Leather Dog Collars
If you are going to buy your pooch a new leather collar, doesn't he or she deserve the best? A fine leather collar with jewels is just the thing for your pampered pooch. You can get collars in many colors and styles.
I prefer the elegant collars with rhinestones. They are just beautiful. They will make your doggie the envy of the neighborhood. Getting the correct size of dog collar leaves some people confused. You generally need to get a collar that measures from 1 to 1.5" greater the the actual neck measurement of you dog. This leaves a little room so your dog does not choke, but not too much room so he can slip out of his collar when going for a walk.
We learned this lesson the hard way. We had just gotten our new baby from an adoption agency. When we got him, he already had a collar and we did not check how well his collar fit. We were taking him to see Santa and attached his leash and walked outside to the car. He didn't like the leash at all and easily slipped out of his collar. He immediately dashed across the road and ran down the sidewalk. Fortunately we live in a development and there isn't a lot of traffic.
Well, my husband and I ran down the sidewalk trying to catch him (like that was a possibility). We got to the bike path and my husband was going to take that to try and cut him off and catch him that way. Then he suddenly appeared back around the corner and ran back to me. I guess he finally realized nobody was following him. He was probably wondering what was taking us so long. I picked him up and carried him back to the house. I immediately adjusted his collar so he could not do that again. Then we went to Petsmart so he could go see Santa.
We were lucky that he got out of his collar when he did. Imagine what could have happened if he would have escaped after we got to the store. This was next to a mall and he would most likely have been hit by a car.
So now his collar is mainly for show. And to carry his dog tags. When we walk him, he gets a walking harness - it feels more secure and he doesn't choke himself by pulling.
