So, I finally saw a Paco Collar in real life today. A customer came in with one on her Vizsla. I have to say, it looked pretty flimsy compared to my Ella's Lead collar! The hardware and craftsmanship just didn't seem all that great. Look at this buckle: and compare it to this buckle: Which would you rather have on your dog when he sees a squirrel and bolts towards it? I know which one I'd rather have... I think I'll stick with Ella's Lead. So I guess I'm saying that I'm really not all that impressed, plus I'm still annoyed/angry about this: pacocollars.com/products/faux-vegan-bracelet/

My Paco Collars are by far the most sturdy collars I've ever encountered. I have two collars and a leash from them. They have taken beatings from my AmStaf and my Malinois, and not a single decoration has even come loose. My friend has two collars that are also strong enough to contain a bull. I won't buy leather from anywhere else.

Maybe they are great, but I, personally, wasn't impressed with the one I saw (the same style as the one I posted above). It just doesn't look all that tough compared to Saxon's Ella's Lead collar. I'll stick to Ella's Lead. The hardware is sturdy, the workmanship is solid, and the owners are nice and respectful.

I can vouch for their strength (paco collars). Eko has had one for over two years, and it's bullet proof. That buckle is solid brass. It's not going to break.

I've only heard good things about Paco collars. Everyone who has one seems to love them.

I guess looks can be deceiving. Happy to hear that they are working out well for those that have them!

^ I am still peeved at the faux vegan collar too. That was in bad taste.
I obviously don't buy Paco collars regardless, since they are leather....

They have a product for sale called the "Faux Vegan Bracelet." Here is the product description: A long time ago Ana Poe made a vegan bracelet in an attempt to be a better person. Last night at three a.m. while cleaning her room Ana rediscovered her long lost bracelet. So today the faux vegan bracelet was born! High quality, hand cut leather, all the regular best-of-the-best hardware, and unbelievable style found only here, at Paco Collars. Snatch yourself this new signature piece and dress stylee like all the coolest vegans…without any of the guilt. pacocollars.com/products/faux-vegan-bracelet/I guess they were trying to be funny, but it's just plain rude.

"Snatch yourself this new signature piece and dress stylee like all the coolest vegans…without any of the guilt." They are trying to be ironic and funny by writing the description as the exact opposite of something a vegan would say, but it just comes across as making fun of vegans. It is made of LEATHER and they are calling it "FAUX" vegan... WTF? They are just being unfunny and rude.
