we got dexter at 8 weeks and i had a nylon adjustable collar that is 5/8 inches wide and and adjusts from 10 inches to 16 inches.
right now at 12 weeks, he's about half way through the length of it, but i don't expect it to last much longer so i have a 3/4 inch nylon one ready that goes from 14-20 inches and by then i hope he will have graduated to BIG BOY status and i can go crazy with regular collars ;D

Thanks pj!! I saw the CUTEST little girl collars that I couldn't help buying, but their pattern only comes in an XS (up to 12 inches), so I figure, the new pup will be only be able to wear them for a week or two! :
Hi Baloo's future mom! (I love the name!!) Where are you?? Henry came from Gorsebrook, in Oshawa. His breeder, Leslie, is awesome!! Who are you getting Baloo from??

Baloo will be coming from a kennel in Arthur Ont. called "Atkinsday" see here: (there's new pictures of his litter up, check it out!) (his mom is "Cedar")

However, This is Katie's first litter, so all of the breeding, whelping, etc. is being done at Cooperslane under the watchful eye of Valerie Cooper, who's been breeding labs for like, 25 years or something. (Katie works at Cooperslane, that's how she got involved in breeding!) site here: http://www.cooperslane.com/ So our guarantee and everything still comes through Cooperslane.
They're both awesome awesome people, and their dogs just blew me away when I met them, they were so amazingly beautiful, and more importantly, sweet and nice!
Henry's really cute!

Oh my gosh, Cedar's puppies' pics are too cute!! ;D Ah, puppy breath!!
The worst part for me was knowing Henry had been born, and just counting the days before I could bring him home! I used to drive up every week after he was 4 weeks old just to visit and play with the pups! I lived in StoneyCreek then, so it was way closer!

yp, the 10-16 one fit him fine at 8wks. not loose on his neck. the width looked a little heavy (maybe 1/2inch would have been better) but that was the best option at the time and i knew he'd be grown into and out of it within a matter of weeks.Baloo317 said:

While my dogs rarely actually wear collars, they each have a couple "outfits" because I love buying them Bono's collar is 12-18". Piper's first collar was 10-14". Puzzle's was 12-18" but it was a little too big on her for a week or so. They all came home at 7 or 7.5 wks.
Now...share what you're up to!!

Oooooh, Nicole!! I like the purple one!! Where did you get it??
I ordered this one: http://3dirtydawgz.com/ct2.html
and this one: http://3dirtydawgz.com/images/cat/ct6.jpg
from Lori at 3 dirty dawgz. heehee.
I know I shouldn't be buying puppy stuff now, it's still a year away (dog fertility gods willing) but I'm too excited! This pup will have tons of stuff by the time she gets home, especially considering my collar obsession. She already has a pink ZoomGroom!
Yes, it's official, I've put in a reservation for a chubby yellow girl! The litter (blacks and yellows) is expected this winter, so by this time next year, hopefully, Henery will have a baby sister!!! Eeeeeee!!!!! ;D

Remington is in an 18" collar now... it's on the 2nd hole. He has one more hole to go and I'll have to get a bigger one. He is 15 weeks old today.
