It was a leather collar. Very sturdy. I paid close to $30 for it. Something was wrong with the buckle I guess. Because it just came undone and it won't latch now. ---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ---------- I just got her this time just a cheap nylon collar at wal-mart. They have always held up pretty good. I can't really afford to go all out on a new collar at this time. Maybe at Christmas I'll invest in a real good one.
