Which size links do most of you use for your GSD? I thought I remembered reading some posts where people favored the smaller size + extra links, rather than the large size prong (now I can't find that post again, lol)
I'm thinking of purchasing one of the quick release prongs to replace the prong I currently use. I have trouble getting the prongs apart- not sure if it's the strength of my fingers or the quality of the collar... the dog I would purchase it for is +/- 80 lbs, and doesn't need to gain any more for his size. Have to go measure his neck size, but i think he's around 19". I currently use the Large size- it seems to work well, just wondering if there's any benefit to going smaller. I also use the dom dog as a back-up.
Personally I use 2.25mm prongs on my GSD's.I started with 3.2mm but find the smaller links make for a better fit and require a mre gentle touch. I bought 3 collars and added links to make 2 that fit perfectly and still have a few spare links. This works well for me and after more than a year I have had no problems using the small links.

Just as a follow up- I went with the 'small'. Ordered three collars as described by a few posters and combined. I'm very happy with them-- not only are the herm sprenger (sp?) much better quality than the generic from petco that I had, but the small worked wonders. I never used to be able to correct one of my dogs effectively, he'd look around like "was that a fly?". Now he responds well to even a low level correction.
