Really well made and smart looking,
July 13, 2012
By: Fetlar13
from Liverpool, UK
"Bought two of these collars one for my Hungarian Vizsla and one for my German Shorthaired Pointer, both dogs look really smart in their matching collars. Only thing I would mention is that the sizing guide on the Orvis website wasn't too clear. The 16" and 18" etc, measurements are actually to the centre hole of the collar. As very helpful guy called Wayne on the on-line help soon sorted out my question."

"My Dad found this collar whilst searching online. It's the best quality collar I've come across. Much better than the ones available in the pet shops. Solid Brass buckles are rare on these types of products."

Great looking, great lasting,
March 20, 2013
By: ToddC
"I was so bummed when our old one went flying off the roof of our car (where I'd left it - dumb!) and onto the highway. Good looking, without being flashy or tacky. The only unsatisfying thing is that, with this newer one, the handle seems to be made of a tougher, less flexible (and cheaper feeling) leather than the rest of the leash, which is soft & pliable from the day I got it. But I do like this leash & collar set."

Great looking high quality collar,
February 28, 2013
By: StellaTheVizsla
from Northern Virginia
"Great dog collar. Just ordered my second one for my vizsla. Has held up very well for 2 years with daily swims in the river and an entire summer at the beach. This collar still looks very good after two years. My dog likes to roll her neck in deer poo in the woods. Repeated deer poo applications have created a smell that just will not completely go away after being hand washed with soap. For this reason, I am getting a new one."

Poor,

By: Alfy

"Did not like the Orvis logo on the shot shell. Anyway Wilb went for one swim and the shot shell rusted. The leather discoloured and warped badly and will not be restored by cleaning. His previous leather collar made of high quality leather laster almost two years of this treatment"

Lovely Leather Collar,
January 2, 2013
By: FudgeyFoo
from Blackburn, UK
"Ordered the Shotshell Collar and the quality of the product definitely deserves 5 stars. Only marked as 4 stars as the Name Tag did not have a space between the name and telephone number. It didn't warrant sending it back however but was slightly disappointed with that aspect. Everyone has commented on how lovely the collar is. My dog's previous collar length was 20" but I ordered 18" from Orvis based on other customer reviews and it was perfect fit. Well done Orvis on a lovely product. My dog is an Irish Setter."

Great Collar! #2 for 9 year old Lab.,
December 31, 2012
By: WaterDog52
from Outside of Seattle, WA
"1st collar had seen better days after nearly 9 years. Unfortunately it was one of the original Federal shotshell collars before they went to the stamped Orvis metal plates. Anyways, still the best looking collar on the market and the minimal upcharge for the customization is well worth it. My guy put this thing thru the ringer, he still goes all out, all the time and we were 8 waterfowl seasons into it. Well done Orvis, will continue to purchase this item for my boys for years to come."

Look and fit are great!,

By: Buddyb
from Nashville
"I am a big black lab and didn't care much for those nylon sissy collars. This collar fits and looks great! It doesn't itch like the nylon ones. Although I don't wander far from home, the collar has my name and family phone number. I highly recommend this collar to all of my canine friends who want a collar which really fits their personality"

By: goosemom

"Bought this for my labrador. The quality is great and the leather is beautiful as well as the brass details. I had to return the first one I ordered as it fit on the last hole and I was worried it was too small. Customer service was great and I had no issues returning the first one. They sent me the next size up right away. Thank you!"

Great product,
December 28, 2012
By: Salpal242
"This collar was a great purchase. It came quickly by mail, even though I got mine customized. The sizing fit great, I recommend measuring your dog firstly and getting that size, or if necessary, the next size up. My German shorthaired pointer's neck size was exactly 18" and the 18" collar fit perfectly."

Great Collars,

By: Betsy5
from San Antonio, TX
"We bought two 20" collars for our German Shorthaired Pointers, Abbott & Costello. They fit the boys perfectly. We found the collars to be well-made and we really like the sturdy buckle. The engraved brass plates are very nice. Abbott & Costello look very handsome in their new collars. Thanks Orvis!"

"I have dogs and this is the 3rd time i have bought this I have had a few collers over the years and this is by far the best as when dogs are of leash they have disces and they come of as the dog is running free, and the leather is very good and all my dogs look very smart and i get asked a lot were we got it from. so thank you Orvis."

Excellent Purchase,

By: claysmoker
from Surrey
"I bought two of these for my Gordon Setters in the Banchory shop last week while on a shooting holiday,I wish that I had been informed by the staff that I could have had a brass id tag attached.Also the sizing is confusing as the collars are longer than the statd lenght."
