I have had several of these collars. I have the matching leash which I love...so i keep replacing the collar. Although this collar lasted longer than the old version it inevitably tore. It seems to snag on the smallest thing and then it spreads into a large tear. Love the design and the spare tag ring but I think I now give up.

The old hoopie collar used to snag and rip easily and I went through several of them. It appears the new version has some kind of coating perhaps that makes it a bit stiffer but it hasn't snagged and I've had this for about 6 months!
Love the separate tag ring :)

We wore this collar for about 3 months before a little dog tug of war got the best of the loop that the tags go on. It doesn't look like this loop was attached well, perhaps it should be sewn on? Luckily I didn't lose the tags.

Love this collar because while it's strong, it very lightweight. Because of that, it doesn't break the hair on my boxer's neck. Also the positioning of the clip for the leash is perfect, leaving the tags to hang down where they belong.
Would love more designs.

Love the colors and feel of the collars; easy to adjust and don't seem to bother our girls. We have not had them long enough to see any problems with snagging.....the only downside at this point is the hoop for the tags seems to be very flimsy so we hooked their tags onto the metal loop (which is supposed to be used for attaching the leash)

Would you recommend this product?.: No
I love RuffWear. I love the philisophy behind the gear, I love the look, and their products stand up to the wear and tear of active dogs. Well, typically stand up to the wear and tear... except in the case of of the Hoopie collars. I like the look, feel, and lightness of the collars, but they are easily snagged in normal activities such as urban walks, wearing in house, scratching neck...

not durable
Would you recommend this product?.: No
I bought the Lotus version of this collar because it was attractive and very lightweight and flexible. Bulldogs have lots of extra skin around their necks and I wanted a collar that would easily fold and not irritate. The flexibility and lightweight material are the biggest downsides to this collar. It immediately began to catch on things and snag. The threads of the lotus pattern caught and tore on ordinary things in the house and it was a balled-up mess. It lasted about 4 months.

Over the years we have had several collars but when we came across these that was it! I like like the easy adjustment and how easily it snaps on and off. My favorite part or the best feature the separate hanger for the tags so they do not get mixed in with he leash! I have looked at many other brands...this is the only one with this feature. We are getting a German Shepard so I think this will be a great feature for him as well!

My canine companion(s): border terrier
Comfortable, looks great
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
This collar is so great! Unlike most collars, this one has tubular webbing, so it doesn't have a scratchy top and bottom. The ID tag attachment (which comes on all Ruffwear collars) is fabulous, and it makes a HUGE difference. Guinness usually hates wearing collars, but he doesn't even notice that this one is on. I've only had it for about 2 months, and it seems to be holding up just fine durability-wise.
The only negative thing I have to say about this collar is that it holds onto dirt, so it's harder to keep clean.

Not durable
Would you recommend this product?.: No
I had read all of the great reviews for this product, but was disappointed by the overall durability of this collar. My dog enjoys being outside, but is much more of a sunbathe on the deck kind of guy than a tearing through the woods dog so I've never really had a problem with him wearing out collars before. The nylon of this collar snagged easily and in less than a month of wear. The nylon is also thin and the collar often needed to be tightened over time. I love the separate tag and leash clips and I even tried a different style Ruff Wear collar, but the nylon snagged on that collar as well... In only 2 months.

Nicely designed
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
This is a great collar; durable, functional and nice-looking too. Our dog is tough on hers--hiking, swimming, camping--this collar stands the test. Easily washable. Hazel wears the lotus motif--I really wanted to find a collar that was feminine enough so that people stopped telling me what a handsome boy I had, but without having her wear hot pink and purple all the time. This fits the bill--feminine but not 'girly'. Tag silencer is great and I've only found one small snag on it thus far and this after months of rough wear. Very pleased with the product.

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
I have 2 very active Vizslas. We go off trail quite a bit and they constantly dive off into the underbrush to chase anything that moves. I have not had the issues that other users have complained about. This is my third one of these collars and they have recently changed the material that the collar is made of. The plus is that the material is harder to snag, but the downside is that it is a bit more slick, and I do have to tighten up the collar about once every 1-2 weeks. This new material may have addressed some of the concerns of the people that gave the collar lower stars.

