One day, she could be an ultra dog I just don't know if I'm ready to start that kind of training. Last time I trained for an ultra, it meant running 2500 kms to get ready for 50km. To steer it back to leather, she has a harness that I really enjoy, brand is 'Sporn'. There is a metal triangle which allows the nylon web to slide through. I'm considering copying it, but I don't want to end up with a stretched leather, or worse something that won't loosen. I think I'll have to go browse strange hardware suppliers, or get out the plasma torch and files... That sounds like work!! I love to hike; however, Nothing like being alone with your thoughts on a beautiful morning. That is a nice harness setup; it shouldn't be too hard to duplicate. I have some American Bullies that I made leather pinch collars for, and I had to make the hardware for them also.

This one is great, but all the nylon webbing is resistant to the stretching and shrinking I expect with leather. Ethyl is a bit careless about running into water. Or more often watery goose-poop, thick, sticky and smelly mud, or anything else she likes the stank of. She has a leather 'necklace' (collar with no leash attachment ring) but I haven't tried making a proper collar or harness yet. Maybe I can make her one for when she doesn't have a chance to find something wet... Quote

When I was much younger and lived at home we had a beagle who liked to roll in cow pats, the fresher the better. Then come home and hide under furniture. It was hard to find him as he crawled from area to area. I swear he was having a laugh at us. He also 'lost' his collar about every 7 to 10 days Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

They've also been sprayed by a skunk, and their leather collars have held up great so far. As for water, they have a pool and sprinkler they drench themselves with daily in the summer, leather will work just fine; it has for thousands of years on dogs, cows, horses........i built two of these for my Bullies in 2021 and they are still going strong, Edited Monday at 10:25 AM by chuck123wapati Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on.

Members Sheilajeanne Posted Monday at 06:23 PM Members Report Posted Monday at 06:23 PM (edited) The leather collar I bought for my first GSD back in the 1980's looks almost exactly like that one, and is still going strong! Many years ago, I was visiting an aunt in the country. She suggested I let our dog run loose on her property. Since she was well back from the road, I decided to let her go. Bad idea... When we were ready to leave, she came joyfully running up to us, covered in fresh cow poop. It was a cold day in October, and she definitely did not appreciate being hosed down with cold water. She jumped around on the end of her leash like a very large fish, while my aunt watched and laughed her buns off. Needless to say, we kept her leashed when she was around the farm after that.
