We ordered this collar for our 8 month old Long Coated Akita. We could not have been more pleased. This collar is the highest quality down to the smallest detail. The leather padding on the inside is so soft and is one of the features we found most impressive. The design is beautiful, looks exactly as in the photograph. This collar is very well made and she will most likely outgrow it before it wears out. It looks absolutely super on her too. I have already recommended Fordogtrainers.com to other people I've talked with at the dog park.
