English Bridle Leather ScruffTag™ Personalized Dog Collar

ANSWER: Both of my dogs are big dogs, so I can't speak to which size a small dog may need, but I do have one piece of advice. Make sure you account for any extra skin your dog may have. Our german shepherd has some extra loose skin around her neck, and I did not pull the tape measure tight and the collar was a bit too big. We had to drill another hole. There are instructions on the site that tell you how to measure. Those worked perfectly for our other dog. Overall, these collars are great! Fewer tags to jingle around. by Debra G 7/17/2011

ANSWER: Probably a small. My dog is a terrier, about 23 pounds. I got the medium for him. They are adjustable. I would measure around his neck to be sure. The sizes with the descriptions are pretty accurate. Hope this helps. by Debra B 7/17/2011

ANSWER: My suggestion would be the 3/4" x14". My reasoning is that I bought the 3/4" x 16" for my young Flatcoated Retriever and he has more than enough length, There are five holes and we have three to spare, The collar is generously sized, bridle leather is as good as it gets and as it ages and accumulates oil from your hands it gets as soft as melted butter and stretches just a tad. by Pam G 7/16/2011

In answer too your question the collars have held up very well
one is being worn by a doberman shepherd mix tho other by a
sharpei lab mix yes you can punch holes in but it takes a heavy
tool lettering is still legible after many walks by L I 7/7/2011

ANSWER: This is a strong collar and good looking; therefore, I do not think you can punch holes in it. It is very thick and high quality. Not knowing the size of your dogs this collar was small if the same size I purchased it was comfortable on my ankle it was a gift used my ankle to guesstimate the size on the tightest notch. Seems to me it would work for a dachshund though not entirely sure. Good luck! by S A 7/7/2011

ANSWER: Measure the dogs neck there are 5 adjustment holes so from center hole to center of buckle is the dog's neck size and then there would be 2 inches for adjustments on either size of the center hole. The size of the dog's neck is the size collar you need with the dog ID size system. by M K 6/3/2011

ANSWER: They offer instructions for how to measure on their site. I copied some important details for you and I hope it's of help. I myself used the current collar method and I found it to be accurate. As well I am pleased with the collar. Good luck....

Here are a few different methods for measuring your dog's neck:
Measure your dog's neck with a sewing tape while keeping two fingers between his skin and the tape.
OR...
Wrap a string around your dogs neck with two fingers between his skin and the string. Mark the string and then measure the length of it.
OR...
Remove your dog's current collar and stretch it out flat. Then measure from the center of the buckle to the current sizing hole being used. by R O 6/3/2011

ANSWER: Greetings!
I've been nothing but hugely happy with this company .. I recommend them to everyone of my fellow dog owners! If I remember correctly, shipping was fast. I constantly get compliments on my dogs collar .. everyone loves the built in name plate and it's large enough I got his name, our name, 2 cell phone numbers and our city and state.

I highly recommend!! Enjoy your puppies : by Stephanie M 4/17/2011

ANSWER: Robert -
These are great collars. I have an enormous sense of security with my dog wearing the collar should he get lost. He loves the collar too. I received the collar in about a week and a half. Not bad considering they are personalized. I would recomment them. My dog has two. by Debra B 4/15/2011

ANSWER: Actually, having received my collars, I'm a bit concerned about the thinness of the plate. I should have asked, of course, about the thickness of the metal tag. It's the same material/thickness as traditional, hanging tags. I'm going to keep an eye on how it fits my 45-lb Vizsla, since she has very short hair and no undercoat. When the collar is attached to a leash, the tag will be over her throat, and yes...there is the concern of the thin, rigid edge causing damage or discomfort. However, I bought the collar primarily for her trips to the dog park, where her tags have been pulled by other dogs. So it might be a wash.

I wish the site would actually post the thickness of the plate here. I HAVE seen collars with thicker plates, ie. the thickness of a wristwatch. This is what I'd imagined I was buying, but of course I didn't ask. by Michelle B 3/11/2011

ANSWER: I bought these collars for my husky and german shepherd. They have fairly thick fur, so there has been no trouble with abrasions. The metal plate sits at the back of the neck if there is no leash attached, so there is not too much risk of it pulling the fur either. I love these collars so far and have had no trouble with them. They are great because if you look down at the dog the metal plate is often the first thing that you see, making it easy for people to see the information if your dog ever gets out. The only recommendation I have is to make sure you get a good measurement of your dog's neck before ordering. Both of the collars I got were too big fastened on the middle hole and one needs to have a new hole put in it. Other than that, great collars. by Debra G 11/16/2010

ANSWER: my two labs are in the water all the time. i find that if you condition the leather there is no problem. the collars are so beautiful and well made that it is worth the few minutes of effort to keep them looking that way. the alternative is to buy this collar for everyday use. another one for sunday best and then a nylon one for when they're in the water...no matter which way you go, you can't go wrong with a collar from dogid. by Robin H 7/20/2011

ANSWER: @Clint H: correct, good point. by Eliazer B 6/15/2011
