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 have an 85 lb. Akita and the 20" collar just barely fits around her neck. It is summertime and she is shaved; during the fall/winter months when her fur grows back, this will not fit her.

I have a VERY large Lab - measured her neck - it is 22" and the collar fits easily. The harness part is adjustable - no problem there. The only part that would be a problem is the top choke collar - as it is a fixed size which has to slip over the dogs head. I think you will be fine - should fit OK. I am very happy with the collar and design - it does exactly what it is designed to do - keeps the choke part at the top of the neck and keeps it loose unless you or dog pull on it. I have one for each of my labs - they are great!!! I did get the largest size - think it is just called Large? I have a VERY large Lab - measured her neck - it is 22" and the collar fits easily.

As the owner of a dog daycare, I have seen several of these collars and they have a very long strap. We see people re-looping the end back through the D ring, or cut off the excess. In any event, I believe this collar will fit your puppy with plenty of room to grow.

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.

Yes it will but u will.have to adjust it. The straps are really long, for them to properly fit my yorkies I had to measure and cut the collar straps then I used heavy duty thread to sew strap where it had been cut. Or you can just cut the unit off the strap and try to find another collar to put it on.

depending on the size of dog you have the collar will fit a large dog with no problems. I have no issues with my german sheperd. If you have a medium size dog like my mini aussies you will have alot of excess and it gets alittle difficult trying to place the collar correctly where it wont slide and not too loose.

Out of the box, no. My dog is a Brittany Spaniel, but we also have a 6lb miniature poodle cross and she could slip through the minimum setting on the collar. What you could do is to get a smaller collar or as I did with my pup, just use a safety pin to hold the right size. It worked fine. Mind you my dog grew up to the collar (he is 50lbs now).

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

It's not for small breeds. I have a 30-lb border collie mix, and the collar has enough extra when she wears it to go almost all the way around her neck again. I think it would work fine for a boxer. We keep it on a level 2 most of the time, and she doesn't yelp at all.

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.

It should. Some breeds are more difficult to keep within the boundaries, but this collar will work with the vast majority of pups. If there is a problem, this collar can be adapted with longer prongs (may be included with collar) to be certain the prongs have the proper contact to work effectively. We have had in-ground fences for 20 years now & love them & the freedom they have given our best friends.

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.

it matters if you want this to fit her in the future. German shepherds can get big so this might not fit when she's full grown but it should fit her now for a little while at least. If t does not fit her now, just give it time.

The medium size collar will be too big for an 8 lb puppy. You may want to buy a size small or extra small.

Hey LaurelI bought the small for my Pomeranian puppy. Fit well. Her collar was 9" . You have the option of controlling the size a little because the collar runs through loops on inside of kong collar and you can also adjust by inflating or deflating the kong collar. ;-) hope that helpsRobin

Probably, mine is an 8# Maltese/Yorkie cross. Fits fine. Didn't take hime long to figure out when the collar was on or off. He changes his behaviour accordingly.
