Herman Sprenger fur saver chain with snap hook - long 4 cm link - stainless steel - 3 mm

A Herman Sprenger fur saver with long 4 cm links, in natural stainless steel, with the Sprenger snap hook. 3 mm wire, the version for medium dogs. Herman Sprenger is a German maker with more than 150 years of history, whose equipment is the standard in professional dog training worldwide.

Put on like a collar, not over the head

The Sprenger snap hook clips into any link of the chain. You never pull the collar over your dog's head and you set the size yourself, link by link. The same chain stays with your dog from puppy to adult, because it grows along with them.

Long links and the coat

Long links are kind to the coat. With long, fine hair the chain breaks and pulls out hair less often than versions with shorter links, because a single link is less likely to close on a tuft of fur.

Which dog it suits

The manufacturer recommends 3 mm wire for medium dogs and names the Dalmatian, Dobermann, Beagle, Australian Shepherd and Labrador.

How to choose the length

Next to the total length we give the maximum neck circumference at which the chain still closes. Measure your dog's neck at its widest point just behind the ears and choose the version whose maximum circumference is larger than your measurement, so there is room for adjustment.

If your dog's head is wider than the neck, also measure the head circumference at its widest point, across the ears and cheekbones. A chain you want to put on over the head without unclipping the snap hook cannot be shorter than that circumference.

Uncoated steel

Stainless steel copes with rain, mud and swimming, does not rust and rinses clean under running water. In daily use it lasts longer and is easier to care for than nylon or leather. In this version the steel is not coloured, so the colour stays stable for the whole life of the chain and does not stain a light coat.
