FLEUR DE LIS Latigo Leather Dog Collar 1 1/2 inches wide Large Breeds My grand-puppy was over for babysitting…for the whole weekend…at 110 lbs…playing with his dad…non-stop…for three days. I had Godzilla vs King Kong in my living room. Non-stop. For three days. I went into the workroom and made him a "big boy collar"… COLLAR BASIC FACTS: 100% HANDCRAFTED -All leather is hand cut, trimmed and edged -Buckles chosen for strength and durability -All decorations are hand riveted and reinforced for durability LATIGO LEATHER -Latigo means "girth strap"—the strap that braces the saddle under the horse's belly: very tough. Just think how important that strap is on a saddle! -The tanning process removes stretch -CAN GET WET! (the leather will darken and soften) -Will let some color when wet -All natural vegetables dyes (pet safe) WHY 1 1/2 INCHES WIDE? Besides looking nice, the wider leather is better proportioned to larger necks. Control is easier, the collar does not cut in as much (less likely to damage windpipes), and it is more difficult for wrestling dogs to get their teeth under. -Dogs can still choke…it is the owner's responsibility to properly fit collars and supervise their pets
