Collar question

[Discussing Labradoodles & Goldendoodles]

Do any of you doodle lovers have Coach collars for your dog? I've been thinking about getting Ava one. Are you happy with the quality, color etc.?

[Star and Goldie]

Wow. I could not imagine spending that much on a collar. When I see something that much money my mind processes it like "Well that's a week and half of my daughters daycare" or I convert it into a gas money exchange chart. Haha.

I promise I'm not a super cheapskate! I'm just living on a single working mothers budget :)

[Star and Goldie]

Now my daughter on the other hand... she is pretty darn spoiled! My pets are spoiled to a degree. They do have some really nice things- even some things that were outside of my budget but I just had to splurge. I'd love to splurge on those types of things but then my mortgage wouldn't get paid. Ah... dreaming of champagne on a koolaid budget ;)

I'm a college student, I understand your mindset completely. :-)

Camilla that's such a cute collar!

[Joanna, Zoe & Bender]

Bender has a collar from target that has a cushion pad on the inside and a reflective stitching around the outside. The reflective stitching is coming apart... One stitch at a time. I watch everyday while one more stitch has come undone but haven't got him a new one. This discussion is making me think I'm being super cheap and should get him a new one lol!

I am not a coach purse or collar type of girl.....I am into cute collars Jack gets a 20 one every year. I like it to be boyish.

You might want to do a trial run with a similar leather collar with a big brass buckle to see how she does. It might just be a quirk, but Oliver seems to get uncomfortable with the weight and rigidity of leather collars (however I assume they will soften with use). One of our favorite brands is Mimi Green, they make lots of nylon and fabric collars using bright fun prints and you can even get them personalized.

My understanding is that a rolled leather collar (as opposed to a flat collar) will help prevent matting around the neck.  Anyone know of a good brand that has these rolled leather collars?

friends of mine gave Cubbie a Coach collar because they said that my expensive dog needed an expensive collar lol.  I don't put it on him that often though because it is easier to use a standard collar.  I don't feel like I get as good of a fit on the Coach collar.

We love the Walk-e- Woo collars for every day. We use the boomerang tags on them and for special occasions these hand beaded collars from Kenya are beautiful and very hard wearing. It's a charity business too.I don't like any of the designer collars, too much money for a label.  Oh also these are gorgeous (though expensive) Holly and Lil from the UK, beautifully made and very hard wearing also.

I have seen them periodically at the Coach outlet store near me.  They only have traditional buckles, though, so this is something to consider.
