lol thanks! they will recieve the ultmate test of durabiliy tomorow when I try walking Misty with it lol Happys will hold up better as she does not pull, her ring(for attaching the leash) she is not as strong as I made Mistys, just because well the closer we get to the park the harder Misty pulls, when was it, when she was 5 months old I think ity was she pulled so hard her collar AND leash snapped, gthankfilly she does not pull THAT hard anymore, but she is the ultimate test for collar strength
