blitz3 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 I thought most people used a collar and leas set like THIS when it comes to showing Staffords? i do have 1 of those collars but if hes playing up hes easier on a choke i just thought a snake chain would look nicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I use a snake chain on an OES which doesn't tangle the hair. I also use one on my female weim but only because she showed better on it. i find some show worse on a chain than nylon/soft slips or martingales. I'd make sure it works well on your dog (ie borrow one) before purchasing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbreedlover Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I thought most people used a collar and leas set like THIS when it comes to showing Staffords? Most do. but some dont.Personal preference I guess. I love the look of the collars and leads but heck there are some out of control Staffords that need checking.

kirst_goldens Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 i have a friend who shows staffords and she uses the collar on her boy and a chain on her bitch - the bitch slips the collar set unfortunately... i thing those collar sets are very deceptive and hide a long neck very well hahahaha they do look nice but a chain also has the same effect and gives more control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showpony Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Hi, I went to a handling seminar and what was recommended there was a flat linked check chain, reason being is they release easier, quicker and with a very slight hand movement. It took me alot of google searching to find them........they come in different gauges and lengths but from what I can see only in silver........and they work as the pro handler said, they are excellent.

smacka Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 i have a friend who shows staffords and she uses the collar on her boy and a chain on her bitch - the bitch slips the collar set unfortunately... i thing those collar sets are very deceptive and hide a long neck very well hahahaha they do look nice but a chain also has the same effect and gives more control And conceals so much of a correct neck that the head looks to be sitting directly on the shoulders..... No one can show everywhere of course, but where I participate most aren't using the stafford collars these days. Snake chains, check chains & sprenger martingales seem to the collars of choice. These types held under the jaw give an unimpeded view of the dog profile on the stack. I have about six stafford collars rolling around the bottom of my tack box that hardly ever see the light of day any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
