They appear to be nice well constructed collars. I’d personally never buy or use one, especially with a dog on the chain. You can purchase four collars from other individuals for the of one of theirs, doesn’t make any sense in buying one!

They look nice but it says that the dual grip collars shouldnt be used for tying the dogs out.

“do you know of anyone else that does embroidery and has a grip as a part of the collar?”
Most of the collar makers will do the embroidery ( http://www.bulldogsupplycompany.com/ (http://www.bulldogsupplycompany.com/) ) , as for the “grip” not sure being that’s what a leash is for. You might ask Crossfire, he may very well do the embroidery too.

yea, but its otay cuz i just want to collar to look nice and when my dog goes out i want to be able to get a good grip on him just it case something happens...one time my big girl jumped the fence and ran after another dog i tried to grab her by the collar, she yanked out and ran back to those dogs, ever since then, i've been terrified and i need a collar that willl give me peace of mind...

They look nice but isnt that a bit overkill, I mean a nice 4 ply nylon collar or so is more than sufficent for any dog, so I dont see why they anyone would pay that much for those. AMWK had some nice collars and I believe he does embroidering too..... And honestly, that grab handles although looks cool.....serves very little purpose, these dogs shouldnt be let off the leash in public, when that handle would be used. I have looked at buying one before, then I realized theres no purpose in paying that much for a collar that can only be used on walks.....its too big to be used in shows too.

They are cool looking collars, Hurricane Dog Supply makes a 4 ply collar also that has a fleece lining for $40.

I have 3, 2 standard and 1 dual grip. A friend sold all 3 for 25$ total! They are very nice.

I dont chain my dog up he is strictly a house dog and this collar works out perfect. The D rings really hold up compared to other collars. The collar is so thick it also helps to reduce pulling while walking your dog. I can see where this collar would suck if he is on a chain. Tyson is 10 months old with a 22in neck and weighs 80-85lbs. This collar besides the prong collar is about the only ones that have held up. I have to other 2in nylon collars and the stiching hasnt held up .

Even for a house dog I can't see spending $30 dollars for a nylon collar.
I've never had a problem with any of the quality 2" nylon collars and non ever cost me more than $15. The only wide collars I've seen cause problems are the 1 3/4" collars from Wal-Mart. The hardware rusts pretty fast and the nylon stretchs over time and I know a few people that have lost dogs from accidents with these collars.

No offense, but you really should learn to handle your dog even if it's not in a clollar. You never know when accidents can happen. & not being comfortable controlling your dog is'nt being responsible. IMO
