Garmin dc 50 question

[daron606]

I am looking to buy a new astro 320. I've had some people tell me that the dc 50 is a little big for beagles. I run about 14 inch dogs. Any one that has one care to share info on them. Thank you

CHECK WITH CHUCK AT PLUM CREEK KENNEL SUPPLIES WHEN HE GETS BACK FROM VACATION HE CARRIES A SHORTEND VERSION FOR SMALLER DOGS IF NEEDED

i think think they are like the collars for the alpha. if you remove ther rivot and d ring it will gain you an inch or so.

Ok thanks for the info.

Go with the Dc50 it is a better collar than the Dc40.

Thanks. I was leaning toward the dc 40 but I can get the 50 for the same price.

i bought a brand new 6 dog system of the dc 50s when they first come out I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM FOR BEAGLES they are square and blocky and BIG.....i run 14 1/2 to 15 inch dogs and every single one of my dogs was beating there left front leg up to the point that they would limp on it and get a raw spot at the bend of there knee... i called lion country supply and told them about the problem and they said that they had have a couple other people saying the same thing and gave me my money back.... then a friend a mine already had 4 of the 40 collars and ordered 1 new 50 collar it did the same thing and he also sent it back so i hope this helps good luck
