I got my sisters Labbie boy, Buddy, one of those padded nylon collars those are really nice!

I love leather collars too . . they last SO much longer, and they don't get as dirty/chewed on as nylon collars. I L O V E this site for its leather collars. . Link ^_^ . . if you look at the first collar, its a leather collar with your dogs name embroidered! Its kinda like what you're looking for, with the slide-on letters. Personally, I dunno if the slide-on letters would be that durable? I can imagine Gonzo breaking them instantly, he runs around and slides after his ball so he needs a tough collar. I've seen quite a few leather leashes with an extra handle. They're usually on training sites, like this one Just search Google for "leather dog leash with extra handle" or something like that.
