Yes that's the ones. My friend had Beardies which were shown and she always used those to protect the appearance of the coat around the neck.

I use a rolled leather collar on Dillon, I never take it off him and it does not matt his coat.

Willow's fur used to get matted under her collar so she doesn't wear it in the house, only when we go out. She also has a harness but I got her one with fur on the straps so they don't rub her and it seems to work.

Yup a rolled leather one is what you want

I use rope collars on the Mals, you can't see them and they don't ruin their fur. Got them from pets at home, burgundy, olive green, brown or black. I found some collars broke the hair around the neck and looked awful.

Like Spellweaver I use a half check on Eiko and Kita and they have a big ruff of fur and as they sit more loosely they dont mark their fur, I'm too paranoid to let them go nudey for long!

Fab. My Keeshond had one and it didn't spoil his ruff.

I'm not one for leaving collars on constantly, only when we're out, as even rolled ones can leave an imprint after a long time.

They will also make any size you want - Neo was between the standard sizes and so they made a collar a half size bigger for him.

ETA - they usually have a stand at champ shows

I am looking for a new collar as well so I just looked at the website and some of the collars are Kangaroo Leather
