I have a lab/border collie mix puppy, is there a good chance that this collar will fit her once full grown?

Not sure if this will help but I have a Pit bull/ Boston Terrier mix and she is about 50 pounds and the collar fits well and has plenty of room to make even bigger.

My daughter's Lab is about 90# and a large Border Collie comes in at around 50#, so my best guess is this collar will be too large. It fits my 170# Cane Corso very well. You don't want the collar to be too large or the dog can slip out of it at he worst possible time--or the collar can get caught up on something and be a danger to it. I once rescued a neighbor's Collie that was hanging by its collar off a chain link fence. Don't ever want to see that again. Good luck with your new puppy.

My thought is by the time the pup is full grown you'd want a new collar. Because even though they last months and you can wash them in the dishwasher, it's just nice to get another one in a different color. My full grown Pyrenees has had hers over a year and the color doesn't bleed into her fur, the color is still as intense, and the locking mechanism is still working great, the collar is still like news. But still. Nice to have a change in fashion statements -- And have an extra when one is in the wash.

I think it should. I have a Cavalier King Charles and it is really big on her. lots of room to expand if needed.

I bought this collar for my 55 lb. 1 1/2 year old pit bull and there is plenty of "extra" room. So my guess is that it will fit. FYI - I bought this hoping that it would help to keep her calm when the doorbell rang or someone knocked at the door. Unfortunately it didn't seem to have any affect. It made her "sleepy" for the first day but then she was back to her "normal" self. I've kept in on her hoping it would eventually help but I truly have not noticed a difference. Having said that - many others have had really good results so I guess it depends on the dog. I bought this collar for my 55 lb. 1 1/2 year old pit bull and there is plenty of "extra" room.

You can actually contact thane.com who sell the Don Sullivan Perfect dog collars. S.M.L correspond with the neck measurement of the dog. Small is 14" to 18" and so on. For a puppy that is expected to grow into a large do you may perhaps want to size up since the dog will be growing. Best to check with the company though, I am not an authority.

I wasn't able to use collar -- my dog didn't weigh enough. I would call the Dogtra people and see what they say. Good luck!

I think so. I had to cut off quite a long chunk from the collar to fit well on my dog who weighs about 45. Besides, if you are buying from Amazon, you could always return it. Not sure how easy it is or how much hassle. Hopefully they did not get this big by being jerks about returns.

If you order according to neck size of dog it will be fine. Remember your pup will grow fast and the collar is adjustable. However, if you buy the small or medium now, you may need the large by the time the dog is full grown.

Hi Sandra. Both my dogs are around 18 lbs. The collar is a little big on my female. I am cutting it down to fit. You might have to get a smaller collar, length wise to use it. Just make sure it is the same width.

As a matter of fact, I'm using it on a Beagle mix now, and it will fit just fine. There is enough collar that you can cut off the extra.

I think it might be a bit too big for a 7lb dog. You should contact Dogtra and ask them if they have smaller collars for smaller dogs.

It seems pretty big. I have a lab and i had to cut part of it off because it was so long. LOVE this collar, but we did all the training that went into it before we put it on her.

It should fit just fine. I would order a quick release collar replacement ( info in my original review) I think the quick release collars are more easily scale able to the right size versus the buckle type. The unit is fantastic and has great range. I highly recommend it. Also, if it doesn't work for you, you can always return it.

The collar is adjustable to fit any dog. I have an English Springer Spaniel and A German Shepard it will fit either dog.

I think so, yes. You can extend the collar to fit the neck of your lab. Good luck! :)

We have a 10lb mini yorkie. the collar will fit, but the collar is too stiff (hard plastic) and the electronics box is very big compared to the dog.

I think this collar is definitely too large for them! Dogtra makes ecollars specifically for smaller dogs so I would look those up. I have a 65 lb lab and I had to cut about eight inches off of the collar due to it being so long. However, it fits my 110 lb lab perfectly :]

I am using it on my golden retriever that is 64 labs. I think it would be too long for a border collie's leg, I would go down one size. I do have to say it has worked great for my dog, I would not hesitate to purchase it again...Hope this helps

I'm not sure about the fit, but would not recommend purchasing this collar. The plastic claps isn't very durable. Mine broke after just two weeks, so i sent it back and purchased one with a metal buckle latch.
