I have to admit, mine don't where collars. Once they have grown out of there puppy collar, It goes on my right wrist as a leather strap, I suppose like a bit of jewellery along with the raptor jess. I know I should for safety reasons have a collar on when out and about, as you never know whats going to happen. But I don't.

I don't use collars very often and never when out shooting. There is something not quite right in my mind when I see a gundog out on a shooting day with a collar on - it just does not look right IMO. It is actually frowned upon on a few of the shoots that I have been on , especially in the beating line where there is a very real danger of the dog being snagged up in some brashings etc. Slip leads and no collars for me !!

Mine wear collars when they are in the car, incase of an accident and when we are at the playing field for 'normal' walks. When at working tests, training or at home they don't wear a collar.

collars - a bit like seat belts - don't do much until needed!

Mugi rarely wears a collar in any circumstance as he is a very obedient lad.

Chase does not wear a collar training in my safe areas but anywhere I don't know or he doesn't he wears a standard collar and tag training or not. He does not wear a collar in the house.

Brice the deerhound wears a collar nearly all the time as he has been bitten and wearing a collar means I can snag him easily.

Freddy has worn a collar 24/7 for a few years and even when in the bath it doesn't come off cos he is my escapolgy bog-off merchant. His tag has reunited us a number of times as has his micrchip.
