The Hot Rod. Shown is the 1-1/2 and 2" with the border. I got the 1" wide which does not have the borders.
I really liked this one too but thought I would buy one and see how it goes.

They are good collars and I have gotten a leash replacement but the nylon irritates Buddy's neck. Right now he's wearing a hemp collar which seems to be better. I just ordered a collar from 2 Hounds that's lined with cuddle satin.
I had Malu in an "earth dog" hemp martingale. One day I removed the collar I accidentally left it within his reach. Turns out that he must like hemp because he ate eveything but the D rings. Usually he'll just chew on/tear up things but with the Hemp he actually ingested it. Luckily, it worked its way out.

The Lupine harness is sturdy and works really well but when they are new, there have sharp edges (from where the threads are sewn), which irritates the skin. So I just used a nail file to smooth the sharp edges/corners.
I use a harness with a lead but Cosmo also has a soft martingale collar with a phone number stitched on it. :)

Oh, oh, oh! I have to recommend Collarmania (http://www.collarmania.com). Going to order some for the pups when the youngest get older. :) I've had a few collars from them before, and loved them!

I bought a collar similar to what Nobarkus pictured –- however, I found the buckles were too heavy for my little girl. They dragged the collar down (yes it was fitted correctly) and when clipped to a leash they caused the collar to twist because of the weight. Pretty though.

Question…..Why do 'hounds' have the nice hound collar? You know which one I am talking about? The one that is thicker around the front of the neck and then thinner around the back? What is the benefit and why only for hounds...?

I just bought Buddy a solid red hemp collar in March. One washing and it turned pink. So I emailed a pic to Earth Dog. They responded quite quickly and said their newer collars have a better dye and will be sending me a free replacement.

We use beautiful martingales from the dutch site www.halsbanden.com - maybe she ships to the US….
The leash we use is what is called in Holland a police leash, with fasteners on both sides:

When I want my 2 B's close, I can use one leash.
