Best Farm Dog Collars?

[amm2cd]

So I have a mini apricot poodle (a very small mini) who is turning ten. Where does the time go!
Anyway, she’s had various Collars through the years, cloth ones, sparkly ones, leather ones, etc. I’ve decided that it’s time for her to upgrade to something fitting to celebrate a decade of Farm Poodle. I prefer leather, she prefers bling.

Let me know your favorite brands and sources!

Um, I saw a pink spike collar at my feed store. Tractor Supply has collars and leashed with various tractor logos like John Deere and Farmall.

I thought you meant collars for serious farm dogs
I like the blaze orange collars with reflexite. The kind with the o ring in the middle and curved hardware that lies close along the dogs neck making it less likely to get caught on something.

My favorite is Quillin, but that may not be blingy enough? Take a look at Clever With Leather - their stuff is wonderful.

Blaze orange and/or leather is probably the safest.

If you want no-stink, utterly indestructible collars in fun patterns (or in reflective green, orange or white) check out CycleDog. They are made with “up cycled” bike tire tubes and they last forever. The only reason I am looking to replace mine after 4 years is a couple of visits to the beach rusted the metal collar latch (they have plastic latches too).

Oh, and the leash clip doubles as a bottle opener. In case that influences your decision :yes:

I would NEVER spend this much on a dog collar, but I’m drooling over this one. It’s difficult to find nice leather equestrian-type dog collars for tiny dogs (no sparkles or pink for my dog!)

This one is very plain but really nice too:

Wire weiner, she IS a serious farm dog. But after a decade of running a tight ship, she’s earned some luxury of a splurge collar instead of a “this will do in case you wander off” collar. Think of it has her semi-retirement tiara!
It’s hard to find horse person quality leather at the feed stores or petsmart. Any Amish type shops that I’m missing? Any Cothers with a dog etsy shop? I would love to support one of our own, given the option

This one is cute. There’s a lot of blingy leather collars on etsy

Looks like my original post was eaten. Paco collars combine leather and bling. I’d browse the cat section, too, for a toy.

People on horses makes some beautiful collars with tasteful bling and leather! My corgi has one! My big farm dogs are collies so to make my life easier, they have rolled leather ones

Gun Dog Supply makes some really nice ones with name plates that don’t jingle (heaven for a light sleeper) and really nice leather. Both my dogs get lots of compliments and they have a handy center ring for lazy leash attachment, if needed.

Paco Collars! I haven’t bought one before but they donated a gift certificate to our national club once and I subscribed to their FB page. So much fun!

Here are some ideas, but you can design your own too! Leather and bling together!

LOVE my Gun Dog Supply collars. Tough but easy to clean, last forever, and like this poster said: quiet. The name plate makes it easy to put a lot of information where it’s very visible. Plus lots of options and colors, but not really “blingy”.

Another horsey-connected source: HPF designs also makes dog collars. I have one of their brow bands and it is lovely.

Nothing says, “good dog” like a really nice, hand-crafted collar. You could look into finding a good leather maker or Amish person who’s skilled with leather and have one made. I;m looking into have a local guy who makes leather gun holsters make one for my springer spaniel (and also a holster for my SO who thinks he needs a leather holster)
