Collar-holic....

[KSmith]

Ah! Okay so it's no secret I was pretty excited for our first "girl" in the family and so even as a little 8 week old pup she had a collar collection that was shamelessly larger than it should have been. But I can't help it! Now that she's getting older I am really appreciating the leather crafted collars and boy are they gorgeous. Of course they come with the cost of a pretty penny... and I have been planning on getting her a Crazy Rebel or Ella's Lead collar for her birthday (still half a year away though...) and in the mean time I found this incredible small Etsy shop! I feel like it's they are such a sweet spot on fantastic quality but also a phenomenal price point and so I just had to share!! They are called MadCow (this is their etsy shop link: MadcoW by MyMadcoW ) and here are some photos of my girl in a few of their collars-- they are limited design so they only make a maximum of 200 in each style! Anyways I am in love and just had to share because for the price they are great and worth every penny and then some!

If you like leatherwork you should check out @JerseyFirefighter 's work... absolutely gorgeous!! Best leatherwork I've ever seen!!

Btw- just when I think that girl can't get any prettier...

Wow gorgeous! I think many of us share that same addiction, even though I've sort of backed off lately while I've been out of work.

I second JerseyFirefighter's work. It's super high quality, he can create pretty much anything you dream up and the prices are great. Ridgeway Leatherworks
Here's Della's collar that he made.


Another of our sponsors who makes awesome paracord collars is @MischasMomma at Southpaw Elite Pet Accessories




Katja at Euro Dog Designs carries some really nice ones too.


And I love Albert's shotgun collar from @Ingrid H who used to custom make them, even though I don't believe she's making them too much anymore.

I LOVE that brown and black one with the purple! The red ladies look so awesome in purple! I've been wanting to get Rubie a really nice collar but she doesn't wear one around the house which means she only wears it when we're outside, getting dirty, so it's been tough to justify spending the money...

Oh my goodness all of your collars are so gorgeous though! I will definitely look into them as well-- I love that they are fellow forum members!

Maybe it's because she's still so puppy & young but we take her darn near everywhere with us that allows us-- we have a few local restaurants and brewies that allow us out on the patio with her, then of course Lowe's and farmer market nights-- so she gets "shown off" plenty enough to justify pretty collars I think!

Right?? I couldn't believe how cheap.. she said they are releasing new ones end of Sept/early Oct that are all going to be in the $60 range and will be more like the purple/tan collar so wider with more details. I can't wait!

 

[WiglWerm]

Awesome for girl dogs!

I don't know about that...the skull one with spikes might have Spikes name on it (my male) lol

Yes, you're right, both black and gold ones would be excellent for boys. And a dog named Spike definitely deserves a spiked collar

Some beautiful collars! I've actually been toying around with biothane, jaeger leads, and frog quick release buckles. It's gotten so crazy around here I decided I need to hire some PT help. As I teach him the leather trade I hope to create a dedicated K9 section for all things than just custom collars.

I also just purchased a commercial laser engraver... So there are a huge number of avenues that can be taken with personalization in the near future.

Dingo get's to explore a lot of breweries and restaurants with us too... JUST THE TWIST OF THE ARM I NEEDED. Thanks [/QUOTE]

She's quite the model if I do say so myself. She's showing off those collars beautifully!!

@JerseyFirefighter made Kobi's custom collar. It's exquisite!



Please excuse his 'Princess Leia' ears

Love all the collars. I actually like my dogs "naked" the most. They each have two collars though but nothing exciting

 

[WiglWerm]

After the "near death" experience with collars and wrestling (there is a post) mine are ALWAYS naked.

Just got a pup. Already thinking about the most crazy, over-the-top, vicious looking collar I can find. I'm liking this one:

LOL, good luck grabbing him by the collar if you need to.

ESPECIALLY if we don't end up getting Ruger's ears cropped (that's a whole different thread though), then I want a collar that says, "DON'T TOUCH THIS DOG OR YOU'LL LOSE YOUR HAND!!!!!!"
