Herm Sprenger Fur Saver Dog Training Collar, 25 in Matte Stainless Steel, 4 mm

Herm Sprenger’s matte stainless steel Fur Saver is a slip-chain training collar for medium and large dogs, with a 25 inch (63 cm) overall length and 4 mm wire gauge.

• Fits a neck up to 22 inches (56 cm) — choose the size using your dog’s neck and head measurements.
• Long-link design for long and fine fur — the links are designed not to tangle or damage the coat.
• Two O-rings offer two leash attachment options — use the live ring for slip-chain training or the dead ring as an ordinary neck collar.
• Welded links — made to provide strength and durability for dogs with strong necks.
• Made in Germany — both O-rings bear the Sprenger HS-Germany seal.

This collar is made for handlers who want one chain collar that can serve a training or show-chain role and can also be configured as an ordinary neck collar. Its long links are intended for dogs with long or fine fur, while the two ring positions let you choose how the leash connects.

How do I choose the right size?

The collar fits dogs with a neck no larger than the stated maximum, and it is not adjustable. Measure your dog’s neck with a soft measuring tape, then add 3 inches (7.6 cm) to estimate the overall collar length needed for a snug fit. Also account for your dog’s head: the collar slips over the head, so the opening must pass over it.

• Use a soft measuring tape around the neck.
• Compare the measurement with the collar’s overall length and consider head size before choosing.

How do the two O-rings change how the collar works?

Feed the chain through an O-ring to create a loop that slips over the dog’s head. Attach the leash to the live O-ring to use the chain as a training choke collar, behavior-correction collar, or show chain; use the dead O-ring to configure it as an ordinary neck collar for everyday activities.

• The live-ring position creates the slip-chain training setup.
• The dead-ring position creates the ordinary-collar setup.

What makes the chain suited to long or fine fur?

The collar combines a matte stainless steel finish with elongated links intended to help avoid tangling or damaging long and fine fur. The finish is scratch resistant, and the links have welded connections.

• Matte finish gives the chain its understated appearance.
• Elongated links create the fur-saver design.
• Two O-rings carry the HS-Germany seal of quality.

This Herm Sprenger collar suits handlers looking for a German-made chain collar for training, show use, or everyday wear in its dead-ring configuration, particularly for dogs with long or fine fur. It is a fixed-size, over-the-head collar, so neck and head measurements guide the fit.
