Soft Touch Collars Small Leather Padded Dog Collar, Tan with Coral Padding, 16" Long x 5/8" Wide, Neck Size 11" to 13.5 Inches

I purchased two for my golden doodles when they were puppies and now are 1.5 years old. The craftsmanship is beautiful, nice leather, and I love how the soft underside doesn’t cause matting around their necks. Plus these collars have everything you need. A super durable D-ring on top makes it easy to find in their fur for walks. The smaller D-ring near the buckle is great for tags and doesn’t interfere with the actual buckle. There is no way to be disappointed in these collars. Worth it!

First of all, I can state that Vaun Duffy Products is a company with truly World Class regard for product design, quality and customer satisfaction. I recently purchase a Large Soft Touch Collar, and a Soft Touch Heavy Duty Braided Leash. I think the collar and leash are the best value you will find on any similar product. For dogs who appreciated comfort, and owners who appreciate comfort, good design, and quality with a touch of style, at a reasonable cost, this is the choice.Now, I'll explain in detail why I made those statement; because, I'm a retired Manufacturing Engineering, and Quality Engineering, Manager from the defense industry who likes to tell stories. I recently adopted a 15 month old Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog (I know, I never heard of one either). This dog is a very affectionate, self-minded, "people" dog, who likes to sleep a lot, with major energy bursts in between. He is a water dog who likes to run off the end of the dock into the lake, swim back to the beach, jump up and down looking for admirers; and then, charge off to do it again, over and over. He always attracts people wanting to pet him. When this dog gives you a handshake, or a "love pat" to the arm, leg, or chest you know instantly why they're called a Leopard Dog. I really regret that someone previously taught him to "sit and shake". I wish they had stopped at "sit".I typically walk/train him on a choker collar. He absolutely refuses to move and inch from the back door on the heavy duty run I made him because the heavy duty clip and cable leash pull on the choker. I got him a 1" x 22" leather collar of cheaper quality; because, I wanted to reward him to swim without a chocker, and make the run more comfortable. The cheaper 22" collar was somewhat loose at it's tighest notch, but no other heavy leather product at either the local national pet chain, or local pet boutique came close to fitting him. He immediately tried to get the collar off, and tried to chew the loose end that was left after adjusting to the tightest notch. After his first swim in the pet boutique collar, I left him on the run, on the deck to dry. I came back 15 minutes later; and, he had almost stretched that collar to where he could get loose. The 1" x 22" collar is now 7/8" x 24".The 24" Soft Touch Collar fits perfectly at the tightest notch, leaving room for growth (hope not). It has an inner layer of soft quality leather which is 1 1/2" when flat, continuously stitched with higher quality cord to a 1 3/8" wide, thicker outer layer of quality leather. Delta has made no attempts to remove this collar. The stitching is only interupted where the leash eyelet is attached at the top of the collar. The boutique collar has a rolled pattern on it's edges which looks like stitching. The Soft Touch Collar buckle is secured by double stitching of the folded thick leather. The stitching actually includes 2 loops of cord around the outside of the leather. The boutique buckle is retained by 2 rivets, immediated followed by the leash eyelet and single stitching of the folded leather. The Soft Touch Collar has two leather loops to retain any extra belt, so there is no temptation to chew on whatever hangs out after the buckle. The separate tag eyelet, adjacent to the buckle, is also a big plus because Delta's name tag is prominent, and easily readable to his admirers, while I hold the leash in an attempt to keep him from delivering a "love pat".As for the Soft Touch Leash, it is of the same high quality leather. The people end has the soft inner layer of leather that is stitched all the way into the braid. Both ends are braided, which not only looks good, but provides shock absorption to increase the overall strength of the leash. The design of the braid at the dog end even appears that it would increase the leash's tensile strength. Having designed a run for him in which I wanted no component rated at a load lower than 400 pounds, I know how hard it is to find a leash clip rated at anything higher than 90 pounds. I don't know the load rating of this solid brass clip; but, it appears to be at least as strong as the 210 pound rated plated steel clip I found.Now the topper. I recieved the leash less than 48 hours after ordering it. I put them on the dog, and went for a walk. The dog, and I, were comfortable with the set up. I put the dog in the back of the car, did not take the leash off, and went to change my shirt. In the minute, or two, I was gone, he had chewed through the leash just above the braid. I was not happy with Delta. I decided to write Vaun Duffy Products, with a picture, to explain what had happened. As I stated to them, it was clearly not their fault; but, I like the leash, even if Delta doesn't, and I asked if I could get a discount on a replacement. Gary, from Vaun Duffy, responded within 30 minutes of my e-mail, and shipped me a free replacement.Given my work experience I believe I know World Class values when I see them. I don't know if Gary is the owner, or an employee; but, he's a class act with a class product.

I love the quality of these collars. Nice, thick, strong, high quality leather collars. I love the tag ring that’s separate from the leash ring. The only down side is the smell. The collars smell like cow poop when they first come and it last for a few months. The smell does go away which makes the collar 100% worth it. But man when you first get them the smell is bad.

2nd purchase. The one pictured is 6 years old!Zeus is about 80 lbs and needs a collar that won't fall apart under a heavy load.The only reason I am replacing it is the inside padded part is starting to wear thin.No issues with build quality, fading, or stitching coming loose, also, you can't beat the price.I searched back through my Amazon purchases to see if I could find the same brand, and figured I would leave a review as I buy him a brand new collar. Buy your pooch one of these!!!

We purchased the brown/tan in a size larger for our golden retriever and it fits him perfectly. The collar is very thick and the leather is very rich looking. I love the brass buckle and the separate D ring for tags - we have had several tag rings break or fall off, but everything about this collar is sturdy and well-made, while being beautiful to look at as well.

I love this collar. It’s very good quality and the colors are very pretty. My pup is a 6 month black lab and Great Pyrenees mix so he’s a bit larger than normal labs at 6 months and I ordered him a large. It fits him well but he will be able to grow into it well as it’s on the tightest notch. It is a bit heavier than the other ones he’s had but nothing he can’t handle and it’s only because it’s better quality. The only thing I have to say about it is when he scratches himself he tends to get the collar as well leaving a bit of a mark on the leather. But honestly it isn’t too noticeable and really doesn’t bother me- just something to keep in mind because they tend to scratch their faces a lot!

Supremely well made and lasts forever

This is a beautiful collar. Compliments galore! Very well constructed. It has a soft padded underside for extra comfort. Totally recommend spending the money on this one.

Great quality collar, it’s held up for 3 years now and is still in good shape. Mink oil about once a year to keep the leather healthy. Hoping to get many more years out of it!

Dog does not mind wearing

The blue leather is cracking however the inside is where the quality of this product lies. It is still brand new and super soft. My black labrador looks super classy with his blue collar & I love it for that.

Misleading advertising - this collar is not made of real leather. Internally, the PVC leather is pink in colour and wears out within a month looking shockingly trashy. Regardless of deceptive advertising, at this price point, there's no way this cheap Chinese made garbage can be sold with synthetic material.Shame on you!
