We have two gorgeous hounds, Loki and Luna, who colour our lives with laughter and antics. Friends and family have requested that I make them collars as they liked them so much, and they have all given me such great feedback . Now I just love making them, but don’t have enough dogs to wear them all, so I thought maybe others would love to see their dogs in my durable, great looking collars. OUR CO
LLARS:
Our Collars are hand made from Paracord with buckles and D rings. They come in combinations of colours that you get to choose from available stock. They have an inner and outer layer which you can see in the sample pictures. PARACORD:
We use 550 Paracord - 100% nylon. Manufactured in USA. The cord is mildew resistant, will not rot, lightweight and extremely strong – the breaking strain is approximately 250kgs. BUCKLES & RINGS:
You have two choices for buckles;
1. Durable plastic side release buckle, these a traditional style buckle that are hard wearing and weatherproof. These buckles are not rated however have withstood the ‘pulling power’ of the two hyper hounds!
2.Stainless steel D or Bow Shackle adjustable buckle, very heavy duty All collars have a stainless steel D ring or screw gate shackle to attach your lead and council tags. TAGS:
If you opt to include a tag on your collar we source these from a Qld supplier, they are aluminium and engraved. The engraving colour is white but may appear black in some light. The tags are woven in to the collar and very secure. Most people opt for a name and number on the tag, we recommend you also add your local council tag number. CLEANING & CARE:
Our collars are washable; we recommend a normal cycle in a laundry bag. However we have it on good authority, from our number 1 customer, if you are frequent beach goers don’t bother with the laundry bag as it may just trap all the sand! Just turn your closed collar inside out and throw it in the washing machine! Each collar is hand woven, due to the nature of Paracord and the way it is finished off, the ends (which are heat sealed) may be visible on the underside of the collar. Keep in mind that although our collars are very durable and hardwearing in most instances they will exposed to the elements and rough play so please check your collar regularly for wear and tear and contact us if there are any problems. ORDERING:
You are able to choose colours based on the photos on the page or if you have a particular preference please feel free to ask and we can link you to our suppliers web page where there are 100’s of choices! Just a few tips on colours:
• If you would like more than one colour choose either two solid colours, or one solid and one multicolour (patterned/camo)…two multi colours can be a bit much together
• The tag colours are quite difficult to match exactly, we recommend you opt for a complimentary contrasting colour
• We can offer a limited rage of reflective cords, they are fantastic for night walking, and work best with a matching solid colour underneath and a silver tag. PRICE LIST:
