Collars and leads.

Hi my name is gem and I have a 7 month old red staffy girl called Lola. I gave been really disappointed in the range and prices of leads and collars in the pet shops by me and decided I could do better. So I would like to share with you all Lola's leads and collars my new venture I hope you enjoy. .

hi
they look cool. do you use para-cord?

Thank you yes they are made from 550 paracord

that's american type-III. the only thing that bothers me is the plastic claps. are they good and strong?

I haven't had one break yet I have some bigger ones on order and I do have some metal buckles but the finish isn't quite as tidy. I never have my girlie clipped straight to any coller for these reasons she is always on a harness as I feel that no collar is totally secure and I couldn't bare to loose her

fair point and i agree that a metal buckle would spoil the look.
i think i will order if you can do me one in red and 1.5 inches wide.

Yes of course I am waiting for the wider buckles to arrive they have been shipped so should be here Friday I will create a custom listing for you to send payment and then I can start making it for you. Would you like just red or red and another colour ????

just red please as tessa is black

Ok no worries that will look smart the clip will be black if that's ok as I can't get them coloured

yeah that's fine

I have created a custom listing for you I will just need you to measure her neck for me where her collar normally sits

Hi Gem, welcome to the forum

Unfortunately your link has had to be removed as this is an advert free site. Am happy for you to post pictures of your collars but not the link to the shop sorry.

Ok how do I post pics then please ??

Here's a link Gem https://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.com/t12017-how-to-post-a-photos-onto-the-forum

By all means you can state that you make and sell them but no direct links to shops etc please.

You could of course get people to google your wares of course

Ok that's great thank you sorry didn't realise it wasn't aloud

lovely colours do these come in a variety of widths as well? as is the fastening a buckle or a clasp?

I can do wider ones yes they are the plastic clip type as the metal ones don't sit flat with the thickness of the paracord and look uncomfortable on the dog

This is the wider variety

Very pretty collars but I believe collars for Staffordshire Bull Terriers need to be 'As Strong As Possible'.

Just a thought but maybe a 'Strong Leather Collar Underneath' (Heavy Duty) and then your 'Stylish Collars' over the top of the aforementioned 'Leather Collar' to make them look more Stylish/Elegant.  

They are not made specifically for any breed of dog. They are classed as accessories and as previously stated in other comments I always advise the use of a harness for safety. Having said that I will look in to your suggestion as a possible way to create collars that are more durable for people who wish to solely use a collar.

 Sounds good to me and 'Good Luck' with it all.

Got a cracking new collar and lead, El Perro, ideal for staffies.
