Swiss Dog Collars - Where from?

We are heading home to Aus and I want to get a traditional Swiss dog collar with brass cows for our dog as a momento of his time here.
Problem is the only place I can find them is off an American website. Seems ridiculous to get one sent via US back to here.
Does anybody know of somewhere to find them?
Many thanks.

Re: Swiss Dog Collars - Where from?

No I really meant dog collars, not cow.
This is what I am looking for.

Re: Swiss Dog Collars - Where from?

I was given such collars as a present and according to labels, they come from here:

http://www.thildyswitzerland.ch/index2.html

give them a call, they will hopefully confess where they sell the collars

That sounds a bit kinky to me, or do you own several dogs?

The ones with the edelweiss motif are also nice:

Have you looked in Landi? Sometimes they have things of this sort if you go to a more rural shop.

Go to www.the-wag-list.com for that's where the photo comes from. They sell both the traditional swiss dog collar in brass and the contemporary one in nickel...

Re: Swiss Dog Collars - Where from?

Hi, thanks but again this website is outside Switzerland and I can't get my head around having to buy one overseas.
As it turns out my fiancé has already returned to Australia and brought one from Heimatwerk at Zurich airport.
