I will agree with him/her on one thing and thats advertising the death of a dog. I read over and over about not showing pics of cut dogs but yet day in and day out we talk about cut dogs and dead dogs...

May not be a pic but its still ammunition for the enemy.
To each his own! If a cut collar is put on too loose or too tight it can herder movement.
Why did you quote me? I said nothing about cut collars or vests.... To each is own on that subject. I personally dont run vests on anything but catch dogs. I have friends that dont run them at all.. Its their dogs and they can do that.
