Strong Stuff 2,171 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Have had a few PM's lately asking about the collars that I make for Stronger Dogs, am sure you're all familiar with my Terrier Collars and Couples So here's what I make for the "Strong Dogs", have had good reports from lads who've used these on Bull Lurchers too, so they are probably suitable for them too! These collars are 2" wide, made up of 5 layers (ply) of British Made webbing, each layer is tested by the manufacturer to have a breaking strain greater than 5000 Kg (quite a lot!) The main part of the collar is made from 1 continuous length of webbing, about 5 metres for a normal sized collar, stitched together with an Industrial sewing machine using British Made bonded nylon thread, that will never rot or snap (so they tell me). There are 5 or 6 individual rows of stitching along the length of the collar. Holes are heat sealed to prevent fraying (might be a bit tight at first but they soon wear in). Buckles and Dee rings are Made in England (Dees are the welded type). I prefer to make my collars with the Dee ring at the end, it is harder and uses more material to do this but if you look at the photo showing the end of the collar you'll see the Dee ring is supported by 8 layers of webbing at the point where the load is, I think this should be strong enough!! It's me that makes every single one of these collars, they're not cheapo imports or made by someone else for me, I should go bigger but prefer to keep it as a paying hobby for now. I guarantee each collar for life (mine obviously) if it breaks then not only will I replace it, I'll eat the bits that are left! A collar like the one in the photos without any lettering is £15 for a Stafford sized dog and £20 for bigger dogs (Presa / AB / Rott etc) Loads of different colors. Lettering adds a few quid depending how many letters. I make and post them the same day I get paid for them, can order either by post or you're welcome to come to my dungeon and collect it I think that's everything, any questions just shout! (PM, email or phone ) I hope the person that this particular collar is for likes it! Thanks for reading. Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Like it..... I BLOODY LOVE IT!!!! You are a gentleman sir, excellent work yet again!! For anyone looking at this post I cannot stress how good these collars are! I do believe all he says on the above post. I was lucky enough to meet Strong Stuff early last summer where he 'kitted' my Bullx dog with one of these (the photo is from the day after he got it), its had 12 months of 'graft' on it now and its as if it was bought new (apart from the mud!). I've never been 'shy' with buying good quality collars and leads for my dogs, these are the best I've seen or used. Keeping Bullx lurchers for 15 years, the importance of keeping a dog secure, either whilst another is running, or when crouching against a hedge watching a pair of red eyes flying down the field can save you soooo much bother and for the latter, those big 'D' rings are great for grip or slip! For all the people on here who have 'strong' lurchers (bullx or not) or any type of dog that requires a fair 'bit of bondage' these collars are ALL YOU WILL EVER WANT OR NEED!!!! Thanks again Strong Stuff Link to post Share on other sites
