Collar for Rottweilers Buying Guide
Rottweilers are heavy and powerful, so it is essential that the collar you choose be strong enough to restrain the dog if it pulls against it, and have a wide enough band to avoid injury. Also, because the weakest part of a collar is the buckle, you should make sure the buckle won’t unlatch or break if your Rottweiler lunges. You should also carefully choose the materials in your collar, as metal buckles and leash rings will rust and fail quickly if exposed to salt water. If you plan to train a younger Rottweiler, you may want a handle on the collar for more positive control. And don’t forget to put the dog’s name on the collar!
Look for a strong collar
A strong collar is essential for restraining a Rottweiler if they pull against a leash. Nylon, a common material for collars, is extremely strong–it sometimes exceeds the material strength of a chain! Leather is another typically strong material, but only if the collar is wide enough. Narrow leather belt-style collars and narrow nylon collars may snap unexpectedly under strain from a Rottweiler. Look for a collar at least 0.75in or 2cm wide. A wider collar is more comfortable and safe for your dog, as narrower collars may cause injury or even strangulation.
Also, look for a strong buckle
Many collars come with plastic locking tabs, which have the benefit of not jingling and being easy to snap on and off. Unfortunately, in the case of heavy and powerful dogs like a Rottweiler, these buckles may unlock suddenly when the dog lunges forcefully, or may actually break entirely. For a Rottweiler, a plastic buckle should be rated to at least 300lbs. Metal, belt-style buckles are a safer bet in the absence of a load rating, but a powerful dog may bend or break a single tang–look for a double tang buckle for added security.
Choose the right collar, buckle, and ring for your environment
As working dogs, Rottweilers love to be outside and sometimes enjoy swimming. If your dog swims often, or even occasionally swims in the ocean, avoid metal buckles. Most steel will rust quickly when exposed to salt water, and even an anti-rust buckle or leash ring will corrode if constantly exposed to water. A heavy-duty plastic buckle is a better option if your Rottweiler spends a lot of time outside and is exposed to rain or water bodies. Some specific metals, like brass, do not rust easily and will withstand water exposure. When it comes to collar materials, leather, will degrade quickly when repeatedly soaked and dried, so if your Rottweiler likes the water then a nylon collar is your best bet.
Personalization Options
Many dog owners prefer Rottweilers for their strength and loyalty, and take great pride in owning one, and being able to display it’s name is a definite bonus. Collars often offer personalization options where the name of the dog is stitched on to the collar itself. Others will allow you to etch a name and address or phone number on the buckle. These are handy options because the kind of tags that attach to large collar can make a lot of jingle noise! Some collars are even wide enough to allow you to sew patches on–a great way to remember your adventures with your Rottweiler!
