My canine companion(s): Goldendoodle

Great Collar!

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

This is a wonderful collar and the perfect size for our 30 lb doodle! These are very durable collars and the color doesnt fade. I've had a couple of Ruffwear collars and I love how well they hold up, and no matter how hard the dog pulls, there is no stretching or breaking.

My canine companion(s): Mini Schnauzers

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.

I love the quality and designs of this collar so much that Im sure it will continue to be the main collars that my dogs wear. Super fun designs and very easy to adjust while not stretching out despite daily visits to the lake.

Sturdy, Light

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I got the cascades design for my corgi; it's not our usual collar, I use the Knot-a-just mostly, but this is a good collar for times when you want an extra beefy product (hiking, etc) that can also stand out more (since the knot-a-just settles in the fur - can't see it well). The tag silencer is nice too!

Love the look an design but it unravels if you blink at it

Would you recommend this product?.: No

I love the look and features of this collar. However, with very little use it starts to unravel. I use it just for her ID and walk her with a harness. I exchanged the last one about a week ago and it's already unravelling! This is the third collar that did this. Needs to be more durable!! Disappointed :( Love all my other Ruffwear products!

First Class Collar

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

Ruffwear has simply the best dog gear available. Although the price is steep (especially after shipping costs) I am a true believer in you get what you pay for. The fit and finish of the Hoopie collar is great...my only suggestion would be a broader color / style selection...

Great

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

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!

My canine companion(s): Dalmatian

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.

Great product!

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

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.

My canine companion(s): Yorkie

So-so

Would you recommend this product?.: No

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.

Love this collar

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

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.

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

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.

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

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!

This collar is cute and well made but the metal ring that attaches to leash has a smaller than normal opening and my dog gets his back toe nails stuck in it when he scratches his neck. Now he only wears his collar when he goes outside and is supervised.

Poor quality, disappointing customer service

Would you recommend this product?.: No

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 bought this collar for both of my dogs. I noticed after a week of wear that my one dog's collar hap pulls all over it. This evening, I noticed that the other one is the same with pulls, but worse. I usually like ruffwear gear and had a collar for years that was great. These are not durable at all and are a wast of money!

Great collar concept but lousy material

Would you recommend this product?.: No

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).
