The scars shown in the photo of the Dobe's neck are 100% from a prong collar,
Just curious, how would one manage to do that to a dog's neck with a prong collar? I agree the scars are in the shape of a prong collar, but my dogs have never had anything that looked like that? Do you think he sharpened the prongs or something?
For the same reason from what I see in the pictures that it wasn't a prong. Will might be seeing something I'm not in this picture though. It looks like wounds from a e collar that was left on for days on end multiple times which I have seen before. Basically an embedded collar with the stim points going in first. The swelling and the knots which result are recovering tissue or infection where the stim points enter the neck.
If you take a tight bracelet and put it on your wrist and wear it all day it leaves a pressure mark. If you were to leave it on for a week odds are it'd be in your skin in some points.
This whole situation is ugly and lacking some key details.
Melissa,
Here is what I see:
Look at the neck scars. The scars follow a nice, neat line across the dog's neck ( the frontal view with the dog's head being held up, about the 8th photo I believe ) and all the scars appear to be of about the same age. If these were from wearing an ecollar, they'd be in various stages of healing, which they are not.
One or two of the scars follow a more vertical path on the dogs neck, which comes from a harsh correction when the collar isn't well fitted.
I've seen these identical injuries dozens, if not hundreds of times from time with Animal Control.
Even hanging a dog w/a prong doesn't do that. I've seen it done. It would have had to be REPEATEDLY.
From my impression of Mr. G, my guess is that the dog just wasn't that type of dog, and rather than be straightforward, he tried to MAKE him be that kind of dog. Which for a dog who doesn't have the temperament for PPD work, equals abuse.
Thought about that; I've seen it on Pits though, and ain't nothin' as sensitive as a Pit's neck, I swear. I do think a cheap or sharpened prong is part of this equation. A HS simply is not sharp enough to do that.
