Yesterday I lost a G3 EXP collar off my beagle. It is the factory collar with a roller buckle. It's not a square buckle so the pin goes through the collar and then through a D ring and then a shabby plastic loop that slide along the collar. Shame on me for losing it as I had noticed a couple of times last year that the collar was just hanging on the pup and I fixed it. I knew it was a weak link and should have spent the ten bucks for a new collar with a square buckle to solve that issue. As you can guess it's gone. $140 sitting in in the woods somewhere.
If you have one of these collars with the plastic slide, change it out. I see the new 550 has a different collar, square buckle.
