Thanks for responding. These collars are adjustable and it's this part that fails, frightening isn't it. We have since bought an adjustable, sewn leather half check that I think an elephant would have a problem with!

I have spoken with the Supplier again today and told them that these collars should be withdrawn from sale - needless to say they weren't overly impressed!

Please keeping spreading the word, I'm determind to get them off the shelf and if you hear of any more failures, please could you let me know.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I got a half check from PaH, but looking on their website the one I've got isn't on there. Were the ones that you had fail the ones with the snap fastener on? (Thats the only one they've got on their website atm). The one I've got I've had for at least 2 years now and never had any problems with it. It's an adjustable one with 2 sliders on it - it's actually really difficult to adjust the sizing on it.

I wouldn't touch a collar with a plastic clip on out walking with my girl,not a puller,when i stopped to chat i noticed a beautiful dog just like mine walk past off lead looked down and realised it was mine clip just un-clipped no reason.

I use a leather half check on Dennis and a thin rolled leather on my girl no problem.But Alfie knows how to make it loose and then slip out so he is on a collar .

I went into pah today and had a look at the collars there, the only half check one they do is the same one listed on the web site (our local one hasn't had any of the others in for a long time) I had a good look at it and tbh the clasp that locks the collar looked pretty cheap - infact if I was going to get Katie a new half check I'd not be buying one from there. I gave the collar a sharp tug around the clasp and it's definately not safe for a dog that might pull. The plastic is soft and theres no secondary way of stopping the collar from undoing. Looks like next time Katie needs a new collar I'll be spending my money in the small pet shop that charges 5x as much for the same thing.

If you show or know someone who does, ask if they can look there for the collars. We use to get our leads and chain collars for the GSDs from them