Perfect width for a little dog
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
The small size is the perfect width for my little dog - so many other smaller size collars are very narrow, which must be rather uncomfortable and dig into the neck.
I love the lack of tag noise interfering with quiet country walks.
The only thing I would change about the design is the buckle - it would be a better fit around the neck if it was curved rather than straight.

This is our second Hoopie collar. Hudson outgrew his first one, and the looks and durability of the first influenced us to order the next size. It's a good looking collar and we like the small details like the tag silencer. We would buy another, but i think he has stopped growing!

Strong, well-designed collar
Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!
I've had this collar for a month now and have ben impressed by the quality.
The separate attachment point for a leash is a great idea; if you;ve ever mistakenly connected the leash to the ring attaching the dog's tags, you understand exactly why.
The tag silencer is an excellent yet unexpected bonus. No jingling! This kind of thinking is what make Ruffwear awesome.
I have always been leary of the snap-together collars, but I tried breaking it apart by hand and it wouldn't budge. It requires positive pressure on the buckle to disengage. I am confident it cannot be inadvertantly unbuckled.

We have no complaints with this collar. Love the metal attachment point, love the silencer and the plastic buckle is strong and easy to operate. If people are having trouble with the buckle not staying locked, it may be because they are allowing dog hair to get tangled in it and that allows it to slip open.

This is not a bad collar, don't get me wrong.
PROS: I love the metal ring and the tag silencer. Fits him nicely
CONS: Snags like NO OTHER! My 13 pound yorkie likes to prance through the brush and that snagged his collar. At first I figured that it was just because of the bushes so I didn't allow him back in. Now it snags just from him scratching (not very often). Sadly I will not be buying another one of these collars.

My dog is a loyal Hoopie wearer. After rolling in something special that permanently fouled her last Hoopie she received a fresh one for Christmas. She was very pleased by the new anti-jingle tab and the beefer leash attachment point.

Thie is the 4th version of this collar I've bought for my Silkey terrier "Joey". Love the fact that there is a separate spot to clip his tags on to. It's strong and sturdy (seems to be even more so in this latest edition). His last one was a couple of years old and he just needed something new for Chirstmas. Great quality of products - not cheap but you get what you pay for.

We've been using it for a week only, so i can't say if it is durable yet. I'm happy so far. It looks very pretty, the separate tag ring is ingenious, it is also a very light collar, I think my dog likes it! The leash attachment ring is convenient. The buckle seems tough, though my dog doesn't have a habit to pull a lot.

My kid-with-fur is now sporting the topo color pattern with her Knot-a-Leash or her Quick Draw Leash, and I couldn't be happier. Like other reviewers, I really appreciate the tag silencer and the alternate location for tags, although my pup gets to be "naked" in the house, which means she only dons the collar and leash when we head outside. I am very satisfied with this and the other Ruffwear products I've purchased!

I bought this collar for my 14-year old beagle. I loved the collar and the tesarate hook for tags. He sometimes scratches at his collar, but not to an excessive degree. Within four days, the collar fabric was shredding and splitting. I took the collar back to the store where I bought it; they called Ruffwear who REFUSED to refund my money or even replace it. The store went ahead and refunded my money, because they care about customer service. I will never buy another Ruffwear product.

I have purchased many Ruff wear products and love to support local businesses but Olive only wore her collar one day and it was ruined. She snagged it several times just simply running around in the yard through my landscape. The material is so fragile I am so disappointed as I really loved the print. She also has a life jacket and the all terrain boots and those all work great. This is the second time we had an issue with a collar. :-(

Love the color and pattern. I have 3 old hoopie collars that are 5-10 years old and I switched the new one out for one of the old ones. The new ones are thinner and wider. The old ones LAST and are made a bit sturdier. I love the leash clip and the tag clip separate which is why I will always have a hoopie collar of some sort.

Hoopie Collar is also a favorite of mine since I could not get the Top Rope collar for a while I started using this collar. I've got to say, it's almost as nice as the Top Rope Collar and in some ways I like it better. The leash attachment point is always easy to hook up to but not always at the top. What I like better is that the buckle isn't weighted which I assume is more pleasant for the dogs (although I never saw anything to indicate an issue with the Top Rope).
