Dean and Tyler Dog Collars

Posted by Saint Lover

I am a collar-a-holic, I admit it, I need help! Kinda’ like how most women spend on shoes and purses, I spend (and I am sure nowhere near the $$$) on collars and it makes me happy! I just can’t pass up a great collar. Recently I found a new company called Dean and Tyler online that offers the most beautiful, top of the line, posh leather collars, harnesses and muzzles.  They even cater to the “plus sized” dog. I can’t even tell you how hard it is to find beautiful things for big giant dogs.

Rufus looks so smart in his new collar.

I visited their website for several days admiring the images. I contemplated the nuances of each style, comparing the intricate details and specs. I imagined how each of the designs would look on the boys and how the leather would smell and feel in my hands. I found myself staring at the computer screen daydreaming about them … were we starting a love affair? lol.

I have purchased a ton of gorgeous, fancy collars for my dogs but still had not taken the plunge and bought expensive posh leather ones for the Saint Bernards.  I have actually been a little afraid to drop that much money on a leather collar and have it show up looking like so many of those cheap pleather messes I have seen in many of the pet boutiques.   The Dean & Tyler product pictures were amazing and they looked top of the line so decided I would take my chances.

I narrowed it down my choices to two designs (Plaited Perfection and Tylers Vintage) and it was time to pull the trigger, choose wisely grasshopper. I choose the Tylers Vintage in the 25-27” XL size. Yes, bully breed and big dog owners… they actually carry big boy sizes in stock! Hey Mango… tell mama she needs to get you some fancy new duds!

I was in desperate need of another leather leash as well. I only leather one I had; I got at the expo in Chicago in March. That decision was a lot easier though, they offer exactly what I was looking for. The Braidy Bunch; a ¾” 5 foot leather leash with braiding on the handle and clip to give it extra durability - functional, stylish and elegant.

Satisfied with my choices I sat back and waited for my prized purchase. I expected to wait 6 to 8 weeks for it to ship, and much to my surprise it came in about 2 weeks. .The box arrived and I couldn’t wait to open it.  The anticipation washed over me as I tore open the box.  What I found inside was nothing short of magical.  The collar was sooo much nicer than anything I had even imagined.  It’s thick, buttery handmade leather and embellished with elegant antique brass plates.  The quality and workmanship is superb.  It felt absolutely exquisite in my hands. The photos on the site clearly don’t do the products justice. I love the collar so much I just ordered a second one for Brutus so the boys will match (stay tuned for a picture of them both wearing their BIG BOY BLING!) I could go on and on about how excellent they are, but don’t take my word for it, see for yourself.  Dean & Tyler product are certainly worth every red cent - you won’t be disappointed, I promise.

    Lora, you are the type of person I can only hope my puppies to go to! He’s looks so “fab” in that collar! We are not “collar” people, unless they are shiny show collars! My dogs are naked all the time for safety reasons only in the kennel.

    I love the look of the Dean and Tyler collars. I just might have to get one for my dog, although I just got her a new collar last month.. oh no perhaps I am becoming a collar-a-holic too! That must have been a pleasant surprise to see that your order arrived weeks earlier than expected. :smile: You should consider creating a http://bit.ly/4bybHr poll for your readers. I find them useful and fun as well!

    Absolutely gorgeous, like you I agree you can never have too many collars.

    Im thinking leather myself as the girls latest game is to play tug a war, each pulling on the others collars. I think with any collars and leads buy the best quality you can afford as big dogs put big pressures on equipment… but these combine quality with fine looks… ya got me sold love

    Oooooh. You would be SO unimpressed by the horrid state of my dogs’ collar!

    I love my pups, but they have definitely been shafted when it comes to collars ;)

    I absolutely love these Dean and Tyler collars! The collars defintiely look very high quality and i’m sure my pups would appreciate looking a little more stylish with one of these collars. While they are a little pricier than any collar I would normally purchase, it seems like these will look great and last for a very long time. The term “plus-size” dogs made me laugh, but joking aside, I think it’s great they are creating collars for dogs of all shapes and sizes.
