well, the whole - it's really a good thing- and if Barb has it - I need to have one too
though I must say that I already have the thinning shears 
Is there a "Sheltie" collar?

You got the thinning shears! Which ones did you get???
I've been holding off to make one big order:
- new nail dremel
- thinning shears
- special toys
- grooming table/arm
So many choices. My mind spinning with indecision!

I posted the link in the shears thread- the shears set from Petedge- pretty rainbow colors- 3 shears for ~$100.
I'm happy with the Peticure
Callie doesn't play with toys
She gets groomed on the floor
I want some thinning shears myself! Only for the pants area though. It's very funny. I'm going to have to get a picture from up top. All ruff, fuzzy pants, and he looks naked in the middle! I really need to trim his fur up before stuff gets caught in it.

Duncan just graduated to his 2nd collar! His first was a hand-me-down from Pierre, which I only expected to last 2 weeks, not almost 5. I went with an adjustable flat nylon martingale. The cinch part is also nylon. The smallest is goes down to is 10" so it is a little too big at the moment. I got it at the same local business where I get their Taste of the Wild. It was $6 and is a solid blue. Nothing too fancy while he is growing up (and it adjusts to much bigger, so I think this will be the last collar before his fancy martingale).
I used the chance to test the 10" size on Pierre. It went on fine, but I had a moment of freak-out while I tried to pull it off. It slipped off once I realized it would be better to fold his ears back and under the collar first (they are huge ears compared to his body - part of the Papillon allure). Now I can breathe easy about my purchase and I know I have a good fit.
And for Pierre's LBD collar, we got a Green and Gold theme for my alma mater (USF Bulls) with the spotted design. With Duncan, we have more options for design as with 6 strands you can be more creative. I think we'll stick with the Green and Gold, which is really green and hazel, but have a different design. In any case, I am sure they will slip into the ruff where you can't tell. But we have a lot of Bull pride (Pierre even has a lucky jersey for game days - he's convinced that's why we were able to pull off the FSU game) and I am *sure* they will know how good they look.

They mostly slip into the ruff - at least for Indy, who's fur is very thick. Bacca's still pokes out sometimes. His is tan and turquoize. Looks great! Indy's is black and turquoize.
And yes someday, I will get the leads too!
Calliesmom, what do you think....should we send in an invoice for our commission cheque?

I probably won't buy the matching leash (Smudge already has too many of those!), but I will absolutely be buying the collar when I'm sure he's grown. I actually don't think he's going to get much bigger. I was hoping he would be the same size as my other sheltie, but I don't think he will. Gizmo was much taller.
When you're a sheltie owner you can forget fancy collars. You can't see them! So you have to buy functional collars and spring for the pretty leashes instead.
Smudge has a vet leash (it has skulls on it for poison! ), his Trixie and Peanut leash, a blue leash, and I'm sure there are others hiding out somewhere...
I also want one of those cool leash hangers they make. Several websites will do custom ones for you with a painted picture of your dog!
