Collar Question

[Lee and Manny]

Only just had my big man Manny. And we are looking into a collar just for aesthetics, as we use his harness for walks, to attach some tags too. So my question is which is the better collar for my boy?

I use RC pets collar for my dogs, really good. I also only walk my dogs on a harness and the collar is only on them for the decoration and tags.

We used harnesses for all of our bulldogs and Millie until a few weeks ago when we discovered 5/8” soft lines slip leads. They’re actually fun, it’s strange to say. The rope is thick and soft and has a good weight to it. You can adjust it to fit really easily and it cinches when they pull. I think the thick rope and the simplicity of it all looks really cool on a bulldog too

My daughter found them at a random vendor at a show we were at and I owed her a souvenir. I’m really glad I did.

I initially used a figure-8 harness on Porkchop but he often pulled when walking. The pressure of those straps seemed to be constricting his breathing. So I bought a Julius K-9 harness. The straps are much wider, adjustable for the chest front and girth, and it easily slips on. There is also a handle on top that you can grab if necessary. This is the best harness ever, IMO. Of course, you would want to wait until your dog is grown. Chewy sells them but selection is better at the Julius K-9 site. The logos on the side are velcro (It comes with the Julius logo) but you can order one with your dog's name or "Do Not Pet", among others.

We use harness. Collar only for tags, not worn when at home.

One time, Angus, just out of the blue, decided to jump off the dock into deep waters. Good thing he had a harness on. We were able to pull him up with the leash and harness without either one breaking. Whew! We would have had to fish both my husband and the dog out with a boat!

If you're looking for a solid, stylish collar, I’d totally recommend checking out some leather options. I’ve tried a few, and they really hold up well over time. Plus, they get better with age, like a good pair of boots. One that I’ve liked a lot is from Ranch Hand – they’ve got these tooled leather dog collars that are both durable and look really cool. They have that classic look but are super comfortable for your dog. You can take a look at their collection https://ranchhand.store/dogs/tooled-leather-dog-collars/ . It’s always nice to get something that lasts and looks great. Just make sure to measure your dog’s neck right so you get the perfect fit!

Rolled leather if you can find it is a great collar. We use a rolled leather collar for obedience and rally.
