This is the second ‘Big boy collar’ I’ve ordered from Bastia! I remain impressed with the first one I purchased OVER THREE YEARS AGO- My large euro boxer male- Chief Anubis - wears it every single day and gets more compliments than I can keep track of. It is very well made and I trust the material, stitching and hardware 100% with a leash and no backup lead. Incase the collar or leash were to break - it means my pup is safe from harm and that is all the peace i need. The leather is QUALITY! He has wore it daily for over three years and it looks BRAND NEW. Not one thread has frayed, no scratches or fading on the leather, ALL embellishments remain firmly intact. I can’t saw enough about how quality these are - Out of curiosity i got the cheaper versions and all were broken or frayed within two weeks of my 2 year old boxer wearing them. I realized quickly that the price WORTH IT FOR THE QUALITY of these pieces. Geronimo , chiefs brother from the same mom and dad…. Just turned three and got his ….and it’s BEAUTIUL and will most def be wearing it for years to come . Thanks for such a beautifully crafted product!!!
