Dogs are very hard on their dog collars but they want to look good when they go to that B-B-Q with you Sunday afternoon. They want to walk proudly next to you as you walk in packing that fancy gun rig.
The cartriges in the loops below are .380 with 9MM's tightly in them. The bullets were first turned upside down over a fire until the lead melted out of the jackets, then removed as soon as possible to avoid discoloration of the jackets. If the lead was left in place the cartridges are too heavy and gravity swings them down under the dogs neck where they can't be seen. But the light jackets look convincinging and the collar stays put. Small holes are drilled in the back into the brass and the thicker base of the bullet jackets then cut down finishing nails are hammered in place then super glued. The lining covers up the nail heads afterward. The two hearts are put so close to the buckle that they act as counterwight to the cartridges, just in case. And they are pretty.Lots of work but the dog's like it.
Our dog Heather is too little for one of these so I've only made them for other people's dogs.
