Nylon Collar vs Seatbelt Collars

[act284]

Which do you guys prefer?

Which is stronger?

Which holds up better against the elements and general wear and tear?

Anybody notice one having more of an effect on collar rubbing?

Thanks

hurricane costs insane money and they dont even reply when u want to order some.

I think there's a problem with their email, I tried to place an order last month and the email came back as not delivered.

They don't take orders anymore. This has been the case for a long time. Sure they cost alot. But nothing comes close in quality.

Hit up stillwater. His 4 ply collars are nylon and seat belt. I have some that are six or seven years old and still in excellent shape. A good guy to do business with as well. EWO

That's a shame. Have they ceased trading for good or will they be back ?

The seatbelt collars I've owned over the years were never as good as a quality nylon collar. Maybe it's the dog and the abuse they inflict on the collars, I don't know. I know that year vs year, the nylon collars I own now outlasted every seatbelt collar I had within the same time frame.

I've had some seatbelt collars from Stillwater and a few others, and I personally would never pay for another collar made from that material. They simply do not stand up to the wear and tear from my dogs.

The best collars I've used thru out the years are the padded collars from bulldog supply company. Good prices and in my opinion, the best collars around. My chain dogs ware the other collars down too fast, I'm sure largely due to the change in weather, but the padded collars are the sh$t. JMO

I don't think Shane's collars are top notch. Quite the contrary actually.

Top Shelf, all of my dogs are fitted with collars from Bulldog Supply Company. Most of them are close to 10 years old, and haven't even thought about being replaced yet due to the quality workmanship put into the collars.

Does anyone have a preference between wade davis' vs bulldog supply company?

[Ez Country]

Shane's collars are top notch no doubt. He is good to deal with when you have money to spend, (as are most salesman) unless you have a yard accident because his swivels that have o-rings welded together break after only
5 hours of use and you end up losing a ch in a yard accident. Then he'll just hang up on you and avoid your attempts to contact him...

Damn that sucks, I have a bunch of hounds on those rings with the swivels and haven't had any problems with them at all. A weld should never break it is supposed to be stronger than the steel around it, you must have gotten one that didn't get welded properly.

I only use Stillwater collars. I have some that are 5 or 6 year old and still looks new. but I also have a bulldog supply collar that is old as fuck. that is as strong as it was when I bought it

[FarmersChoice]

Bump this old thread up ! I was looking for a little more feedback on Bulldog Supply padded collars .I am thinking about trying them.

[brokeback]

You aren't the only one bama. I've been meaning to order some for a couple months now. Nothing but good feedback has been what I've heard.

[bamaman]

Well I got a couple with collar rub and heard the padded collars from BS was a good solution .And I did get the collar rub cleared up .So I a, going to give it a shot.

[Officially Retired]

I always used O'Brien's. Never tried Bulldog Supply.

[bamaman]

I have heard nothing but good things about Bulldog Supply padded collars so far.And I also heard they were very tough so I am going to try 4 or 5 to start out with see how they do..Little pricey but if they make the dogs a little more comfortable and are tough as people say I don't mind spending the money.

[FrostyPaws]

I have a dog now on a padded collar from Bulldog Supply Company that's at LEAST 10 years old. You could never look at this collar and guess it's that old.

Thanks for the feedback frosty .I got a friend south of me a little ways and he been telling me to try them for a couple years now..Said he tried padded collars from a couple other places and they didn't hold up like bulldog supply.

I've got Valhoma "Big Dog" padded collars. LJ designed them and sold them years ago. Still have a few new ones I've yet to use. They are 3 or 4 ply, my complaint about this particular padded collar is they get really hard. Washing them helps, but eventually the threading doesn't hold the material. They also have a velcro strip on the end to hold the excess snug past the keeper, which fails eventually.

I've noticed Bulldog Supply uses a different padding, I am also thinking of trying them.

Any of these same issues I described with the BS collars?

[FrostyPaws]

Never had a BS collar with a velcro strip. I don't particularly like that as it's a failure sooner than later. I've never had any issues with my BS collars except age.

[MISTER]

Buddy of mine gave me some padded collars I love them.. Had some Wade Davis seatbelt collars I'll never use those things again! Irritated the hell outta my dogs necks, I should've known being that a seatbelt will make my neck uncomfortable on long trips.. I still have some unused puppy seatbelt collars I'll gladly give them things away

[bulldoghistorian]

there is a new thing here called biothane collars , anyone has experience with it
