BLOCKY DOGS ®
was first to implement the use of rivets in nylon collars and
the original creator of the buckle-closure-martingale-style: the
BLOCKY DUAL Grip™ collar.
Don't settle for an imitation.
BLOCKY
DOGS ®
collars are designed to address the special needs of large and
giant breed dogs, and working dogs. As owners of American Bulldogs
we’ve been through quite a few collars over the years. We
took a look at all the things we didn’t like about all those
collars and aimed to correct what we viewed as deficiencies by
creating the BLOCKY
DOGS ® collars. Our dogs have
worn their BLOCKY DOGS ®
collars consistently since the day we put them on them three years
ago when we started the business and the collars are just as heavy-duty
today as the day we put them on. Below is a breakdown of the features
that explains what makes these collars different and better:
- The Webbing
- The double-ply nylon webbing used in every BLOCKY
DOGS ® collar has an average
break strength of over 12,000 pounds.
- The Width
- The 2-inch width spreads out the strain placed on the trachea
by pulling; putting less force on the trachea.
- The Hardware
- ONLY stainless steel, nickel-plated steel and solid brass
are used. All
hardware is welded.
- The Buckle
- Because stronger breeds too often break the usual single prong
buckles,
BLOCKY DOGS ® collars use
only double-tongue buckles to spread out the stress points and
reduce the chances of a buckle tongue snapping under pressure.
- The Grommets
- Brass grommets in heat-sealed holes prevent stretching and
fraying.
- The Stitching
- BLOCKY
DOGS ® collars are double-stitched
on all edges with rot, mold, mildew and heat resistant bonded
nylon thread.
- The Tiny
ID Tag D-ring is designed to lay to the side of your
dog’s neck instead of down in front on the chest where
other tags fall. Why? Well, while we bully breed owners LOVE
our cuddly bully breeds, think of the average-joe and the perception
he/she has: dangerous, scary dog! I designed the i.d. tag d-ring
to hang to the side of the dog’s neck with the thought
that if your dog gets loose, ANYONE should be able to see the
tags from a distance without having to approach your dog and
fumble under their chin (mouth) to get a good look at their
tags.
- BLOCKY
DUAL Grip™ collar:
When not in use, it is normal for the grip part of the collar
to lay to one side of your dog’s neck. This slight tilt
is accounted for when the embroidery is applied and when the
collar lays to the side, it causes the embroidery to be right
up on top.
- The Embroidery:
Each of the three designs of collars lay differently on a dog’s
neck. The weight of the D-rings and buckle cause them to usually
fall below your dog’s chin when the collar is not attached
to a leash. The embroidery is applied with this in mind. On
the D-above-Buckle™ style collars, the embroidery is applied
so that when your dog is in a sit position on lead, a person
looking at your dog can read the collar from the front. If you
want the embroidery on top, just turn the collar around your
dog’s neck.
- Durability
- BLOCKY
DOGS ® collars are fade-resistant,
colorfast, and machine washable. Click on the

Here
is a collar Buster-Beaumont
wore for about 6 months before I put it in the washer. You can
see the grime build-up on the underside from coat oils etc.
and the mud on the outside as well as the black stripe the buckle
roller tends to leave near the buckle holes. A little Oxiclean
mixed with water sprayed on the underside as well as on the
stripe left by the buckle roller; put it in a pilowcase; pop
it in the washer on a cold-water cycle with your regular laundry;
let it AIR DRY, and TA--DAH! Brand New!!
The net result is a
nylon collar with the strength of a leather collar; yet with the
varietal selection of 12 (twelve colors of nylon webbing in 3
styles, with an optional center stripe (23 choices).
• Flat
• Blocky DUAL Grip™
collar (a multi-functional martingale style collar with a central
loop that is strong enough and wide enough to use as a handle
to gain quick control)
• D-above-Buckle™ style
