Hey guys my dad just made a leather cut collar, so here are some pics tell me what you think!! The one in the picture is 4" wide 24" long
made out of thick saddle leather on the outer layer and latigo sewed on the underside. I would love to see the hog that could cut through these collars. Hope you like them, there may be an ad in the classifieds coming soon. Give some suggestions too because this one is kind of the prototype.

Sweet looking collars! The only thing I could think of would be a spot for a tracking collar.

What kind of spot for a tracking collar?  Like the loops that Ugly dog collars have? or the extra strap thing like cazadores?

I'm no collar maker but yes something along those lines or maybe some slits which don't line directly up so that the tracking collar could be placed under the cut collar? Just a suggestion that popped into my mind when you asked for feedback.

Yeah there will probably be some for sale pretty soon, the one in the picture is the first one built I'm going to try it out going hunting Saturday morning and will see if anything different needs to be done.

Nice work.  I'm a sucker for a good leather collar.

nice collars make a couple of different versions for the different type of tracking collars. especially since the garmin has that funky bump right on the collar it self. maybe also like a bullet style holder that you can route the antenna through and keep it close to the dog.  Undecided just some ideas

wcg89,

    Great looking collar. I built a leather one last week, I thought it looked pretty good...Then I saw the collar on this thread.  Made me realize just how much room there is for improvement on the one I made.

Please read this post before discussing selling something on ETHD.

http://www.easttexashogdoggers.com/forum/index.php?topic=1427.0

If you really want to sell them to the public on ETHD, I would recommend that you contact Ugly Dog Ranch, and have them broker the collars for you.  They are a great looking product, I know I would buy them...

So he couldnt sell them in the classifieds on this site unless he goes thru them and adds a middle man?

Wcg89- so you make anything else? Like saddle pliar holsters? scabbards? etc...

Not just any middle man.  Ugly Dog Ranch, they have exclusive rights to advertise their cut gear on this site.
      We have two sponsors for ETHD, they support us, therefore we support them.   If someone wants to sell their used cut gear, or something they made, that does not fit properly, then of course they can sell it here.  But, if they start selling new items in competition with our sponsors, that is where the rub comes in.   

 I can name a 1/2 dozen retailers that have tried to advertise their goods on this site. The policy was explained to them, they accepted it, and did not cause a fuss.   They could have taken the initiative to be the first sponsor themselves, rather than Ugly Dog Ranch. If one day UDR decides they no longer want to sponsor the site, then that spot will be opened up. 

Hope all that makes sense.

I should add that selling these items are perfectly acceptable on this site, as they are not in competition with UDR or TNT baypen.

Well I won't make any trouble I respect the rules, but I think he has enough leather to make about 10 or 11 collars maybe. Not going into production or anything like that or trying to compete with UglyDog Ranch, I saw the leather cut collars that Rowdy had for sale on here a while back and the collars that that Rocky guy makes, so I asked Dad to make me some. Would it be ok to put an ad up for just those 10 or 11 collars and then that would be it. Whatever you decide Circle C, doesn't matter to me.

and yes he can make whatever you want, I think he is gonna make a Garmin holster for BLUE LACY pretty soon, just has to get the pattern drawn up for it this weekend. Don't want him to get too swamped with orders cause he is a pipeline welder by trade, the leather is just a hobby.
