I didn't think I would want/need a plain, black collar but I have changed my mind! The black Summit is a perfect staple to have in your pup's closet. Great for matching with any scarf ;) and it is SO EASY. I was a little worried the black material may show scratching, but so far it has held strong and is very resilient and durable. Pictured with Findlay scarf - can you get any better?
