Good2 Go Camo Control Handle Collar for Big Dogs, XX-Large/3X-Large

I bought this collar for my 115 pound Dane/Lab/Pit mix. He was older and was a gentle giant so I never had to use any force with the collar. Fast forward a year or so, we have Cane Corso and at about 8 months old he was 85 pounds, we had him on a 50 ft lead in the yard with this collar. He saw the neighbors dog and took off to go play not realizing he was still hooked to the lead. Well if you can imagine the immediate stop when the lead came tight…it took him off his feet but he immediately stood up and the collar came off. (This is a comical story for us because we thought he'd be terrified but then he realized he was free to run to play) Writing this review because I was just looking at the specs and saw the “1000 Ib pull tested” 😂 I guess the D ring may be but the metal buckle/clasp could fail like it did in our case. LOL Our Cane Corso is now 14 months and 115 pounds, was considering ordering this collar again because I do love the control handle but I am nervous that the clasp may fail again.

This is a good looking collar and is well made but the size is not true to weight measurements. I've bought more than one collar in the past that was just too tight for our big dog. With our dogs weight being 120 lbs the 2XX-3XX should have fit but it was way too big and couldn't be adjusted down enough to fit. Now I only hope the XXL-2XX will fit as I've ordered it to replace this one.
