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.

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.

I've used this type of collar on dogs with shorter necks...think as long as you measure accurately and order the corresponding size, you will be okay - good luck to you and your poochie - this type of collar is the only one that works for active dogs (in our experience!).

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

We have a 25lb mutt dog and a pocket beagle and the collar is a kinda large for both of them...its way too big for a small dog

I Bought This For My 7week Old Cocker Spaniel (12in). The Collar is a Little Big But Wont Come Off! Not Sure The Type Of Dog You Have But The Medium Is Perfect For Our Puppy Because She's Growing So Quickly. Hope This Helps And It Is A Beautiful Collar By The Way.

Marie: I am really not sure because I did not measure the length because I have a very small dog she is 2yrs.old and only weights no more than 20-30 pounds. If Dog weights this or around this it should fit. By the way I did not have cut off any of the collar!

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.

Yes, it will work good for her. I use it on a similar size adult dog. You may have to trim her hair near where the collar touches her neck.

The collar will work on any breed. The key is to make sure to slide it back and forth a bit to make correct skin contact. If needed, you can purchase longer contacts.

In my opinion this collar would be a little much for a 5 lb dog. My dog is a 50 lb pitbull and it fits her pretty good. My recommendation would be to contact PetSafe to see if they have a smaller one for your doggie. I hope this helps.

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 :]

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.

No, the 3.0 millimeter would be a great. I have a 40 lb. mix and the size of the prongs where great on him. This should be a perfect fit on your dog just make sure it fits snugly around the neck of your dog to keep the safety aspects of collar intact.

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.

The collar pictured is a versatile size and should work well for you. The length is long enough for larger dogs and can be cut shorter for smaller dogs

Not at all, in fact you may have to trim the collar's length. I did! I have mine on a 18 lb. dachshund.
