @wizard: They look like they are perfectly matched - and neither one looks "fat". I have uploaded the contrasting photos. Go have a kick

    Giza swam in the Atlantic once when we were out walkin' at low tide and the tile came in. The Atlantic in Canada is pretty cold!
