Title: Tracking collars on bulldogs Post by: let-em-go-10 on March 31, 2011, 02:56:34 pm Hello everyone, I have the GPS and 4 tracking collars waiting at home the new DC-40. I have yet to see them since I'm offshore. My concern is that it won't fit around my bulldogs neck. I see a lot of folks on here just attach it to a bulldogs vest. Has anyone had probelms with them getting hung up on fences, brush or anything like that. Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated. I don't even know how to use it yet, cant wait to get home lol.

Where are you offshore at? Dan Title: Re: Tracking collars on bulldogs Post by: Purebreedcolt on March 31, 2011, 04:09:19 pm I just put them on the bulldog and tighten it amap so it don't flop and it works ok

The dog it was on was half bulldog and half cur dog and was gritty. We ran into a real bad hog and the hog hit the collar sending unit (lexan plastic) and broke it half in two. Saved Reds life.
