Fantastic collar

January 25, 2023

This is my second leather collar from GDS. 1st is 11+ years old on my old GSP. It's a bit tattered and looking rough, but he's still wearing it , after 10years of hard hunting with it on. It's got a lifetime of memories in that collar. Minimal maintenance throughout the years, washed in soap & water when iy got muddy and treated with leather conditioner about 1/yr. Hoping this 2nd collar purchased for my 5month old DK will age as equally graceful through the years.

Pros

Beautiful & rugged

Cons

Gets pretty grimy with sweat, water, mud

Perfect collar

January 20, 2021

This Mendoza leather collar is awesome, and I would highly recommend getting the 6' Mendoza lead to go along with it. They are a perfect match. The collar has the safety ring which I really like, not only safe for your dog, but easy to snap the lead to as well. Any of your dogs needs need to be purchased from gun dog supply, they are the go to place. They know there stuff, they sell quality products, and give top notch outstanding customer service.

Pros

Beautiful collar
Well made
Can get brass information plate attached
Built to last a lifetime

Cons

All your friends will be jealous if they don't have one.
There are no other cons

My sister recommended them to me as she has several Weimaraner Lolligaggers and I'd been wanting a similar collar.
I had ordered a collar for my Weimaraner Lolligagger and noticed a needed correction (no one's fault- computer exception); I called to ask how I can either send back or pay for new one. Left a voicemail message. Call returned quickly; lovely service and resolution.
The Lolligagger is now running around in circles sporting her beautiful collar.
Thank you kindly, Laura

Beautiful Collar--Made in the U.S.A.

I bought one of these decades ago on the recommendation of Gun Dog Supply and several since. They are a good match on my Irish Setter(s). Most important as my dogs go everywhere with me, I have absolute confidence that the collar will hold if anything unexpected comes along.

Wonderful collar.

I bought this to replace a nylon collar on my 9 month old GWP. She found it comfortable from the start, and when pulling hard while on a leash, the ring seems to lessen the stress on her throat. It also looks great. If she outgrows this size, a larger one will be the replacement.

Pros

Quality materials and construction.

You can not buy a better collar

May 8, 2021

I have been buying these collars for 25 years or more. In my mind you can not get a better collar. the stitched edges, heavy duty roller buckle hardware and vivets at the fold overs make these things last for years. They are stiff enough the dog feels light collar pressure so no jerking and potential for injury when training the center ring makes hook up to a lead easy because the ring is always on top of the dog. You can add a second brass plate and have all your information right on the collar so nothing hangs off the dog to get caught on anything

The only thing I do different is to replace the hollow rivets that are included and use a solid copper rivets and washers to hold the plates on

Pros

Great construction, excellent life (a bit of neatsfoot oil 1-2x a year)

Cons

The only thing I change is to s solid rivet on the name plates, my personal choice after having one hollow rivet come off years ago

Well Made Handsome Collar For Any Dog

January 14, 2021

If you have a working dog, leather collars are far superior to nylon or certainly metal-link collars. This is a well constructed leather collar with reinforcing stitching, rivets and brass hardware. The workmanship is very good. This collar will last a long time I'm sure.
Having the customized nameplate riveted on means it will never get lost and it's also quiet!

Pros

I prefer the center-riing style collar
Nice sturdy hardware
Customized nameplate securely attached

Cons

None that I can tell

Followed Steve's Advice

October 14, 2020

Purchased the Mendota collar for its look and weight...have two large dogs, an adopted pyrenees/border collie mix (5 years old) and a chocolate lab puppy (6 months). As the pup has grown older and bolder, they've begun wandering off our 15 acre property together to visit neighbors. Following Steve's advice, I added the brass tag to each collar including my name, city, phone number and the phrase "reward if found." Most have refused to take any money, so it's only cost me an additional $40 so far to get my dogs back.

Pros

Sturdy
Functional
Safe

Cons

None

the collar was 1" too long in the tightest hole. I had to put in another buckle hole. This made the end of the collar too long.

Pros

Great quality and hardware.

Cons

It is difficult to figure te correct collar size.
