What type of collar does your Basenji wear??

    We use martingale collars for walking…but their tag collars are flat buckle types.

    But all the collars are fleece lined so their fur doesn't rub off. Although the new Xmas collars I ordered will be satin lined :)

    We use martingale collars for walking

    we do as well. we had buckle collars come unbuckled on walks and once we tried the Martingale collars (like the horse briddle?) we never looked back.

    Funny how we could only get them at dog shows.

    What size are basenji's, I measured ours and they were about 14'' around?

    As for leashed our dog figured out how pop the non swivel clasp leash, he would jerk sideways real quite and just popped right off!

    luckily he just stopped, surprised like what happened?

    I keep collars on my dogs at all times, w/ID tags, rabies tags, and AVID tag. If they do escape the door or fence, they are easily identifed, And the finders will know right away where they belong.

    I don't trust that anyone will automatically think to go have them scanned for microchips, although my dogs are chipped for any time that they may escape and be found w/out a collar.

    I had a nylon type collar, but my 9 month old male chewed it up while it was on him. Now he has a leather collar with spikes and studs. He looks so good with that because he's a tri and it fits his look well.

    @jys1011:

    fleece lined so their fur doesn't rub off / satin lined

    I think that's what I'd like to try for him. Where to do get the lined collars?

    TIA,

    Mine are naked at home, and have safety-choke collars by Nick Russell of Bluegrass Collars and leads that we use for walks. They snug up when the dog pulls so they can't slip the collar, but you adjust it so it does not actually choke them. He has a web site and makes the collars to order, less than $20 for most and they last for years! I use the 1 inch or wider, it is easier on the throat.

    We do not keep collars on ours at home. They are chipped and when we used to do it, one chewed the collar off the other one and ate parts of it, then threw them up about 2 weeks later. That was it on collars when we were not around.

    We also only use harnesses to walk them. I just do not trust a collar because they can wriggle out too easy, even the Martingale style we just tried on our puppy.

    rockinmommy-we got fleece lined collars at ALL HOUNDS. I like their policy. If your dog chews up his collar they replace it for free :D Check it out!

    And the lady majestic martingale collars uses satin to line her collars…aahh soft :)

    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.

    @Thana: she does have basenji characteristics then apart from her colours and looks.- i also think she must have some basenji blood! She is lovely and lucky no matter what! adorable little face:))))) Having read about the characteristics I think she does. The lady with the basenji that we met also commented on some of the things she was doing as "very basenji" (eg. standing on her back legs so she could see what was going on). Has a lovely wrinkly forehead too. Got very frustrated with me earlier and did her funny bark, more of a wierd howl really. She is def one of a kind. Its a shame we have to have her spayed (not that I could ever justify letting her have a litter).

    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.

    Is this Nick Russell of MastersPride? If so, we have a leather collar that does not slip down the neck and works well with them pulling. I put it high on the neck and Talker and Savannah will stop. But these collars that you posted the pixs looks really nice. Do you have the website?
