At the bottom of its range it fits a big Labrador or a German Shepherd; at the top it will go round the neck of a mastiff, a Rottweiler or a Newfoundland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAncol call it size 5–9 on their own collar scale. On a dog this size the real value of the adjustment is seasonal: a double coat in February needs several centimetres more collar than the same dog stripped out in July, and the slider absorbs that without a second purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjusts across 25cm, from a 45cm neck to a 70cm neck — Ancol size 5–9, the largest in the range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoly-weave webbing, which Ancol describe as lightweight and weatherproof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-fit and release buckle, so a big collar comes off without wrestling a pin buckle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSliding adjuster sets any length in the range and holds it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated by Ancol for swimming as well as walking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine washable at 30°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidely recyclable, plastic-free packaging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge and giant breeds measuring 45–70cm at the base of the neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGerman Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermanns, larger retrievers, mastiff types and Newfoundlands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavily coated dogs whose neck measurement moves by several centimetres through the year.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig adolescent dogs still adding width across the shoulders and neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNecks under 45cm belong in the 30–50cm size 2–5 Viva adjustable collar, which we stock in black, blue, pink and red.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe two ranges overlap between 45cm and 50cm. Both fit, but this collar sits early in its adjustment there while the 30–50cm one is nearly out of webbing, so on a strong dog in that band this is the one to buy.
