Question 1

Is this an actual herm sprenger collar? the description says "herm sprenger quality". i don't want a knock off, i want the real thing, made in germany

Accepted Answer

100% herm sprenger imported from Germany.. Also know the swivel shown is no longer on these collars.. Its a double O ring for added security.. The swivels were failing on some..

Question 2

Does this collar have a swivel loop? Some people say it does and some people say it doesn’t.

Accepted Answer

Yes. The one loop swivels, but I usually latch the leash through both loops so that the collar can’t contract - which allows you to use the prongs to train the dog but not use it like a choke chain.

Question 3

Can the black wear off with metal to metal abrasion? Or are the links and chain solid black steel to the core?

Accepted Answer

I've had two for my 80lb labs and they still look great (black) after a year or so. That said, they are not solid black steel. If you look closely you can see some grey steel showing where there is some abrasion. Mostly between the links. Its not noticeable unless you really look closely. I actually had to go look at mine before answering since it so minimal. Anyway, if you looking for a black training collar I think these are great. Hope this helps!

Question 4

I purchased this collar & need 2 extra links. I can only find the 3.25mm links in the black stainless. Will the 3.25mm links work w/the 3.2mm collar?

Accepted Answer

Greetings.  The Herm Sprenger Collar in this specific Listing is assembled with 3.2 mm prong links / Anodized Black Stainless Steel.  Herm Sprenger makes the Anodized Black Stainless Steel prong links in 3 sizes:  2.25 mm, 3.2 mm, and 3.9 mm.

So, if you are seeing a Listing that is written to offer Anodized Black Stainless Steel prong links in a 3.25 mm size, then that Listing was written with a typo.  It should read 3.2 mm if the Listing is offering the Herm Sprenger product.

Now, Herm Sprenger does make other prong collars and the prong links in other metal compositions and metal finishes, and those models are offered in other prong link sizes:  2.25 mm, 3.2 mm, 3.25 mm, and 3.9 mm.  However, the Anodized Black Stainless Steel is made only in the 3 sizes that are noted above in this message.

You want to keep your collar assembled / lengthened by using the same metal composition and finish to maintain collar integrity and consistent tensile strength, so you are on the right track to purchase only 3.2 mm Anodized Black Stainless Steel prong links.
