good collars for pitbulls?

[kellykelly]

lack of proper words in the title...

was just returning from a walk with xerxes, we were passing some kids and his collar broke. luckily the kids knew xerxes and know he's friendly so he just waddled over to them for pets...

but if it was someone that assumed all of "those dogs" are aggressive, just stupid/cruel or had a aggressive dog with them I wouldn't want something to happen. he's been on a normal flat buckle collar. not the ones with the plastic buckles, the ones that are like belts? are they both called that?

he doesn't pull but if it could be hard to get out of/somewhat like a martingale that would be cool.

anyone know of a good, durable martingale collar or just good tough collars in general? went to petco and pet smart but they don't make collars for pitbulls...:/ I want to have something that won't come apart to make sure he/others are safe...x-x

I love my collars I have from Ella's Lead. They're amazing quality and very durable. And super cute too. They're a bit pricey but very well worth it in my opinion. I have 2 collars from them. A chain martingale, for my therapy visits with Zeus, and an everyday(when he wears a collar) collar. I'll eventually get Kingdom a collar from them too.

Stillwater Kennels is going to be your best bet, I have around 6-10 of them and they hold up so well and they're cheap too!! I'm talking these collars will last longer then the lifetime of your dog!

Anything not with a plastic snap or cheap hardware.

Gunner doesn't pull but I'm sure he would break stuff if I hadnt taught him how to heel from day one. :)

I usually walk my dogs in stillwater collars, I would be amazed if one of those ever broke, I have a bunch of them, super cheap, super strong. I also have a couple well made leather collars I trust but the guy is not making them right now, I do have some collarmania/ellas lead leather but I wouldn't really trust them on a strong pulling dog, they will stretch. I've had too many "squirrel!" moment to go with a fabric or softer leather collar for walking unless it's on my older girl who really isn't that strong.

i use paracord collars (and leashes) that i make. they have worked out real well for my boy.

Ella's Lead is good for nice looking, sturdy collars, but they're a little more pricey I think...

I highly recommend Stillwater Kennel Supply. Great, durable, strong collars and you get all the "bang for your buck". They currently have a sale going on right now for their 1.5 inch show collars...I THINK.

I'd like to get Stillwater but my history with them hasn't gone well. 2 weeks ago I ordered a collar and leash but they've yet to be made or the person who owns the business to contact me, tried again with just a collar last week but after I sent my payment and information the type of collar I chose suddenly disappeared from the options and again the person didn't respond to the payments or emails I've sent. it seems shady...:/ not really one for fancy collars but Ella's seems to have simple things too, ima check them out. :I hopefully with better success...><

Just send repetitive emails. Lol. Shane, the guy who runs it, gets a little spacey with his emails sometimes. (No offense to him.) I think he reads the emails on his phone and forgets to respond. Either way, if your PayPal had the right address and you specified what colors you wanted and he didn't send you an email with any objections, it should be on the way.
