MickeyDogs Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I've looked around but can't seem to find a source for leather lanyards. Any suggestions? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Peep Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 They have the kangaroo leather lanyards at border collies in action. 1-800-833-0332. They run 15.99 for natural, latigo, brown & black. The fancy ones, one kangaroo and one horsehair are hand braided and 22.95 http://www.bordercollies.com/shopdisplaypr...mp;cat=Lanyards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloRiver Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 The most beautiful lanyards I've seen online are here (your question prompted me to do a Google search to re-find this website, which I had forgotten about): http://www.stockdoggems.com/shopdisplaypro...mp;cat=Lanyards I've never seen one in person though.

SoloRiver Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Yep, there's a reason why I don't have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Do a search on here on "lanyard" - I recently posted a link to a lady in CA who has some nice stuff for not too much. I am getting something from her for my mother's day present (yes, I buy my own, don't ask). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Crocker Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I've looked around but can't seem to find a source for leather lanyards. Any suggestions? thanks! I got a thin kangaroo braided leash ( for going to the post) and a lanyard from this person. Steve Guitron at www.customrawhide.com. I have bought rawhide bosals and hangers ( horse tack) in the past and he is well known on the West Coast for his braiding. They made the length I asked for so will accomodate the customer. It was the same price I paid from others for the lanyards. Carolyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoskybound Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 lol, I have to know out of curiosity.. what are the lanyards used for? My BC doesn't do herding or agility, so I don't think I would know. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My BC doesn't do herding or agility, so I don't think I would know. lol It goes around your neck, like a necklace and holds your whistle to give directions to your dog. A shepherd's whistle is quite different than a "coaches" one. It is more flat. It comes in many different shapes and sizes. Plastic, buffalo, steel. It is a difficult tool to master. Buy a plastic one on the web and give it a go. It might take you a week to get a "toot" out of it, then play a few tunes. I'd start out with "Happy Birthday" . Once you have mastered this technique, invite a few friends over- it's quite the "entertainment" for the night for anyone that has border collies!!!

NRhodes Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I have a bosalita and mecate made by Steve Guitron, very nice work! Alas, it hasn't seen much use lately and spends a lot of time hanging on the wall :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
