Never, never use a collar on a toy dog for walking. Always use a harness of some sort. Collar's put pressure on the throat, which can cause problems with the trachea, and even contribute to a collapsed trachea. The only time my dogs have anything around their neck is when they are in the show ring. We use very thin leads for them and once they are done showing it comes off. If we walk our dogs they always have a harness on. I do have collars for all of them that have their tags on, but I only carry them with me when we go someplace, they never have them on.
