this is what I use for show, the round leather martingale, and scroll down the leather lead. Soft, rolls into a small coil, very nice.

my dogs are naked in the house. when we're out and about they wear their fabric collars from Ella's Leads. Dodger's is a red and black tribal collar and mollys is pink with piggies playing in the mid and is embroidered with the nick name Fatty. (she was morbidly obese when she was younger). Dodger has a nice 2" red and black leather collar for when we're out somewhere nice. I'm working on getting Molly a nice pink and black leather collar. I would love to get them nice leather leads, but I have to wait until January or so.

I have a simple black nylon rope choke collar that is my "go to" collar. Most of the time if I'm heading out the door, that's the one I throw on her. So easy to slide on, doesn't mess up the fur, and is hardly noticeable against her fur. I use a super-soft 1/2 leather leash with it that Mrs.K got for me.

I've gotten all my leather leashes at dog shows. They seem to be good quality, at least I've never had an issue with one, none have ever broke or anything except for the time my dad closed one in the car door and drove away like that. It broke at some point and when the ride was over there was half a leash in the car.
They started out somewhat stiff, but they soften quickly just by rolling them around in your hands. If I want them even softer a little bit of leather conditioner works great.

I have only bought a few of these since they hold up so well, the only time I ever had to replace one was the one that broke in the door, and now I just use it as a training/agility tab.

i don't pretend to know much about collars but what's the difference between the $45ish sprenger prong collar on that website and the $23 one here: Sprenger Chrome Plated Prong Collar : DogSport Gear

is there something i am missing?? because i was just about to order that one and now i don't know.

Are you looking at the 3.9mm/4.0mm collars? That's an awful lot of collar for a GSD, way in excess of what you'd need.

i have a prong collar from petsmart but he outgrew it and i wanted to get a nicer one. this one: Herm Sprenger Chrome-Plated German Steel Pinch Collar

but it looks like that same one is $30 more on that other website and i didn't know if there was a difference between them

Ok, that's the classic ultra style in chrome with a swivel D ring, 22" as standard with the 3.0mm gauge and would be more than enough providing it's the right length, although some here would recommend the 2.25mm with additional links to extend the length. It's the same as the other one but they also had an option for an ultra 3.2mm gauge, 23" as standard. BTW *wink* have you seen the entire range of Sprengers collars *wink wink*, there's several 'nicer' than the chrome but it depends on how much you want to spend *wink*.
