Members ruthless Posted March 31, 2009 Members Report Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Modelled by a 19kg Staffy X I took these for the girl I made the collar for to give her a bit of a laugh at how huge her dog is compared to mine. His neck is a whopping 27"!!! It's dark and raining here so I can't go outside to get better pics, sorry I'll update the thread later when I do. ETA Chopper looks miserable cause he thought putting a collar on meant going for a walk! Edited March 31, 2009 by ruthless Quote
TomSwede Posted March 31, 2009 Report Posted March 31, 2009 Good looking collar!!!

Members McJeep Posted April 1, 2009 Members Report Posted April 1, 2009 Nice Just started doing these for my own dogs - can I bug ya for specs like weight of leather, width of collar etc? I sure hope ya took him for a walk after the photo shoot! Quote "I gotta have more cowbell!" Cristopher Walken - SNL
Members ruthless Posted April 1, 2009 Author Members Report Posted April 1, 2009 Thanks. They don't sell straps by weight where I buy them, but it's 5mm thick and 38mm wide. And yes, of course he got a walk, the whinging would be unbearable otherwise! Quote
Suze Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 that second pic is so crying out for a caption something like Mom SAID I'd grow into it......someday poor pup, he looks sooooo disgusted in that one.

yaklady Posted April 1, 2009 Report Posted April 1, 2009 A couple of months ago, I made a collar for a bullmastiff with a 30" neck. Those dogs are huge! What kind of appetite do they have? Two people a day? I like the way you attached the D ring. It's pretty classy looking. I couldn't find a buckle that I liked that was wide enough, so I did the taper thing to accommodate the smaller buckle. As far as I know, Centaur hasn't chewed through it yet.

Members ruthless Posted April 1, 2009 Author Members Report Posted April 1, 2009 Thats, really nice I had been attaching the d-rings like this ... ... but I was told it would make the collar a lot stronger if I did it the other way. Here's a picture of the dog I made it for: Rocco Apparently even by Bullmastiff standards he's a pretty big boy. I love them, but I could never own a dog that drools that much! Quote
Members eirenealetheia Posted April 2, 2009 Members Report Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) LOL! That is one huge (and very nice looking!!) collar. I really like the way you've put in the back D-ring, with the extra piece of leather underneath so it won't be seen. Also just had to say how much I love the dog - Staffys are such gorgeous dogs! - Trinity Edited April 2, 2009 by eirenealetheia Quote
Members Sasquatch Posted April 4, 2009 Members Report Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) Awesome... That dog is huge, collars look great. Edited April 4, 2009 by Sasquatch Quote www.makoaleather.com

Members ruthless Posted April 5, 2009 Author Members Report Posted April 5, 2009 Thanks, I think he's a bit special too. He's a very patient model, so eager to please. When the shelter brought him out to meet us my first thought was "ugh, I hate brindles", it didn't take long for him to grow on us though and soon after he became our first foster failure Quote
