Looking for custom collar.. Ever seen one like this?

AddieGirl · 07-20-2011, 06:16 PM

Probably a couple of years ago I saw a big beautiful Boxer in PetSmart with the coolest collar. It was very wide, metal and had the dog's name "Sargeant" made into the collar. Not added onto the collar, MADE in to it, like the letters were metal and kind of made the collar. I have searched and searched online for a person or company that makes it, but had no luck. Anyone ever seen a collar like that?

The owner probably fabricated it...have you tried approaching metal workers?

No, I hadn't thought of that.. I'm not sure if it would look right on a GSD anyway because of the length of coat, but my brother-in-law has a pit and it would look awesome on him. It would be a cool gift.

I would suggest Etsy. I'm looking now, but not finding anything. You can try looking for a seller that creates metal products and see if they will make something for you.

It can be done with these if you know how to weave. But these are dog collars made from paracord. They make bracelets for us too and are marketed as survival bracelets. Pretty cool stuff.

I'm not sure what you mean by a metal collar, can you describe it more? Was it metal as in chain? Or just a single piece of metal, or what?

I don't really know how it was constructed because I didn't get close enough to really look at the details, but I guess you could consider it chain in that it must have had links to make it flexible rather than rigid. There were two rows like this ==== and then the letters connected the rows on top and bottom. Maybe the letters slid on with the top and bottom pieces going through the top and bottom of the letters. It appeared to be about 3 inches wide... I know this probably doesn't make sense. Maybe I will draw it and post a pic..

Ok with my horrible drawing skills this is the idea..

Dont laugh, LOL:

The letters were metal too (should have colored them in) but around the letters it was open so the dogs neck was the background.

I'm sorry. I laughed.

Simply because your horrible drawing skills are so much better than MY horrible drawing skills.
