Herm Sprenger collar

Liesje · 05-27-2009, 02:42 PM

Anyone know where to get one of these for less than $45? I don't get why the fursavers are less than $10 and these are $45. Likewise if anyone has a used one to sell, PM me. Nikon outgrew his 19" Fursaver so I'm guessing he should just get a 23" show collar so I don't have to buy another if the 21" becomes too small. I'm not picky on color/material.

Are you thinking of using this collar only in shows or also in training? If in training, why not just get a bigger fur saver?

Also, what size prong links do you guys use for GSDs? Our local stores only carry the crappier brands and have medium, large, and x-large. For Coke I have a medium prong (Coke is bigger than both my GSDs) but it keeps coming apart so I want a nice HS one in case Nikon ever needs one. I see the HS one goes by the size of the link. I guess I prefer to err smaller and add links.

I need a show collar. Before we used his Fursaver but these fit better, IMO.

For training he just wears whatever I have handy, on a dead ring. The 19" Fursaver was good for a while but now it's hard to get off. I have a few of these from Bridgeport and have just been using it on a dead ring for training rather than buy something else.

I have an extra one that still has the tags on it. Let me dig it up and check the price and size, I'll send you a PM.

One of my trainers suggested I try one of these collars... I'm still unsure about it, but I did a trial run yesterday and it seemed to work...

^ I have one like that, made by Top Paws. I like the quick release b/c I had/have arthritis in my thumb/wrist so I can't grip and pinch. However it keeps snapping open on it's own. I thought maybe an HS with the quick snap would be better quality and not do that. My TD hates the quick snap but I don't know if I can not have it, someone else would always have to put the collar on/off and I do also attach the lead to the slip collar as backup.

Jen, thanks for the link. $10 cheaper and they have most of the other stuff I need (balls, scent articles, regular fursaver).

You can't use those in a trial or a show ring.

I got tired of using the quick release, always lose pieces. I have one of these:

I have to order another one, as I'm giving mine to my mom next month.
