I remember a discussion about these but couldn't find the old thread, wanted everyone to know that Lupine does in fact guarantee their items even if chewed, if your dog chews through it, it will be replaced by Lupine at no charge to you. Just wanted everyone to know. I personally love Lupine, I feel they are stronger, and have prettier patterns. Just ordered the new pattern, Down Under, for Balon because my baby is growing out of his collar. Down under is the new pattern in deep browns and creams, should look pretty on my red/white guy. Oh I don't work for Lupine, just love their stuff.

I saw that "Down Under" pattern last month at my vet's office! I really like it too. I can't justify a new collar right now though.

You should get it and post lots of pics so I can enjoy seeing it on a handsome, red husky!

Personally I love the Dublin "no stink" collar since she's always getting wet

The new No Stink collars are not as well made as the old ones. Kristina was an avid Dublin Dog purchaser and after seeing the "new" product won't be purchasing from them again. I guess they wear out quick and were just made crappier. Bummer since they had such nice collars.

I had a lot of Lupine stuff in the past and it's okay. I think the material is too rough for my liking, but if I had a chewer it'd be a pick for sure.

Is the one I bought newer or older? How to tell?

I like the Lupine collars a lot. I also love how I can get a key chain that matches the collar - its a nice reminder of my pups

Really I don't think the material is rough at all, I used their collars on my dogs for years, but hey just my opinion. I really love their patterns and I also like the keychains they send, I have lots of them, use them for all the extra keys etc. Right now I have the matching one for my Lab on my keys lol!

Depends on when you bought it. I think they clearanced the original ones out like 3 months or so ago?

Ya i got it like 2/3 months ago. Love it so far.

Hey guys, di you choose the medium 13" - 22" for full grown huskies? I can't decide and I cant find my stinking measuring tape!

I did choose medium 13-22 but I have no idea whether it will last until he is full grown, the collar Balon is wearing now is about 13" and it has very little adjustment left, so I went with the 13-22 size. Will it last until he's full grown, who knows, my 11 month lab is already in a large lol.

Yeah, Delilah is easy. She is less than 40 lbs and 2 years old. its the little guy I am worried about. I ordered the muddy paws and tickled pink

Aww I love the tickled pink I had that for my lab last time, this time she has "Ruby Cube" nice and bright for the summer lol

I wish they made down under in small sizes! I think it's silly that their patterns aren't all available in all sizes.

I completely agree with you, it makes me mad with them too! I don't see why all patterns can't come in all sizes. I am afraid the new collar may be a bit loose at first on Balon, but he is a bit more adjustment in his present collar so we shall see! I really think the Down Under will look great with his coloring lol.

I love Lupine stuff! I always have to admire all the patterns in the vet's office when I go.
I personally really like the pattern they did for WoofStock which is black with rainbow colored peace signs.

No kidding!

Yes I like the peace sign one too!

I just wanted to tell you guys know I was reading through some of the old threads and found how much most of you guys liked Lupine and decided to give them a try. I bought Anna the martingale collar and she is a perfect princess when it comes to walking. It is an immediate change from when I hook her leash to her harness. I try to keep her on the collar when a lot of people are out because she goes crazy and it has helped A LOT! So I want to thank you guys:)
