  • Collar help

    I'm having trouble finding a dane sized personalized collars on e bay and amazon. I wanted to order the one with the letters on it but the biggest size is 22"-26". Capo's neck is currently 22,5" he is 9 months old and full grown his neck is going to be bigger then 26". Where do you order your dogs collars from? The problem is I'm in Europe so they have to ship here and almost every site I find doesn't ship here or the shipping costs x5 the price of the collar.

    Check out Lizard Leather collars. She is in the UK and is exceptionally nice. She can stamp letters into the leather too or create anything you want. Can get pricey though!

    In the states, I prefer to get leather collars from Paco, Karma, or Ella's lead. For miscellaneous collars, I like Dogs-Art and Sexy Beast Collars.

    All of these collar makers are on Facebook and will all do custom work

      What kind of collar are you looking for? Like leather, nylon, martingale? I usually order from this one sight in the UK that makes sighthound martingale collars, they're adjustable to whatever size you want them to be. I've ordered from Etsy too.

          Whichever. I just like the ones with the names or nice collars in geneal but I can't get any kind besides the plain nylon ones or choke chains in dane size here. The choice for small dogs is nice, but I guess the pet stores here don't think that giant dog owners want to dress their pups up . Good thing I don't live in the US because Capo would have a ton of collars by now
          I'll see Etsy too thank you

            I've purchased from this company before and have been very happy with the results. There store only carries up to 26", but if you contact them, they will make any larger size that you may need. Their prices are VERY reasonable and the quality was fab. I like that I can order other colors too. Just click the contact button and tell them what size you are looking for and they will quote you a price. That's what I did and it was only a few bucks more then the large collar price. The name stamping was very nice, but I really liked the brass phone number tag!

            Also, back in January 2013, the US post office just about DOUBLED the international first class package rate. I knew the postage was going up but about choked on the international first class mail price increase. I own an online business and our business is made up of about 50% international. We took a huge hit in business when the postage increase hit. I looked at this companies collar shipping charge to you and it's about what it costs to send you a package.

              I'm not sure if they ship to Europe but the company Blocky Dogs has cool, custom collars specifically for large dogs. I think they will make any size you need. They have a pic on their website with one of their collars on a cow. By the way, Capo is sure handsome!!

                I second 'Sexy Beast' on FB. She custom makes collars, so you can order whatever size you need. There are many options for leather, ribbon, and mixtures of the two. She offers nameplates, to put your dog's name on the collar. Her prices are minimal compared to Karma or Paco, but the weight and bling are lesser too.

                  Thank you for the link the collars are great.

                  It doesn't have to be first class, I'm in no hurry. It can arrive whenever. As for the postage just the other day I ordered the zoom groom from e bay for 8,34$ and the postage is about 1,39$ and it's economy Int'l Shipping. I don't mind to pay a bit more for something that I really like, but sometimes the shipment for 20$ item is 50$ and that's a bit too much.

                      I also have to say that Capo has grown into a very handsome guy! He took my breath away looking at his gorgeous face while standing in the water! Nice pic.

                          First class international mail *IS* the slow snail mail method. It can take anywhere from 7-10 days for some locations all the way up to over a month for other locations.
