The Herm Sprenger fur saver in black is a long-link 3 mm chain collar in black stainless steel, available in six lengths from 50 cm to 72 cm for training and everyday handling.
The long links run freely and reduce hair breakage on long and fine coats, giving a clean release after each lead signal. The black finish is blackened and polished stainless steel, which wears to an antique look with use.

For a proper fit, Herm Sprenger collars should sit just below the dog's ears. To find the right size, measure around the widest part of your dog's head with a piece of string and add an extra 3 cm so the chain can pass comfortably over the head. Sizes are measured from 'O' ring to 'O' ring and are approximate, with a variance of +/- 10 mm.
How to fit: hold one end ring and drop the chain through it to make a loop, then slip the loop over your dog's head. Clip the lead to the free (live) ring if you want the chain to tighten and release, or to the ring the chain runs through (dead ring), or to both, if you don't. Step-by-step fitting guide.
Choosing a length: measure the neck where the collar will sit, just below the ears. Herm Sprenger lists this collar's 50, 53, 57, 61, 65 and 72 cm lengths for necks up to 43, 46, 50, 54, 58 and 65 cm. The chain also has to pass over the head, so check the length is more than your dog's head measurement. Full sizing table.
Safety: Herm Sprenger says to take a chain like this off completely when your dog is off lead, so it can't catch on branches or during play. Our trainers also recommend never leaving it on in a crate or on an unsupervised dog.
Competition rules
- IGP trials: the dog wears a single-row, loose-fitting, large-link chain collar for the whole trial, such as a long-link fur saver. This collar is a single-row, long-link chain.
- For tracking, a tracking harness or Böttger harness can be worn in addition to the chain collar, and the tracking line can clip straight to the loose-fitting collar.
