I'm looking for.....

[ruthcatrin]

A reliable source for rolled leather collars, size 26"and up, pale leather. I'll go custom if I have too, but would prefer not to.

Also taller bowl/feeder. All I can find local is 16"high, and Apollo would prefer taller.

I have used this site out of Calgary, AB, Canada. Don't know if they have rolled leather but worth a look as I know they do carry collars lage enough for my EM in some pretty different styles.

No obvious rolled leather, but I'll hold onto the link, there're some cool collars there.

Check out schaaf leather work. They make very reliable leather stuff.

A friend of mine has rolled leather collars in her shop that she gets from the US... here is the link for the company that makes them.

Oak hill: I'd seen their site, good to know their work is as good as it looks

BlackShadow: holy cow they carry nice and large rolled leather collars! And whats funny is I recognize the name, a local place carries their harnesses, I'll have to pester the person who does the orders about what it would cost to get collars.....

This place has alot of raised bowls, http://www.dogsupplies.com/categories/Dog-Bowls/Raised-Dog-Feeders/
Also I read that a

plant stand from Wall-Mart for $3.99. fits a five quart stainless bowls fit perfectly.
​

You could also use a flower pot for each of the bowls. If your worried about it tipping, just put a couple of bricks or some rocks in the bottom of it.

I know this is a little off base, but I have to suggest them!

Ella's Lead is my addiction. So just know if you buy one of their collars, you'll get a collection! Rebecca is the owner and she's incredibly nice, personable, and just wonderful. When I got my cat back I explained the situation and she made a discounted collar just for her. (I can send pics if you'd like!) They use real leather, mainly latigo leather, that lasts years upon years. (Some customers have had a collar for 5 years still "new" looking.) It's worth the investment, IMO. She also makes collars of all sizes, she's easily been able to make Great Dane collars and would be able to do a TM no problems. She makes leather collars 3" thick for dogs like ours! Again, I know it's off base, but they're my "go to" for collars. I'm not sure if she makes rolled leather, but it's worth an email. She will have you measure their neck sizes and will make the holes according to that.

Here's the website;

The raised bowls on that site: the only ones that go over 16 inches are the adjustable ones, which we had one of, but they just don't last. At least in this household. It was great while he was growing, but he's mostly done gaining height now....and yah, it doesn't stay any more. I might have to look at plant stands though, didn't think of that.

GM, I'll ask about rolled leather, but not all leather places do them. Thank you though!

 

[ruthcatrin]

GM, no rolled leather. I'll hold onto the link though, those'r some nice looking collars.

This man is awesome at Masters Pride and he hand makes everything to your exact measurements. I love his work.

 

[ruthcatrin]

Very nice!

 

[GM2009]

I'm surprised she doesn't, she has just about everything else... Working collars, flyball collars, even the vegan collars! I'll have to suggest that to her. I hope you find what you're looking for, though.

Rolled leather's hard to do. Its not just a matter of adding to inventory.

 

[mkj878]

As far as a feeder goes, I thought this was pretty creative, although I'd probably remove the backs and just let them look like stools

 

[ruthcatrin]

That is cool, not sure I'm that handy though lol.

Me neither, I'd probably have to saw out a square instead of a circle =/

Once Kryten gets a little taller I might make these.

 

[ruthcatrin]

A square wouldn't be the end of the world.....its a cool idea.
