Review on CollarDirect Rolled Leather Dog Collar, Soft Padded Round Puppy Collar With Handmade Genuine Leather - Small To Large Cat & Dog Collars In 13 Colors (14-16 Inch, Brown Textured) by David Nelson

UPDATE: Ostensibly because of my former (two-star) review; I was contacted by the manufacturer of these collars, who informed me the collar design has been updated and asked if I would like to receive one in exchange for an updated review. I've received it and I agree that the design is significantly better now that it was. Where there were formally two layers of leather stitched together where the holes are punched there are now three, and I'm confident it will hold up very well to the tugs of my 18-pound dog. I can't vouch for the collar's strength if it were to be tested by a large/strong dog, but for any well-behaved dog up to medium or medium/large I think it would work very well.(Below is my ORIGINAL review:)I bought this for a little 18-pound rescue dog, thinking that, even if it is not the strongest collar in the world, it will work for a dog this size. But she isn't super-well-trained yet and still pulls sometimes, especially if encountering another dog, and after two walks and a couple of mighty tugs on the leash, this collar was noticeably stretched, such that I was worried about it slipping over her head. I returned it.It's very soft and supple leather, but also very thin, not very strong (I think the "rolled" section has nylon in the center, but the flat portion does not, and that's where it stretches). I can only recommend this for the very smallest of dogs, and also for cats.
