i have 2 here i will link, would like to know which one is the best?

Help is much apperciated


leather one

nylon one

Personally i would go nylon, purely because its her first collar and she will need to get use to it, the leather one is tough etc PLUS lol you may want to go cheap at first because you will be replacing it with a bigger one soon enough lol, they soon grow!

yeah was planning to get a nylon one for now till she gets use to it , then buy a leather one

Yeea, best to start of cheap and flimsy while they grow and get used to it etc .. my Skye is still in a nylon one .. my vinnie had a leather one but skye bit loads of lil teeth marks in it when she was tiny haha so he has a nylon one again too .. when you have the two who like to beat each other up the leather one begins to look tatty in time haha

Don't go for this nylon one. Rocky had one of these and it ended up rubbing all the hair of his neck and throat area and made it very sore. We had to keep putting cream on it to clear it up.

He has this one now, it's not very feminine I know, but they also do it in a tan colour if you prefer.

omg that adorable!!!!!!

Haha they have matching harness and lead too
yeeah, Majority of them are very soft! we had to keep my old boy in a nylon one because his cone when he was castrated cut into his neck and left a bald patch so any other collar just rubbed the same area bless him .. i personally dont get leather just because it can split and pinch etc when it starts to get old

yeah i know my friend rotty has a leather one but she damn big lol missy her staffy, doesnt chew or anything one collar so she said shes been able to keep her on nylon

Omg scarlett has to have matching collar and harness lol nothing but the best for my girl

Mine are both back in Nylon collars.
Well the older one is nearly 15yrs, (so definitley "back" for her), I did the leather collar when she was between one and two but as we lived on rural acreage with a permanent creek as one of our boundaries, she swam too much to leave her leather collar on. In fact I gave up on her wearing a collar as it got so smelly.
I know this may sound bad, but she wore a length of chain with a "D" link to hold it in a circle from the hardware store for a while as she was always in the creek. We had to have the council dog tag on at all times as the other side of the creek was farm land and the owner was a member of the council, so I really didn't want her to wander over there without her tag on.
These days they go "naked" as my hubby says and only wear their collars on walks or outings. Collars really do get very sweaty and smelly & these days the older one has so many skin issues that I would forgo this if I didn't have to attach her lead to it.

haha aww shes going to be spoilt .. Vinnie and skye had matching collars, harness's and leads when they were little, but as they got older they just have sets i.e vinnie has blue collar, harness and lead lol .. Skye on the other hand has a funky dotty collar with red harness and lead lol!.
Skye looked all proud in her first big girl collar and harness haha example A lol!

Same as above, Rocky only has his collar on for walks

Kelly what a gorgeous pic of Skye

She lays on her back and starts like wiggling along the decking almost like she surfing on her back lol!

wish i had mt video recorder with me i could have posted it was so funny!

Haha awww! .. They are hours of fun! Haha

yeah my son whos 4 was copying her, and as soon as he was on the decking doing it she wouldnt let anyone near him she growled at me when i went to pick him up!

but i pet her showed her i wasnt going to harm him and she was fine

Hence the name 'Nanny Dog' .. Majority of them adore kids

oh yeah missy love him and all other children

she wouldnt even dream of harming a child!

my friend nearly go broken into last week while i rotty Bella started barking to warn them off poor missy hid in a corner shaking!

that why when i went to get another dog i considered a staffy because of my best friend and it showed me how loving them dogs can actually be with the right and proper training

i have nylon for beau but it has soft padding to stop it from rubbing it matches his harness

I wish we could educate people about how wonderful their breed is without having to have prior experience

Maybe one day, we can only live in hope


This was Izzy's first collar

awwwh both beautiful dogs guys

yeah i unfortunatly got bit by a staffy when i was four and they kinda scared me for awhile but relise it was obvisoly a stupid owner!

yeah seen a padded pink colla id like to get her

Kita's first collar

omg look how stunning she is!!!! <3

I was bitten by a GSD when I was 18 and I'm still scared of them, unfortunately other more recent situations have not helped change my mind.
I grew up with labs, so I wasn't totally lacking in dog knowledge when I was bitten.
However being owned by SBT's for the past 15 years makes me totally forget about these experiences.

I had a padded one on my pup Lola but i felt it was a little heavy around her neck so now she has a princess normal nylon one

sorry dogsalog yeah does make you scared huh?

im glad owning a STB changed your mind i met my friend 6 years ago she had her dogs for 2 years now nearly and ive known them there whole life i wasnt scared anymore and i totally changed and like you forgot about it so hence why im having scarlett as i know she will have a wonderful temprment

Lou - yeah padded collar seems the way to go, when she older. if i have the same sort of thing happen as you think i my stick ot nylon
