Staffy Collars: How to choose the best collar for my Staffy

Staffy collars have caused a lot of debate among Staffy owners. Do you prefer the stiff, masculine type or maybe the harness, or how about some Staffordshire bull terrier bling? With studs or without studs?

Years ago there weren’t many options when it came to Staffy dog ​​collars, and yet now it seems like you can buy Staffy collars anywhere, especially online.

Although dog collars are now a fashion accessory, we must not forget that they must also have a purpose.

The Staffordshire bull terrier breed is one of the strongest on the planet and, pound for pound, will give many dogs a run for their money.

This can prove challenging for some owners who are often swept away by a Staffy puppy. However, here are some guidelines

First of all, make sure you choose something that fits you well. Measure the circumference around your staff’s neck, then use that as a guide for the collar. The usual guideline is to make sure you can fit 2 fingers under the collar. This ensures that it fits properly and does not choke your Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

You’ll also need a Staffy collar that’s tough enough to withstand the scratches Staffordshire bull terriers get when they’re out for a walk. Remember that they are a terrier and have a basic terrier instinct to forage and explore. Our advice is that you do not opt ​​for material necklaces. It’s a false economy and they don’t last. Leather or a leather substitute is best. The exception to this is your Staffy puppies’ first collar. This can be material and is a great way to get your Staffordshire bull terrier puppies used to the feel.

Finally, keep checking them to see if they are worn. Depends on your Staffy. If you have a Staffy pup, they will outgrow it quickly. Once they reach 18 months, the main growth will have stopped. I thought with a Staffy after this age they can still thicken around the neck so watch out for this.
