Great for small but tough pullers, or small dogs with narrow heads!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prices for 1 inch wide martingales;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 Collar- $12 (includes 3-5 day shipping cost in the USA)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;International Orders; please contact me at &lt;a href="mailto:marwagenaar@yahoo.com"&gt;marwagenaar@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt; for prices!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2630630344067401194-8801794862087158747?l=collarsbymarissa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://collarsbymarissa.blogspot.com/feeds/8801794862087158747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://collarsbymarissa.blogspot.com/2010/11/now-offering-1-inch-wide-martingales.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2630630344067401194/posts/default/8801794862087158747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2630630344067401194/posts/default/8801794862087158747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://collarsbymarissa.blogspot.com/2010/11/now-offering-1-inch-wide-martingales.html' title='Now offering 1 inch wide martingales!'/><author><name>Marissa Jo</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04995841670333695882</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='23' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fJOgO6cL-W0/TCPhJLON3YI/AAAAAAAAAMM/_wEfjD14hK4/S220/SDC13227.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2630630344067401194.post-8992463063057779843</id><published>2009-11-22T09:33:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-02T07:23:30.599-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fJOgO6cL-W0/SzbY5Jj-nQI/AAAAAAAAAJc/mGwU29JSm4E/s1600-h/SD535321.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 221px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419757677917936898" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_fJOgO6cL-W0/SzbY5Jj-nQI/AAAAAAAAAJc/mGwU29JSm4E/s320/SD535321.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;1.5 inch wide Martingale&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt; collars&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;are now available!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fJOgO6cL-W0/S_oPZNWAydI/AAAAAAAAAKk/syMiBslq5Ok/s1600/SDC13137.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 174px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474705222775392722" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_fJOgO6cL-W0/S_oPZNWAydI/AAAAAAAAAKk/syMiBslq5Ok/s320/SDC13137.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"&gt;Since January 1, I have now begun selling 1.5 inch wide martingale collars in addition to my 1 inch wide buckle collars. These collars are sturdy, washable, and very nice for your special dog. Each one is a little different in design from the next so if you're looking for unique, I can help you out. These collars are adjustable in size as well.&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt; At this time, I am only able to offer martingale &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;collars to dogs with neck sizes of 14 inches and larger.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to the fabric choices I offer for the martingale collars to be made out of, the option is open for customers to send in fabric they would like a martingale collar made out of for their dog, just as the option is open for buckle collar orders. &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;So if you're not seeing a fabric in my selection that you like but you own some fabric that you would love a collar out of, let me know!&lt;/span&gt; This will reduce the price of your martingale collar by &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;$1.50 off the total price!&lt;/span&gt; Please e-mail me at marwagenaar@yahoo.com to visit about this option!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs024.ash2/34559_412528767412_133856757412_5102371_4329891_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH: 346px; HEIGHT: 169px; CURSOR: pointer" border="0" alt="" src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs024.ash2/34559_412528767412_133856757412_5102371_4329891_n.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I take pride in the quality of my martingale collars' strength and durability, but I do ask that owners of dogs that pull strongly on walks consider their dog's safety when deciding whether to use my collars to walk your dog with.
