Default biothane buckle collars

I'm looking for a source/supplier for 3/4" biothane buckle collars. I need sizes 18-22". Gun dog suppliers have them but I have only found 13-17" in the 3/4.

Right now my dogs have 3/4 leather collars with boomerang ID tags that slide onto the collars. My dogs are constantly rolling in snow in the winter, mud in the spring and jumping in water at any possible chance.

I have some biothane leads that have held up very well.

Has anyone else used biothane for everyday collars?

Sunglo Collars | Pet Supplies, Horse Supplies, Dog Supplies | KVsupply.com

KV Vet supply SUNGLO collars - not sure if "biothane" but they have nylon coated center ring hunting colllars and in the big sizes. I am satisfied.

Though I do see that the 3/4 size stops at 20 then you go to 1 inch.

The coated nylon is all I use for my dogs.

Thanks for the input. I have coworker that trials beagles and is going look into having custom collars made.

I'm trying to replace collars and want to get matching colors for some dogs and bright colors for others. I have some dogs that can go out together in teams, others have to out by themselves (dogs that will wear bright colors) . I bought 9 ID tags that are 3/4" from www.boomerangtags.com a year ago at $100 and they are in great shape. This is my main reason for wanting 3/4" wide collars that will be more economical than 9 new collars and 9 new tags. I love the boomerang tags. These are the only tags that have held up to my dogs.

Those do look nice. I have used the rivited tags and just put on my name, phone, team webpage........but they wear down and get bent up and you have to kind of bend the collar to straighten them out sometimes.

For a good everyday, weatherproof collar, we use the Dublin Dog brand. We have a bunch of the solid colors for the males, some of the females have the patterned ones.
They are made of rubber and do not get smelly when they are constantly wet. We have a creek on our property and our dogs spend a lot of time in the water, so the nylon and leather collars were not working for us.

I have bought several Biothane dog things from here:
All Things Bright and Biothane -- Facebook

They have a website but it seems to be down so that is their Facebook page instead.

They do custom work too if they don't have the size you want. They have a bunch of different colors and can also to 2-layer collars or ones with studs and things if you want something fancier. It's all made from beta biothane which is really nice stuff, soft and comfortable. Not the plastic-coated stuff.
I got a custom leash 3/4" wide from them that can be used as over the shoulder or waist, I gave them the measurements so it would fit me perfectly. I also have a slip collar and traffic lead from them (I got it because I needed a slip collar for the ATTS temperament test.)

The only thing is if you have Boomerang collartags that are made for nylon collars they probably won't fit because the biothane is pretty thick. If you have the Collartags for leather collars it's not a problem.

I also have a Dublin Dog collar which I use when my dogs go swimming. I use one of those Collartags (1" type for leather collars) on it.

I won a Dublin Dog collar in a contest, I love it.
It's on my Libby who is a Sheltie type dog with a very long coat. I usually use rolled leather but then I can't see it.
Since the Dublin collar is so nice and pretty I left it a few notches looser (she's almost 10 and does nothing, LOL) and I can see it all the time

Thanks for the info on the biothane supplier, I'll check it out when I get home. My boomerang tags are on leather now so they will fit biothane. I have several biothane long lines etc that were gifts and love them.
