we love the Dublin dogs collar. We bought the orangeish red one and it is still bright and vibrant two years later. and never any smells, even after lake water.
I haven't used this collar, however I know ruffwear makes one called the Headwater.
Ruffwear Headwater
The dublin dog collars look nice though!

We ended up getting the Dublin No Stink Waterproof Collar; it looks to be very well made

We have the Ruffwear Headwater. I like it. Dublin Dog is good too.

I have a suggestion...
Don't require your dog to wear a collar in the water. There's a reason field dogs don't work with collars on. They can get hung up on branches and other vegetation. Just sayin'.
Alternatively, there is a new(ish) company called Wetmutts and they mostly make (fabulous) mats for crates. But I was at a hunt test that they (among others) sponsored. In addition to the mats they donated, they offered collars in several handsome colors.
Check them out for both the mats and the collars.
I don't know about hunt tests but we go to pheasant shoots and take our dog on real hunts as well and I always see dogs with collars on, most of them have e collars on. We put the biothane collar with the ring in the middle on D. If they get "caught" the collar can flip over easily
You're right. Since the advent of the e-collar a lot of hunters use it while hunting. We obviously use it when training in the water. That said, we know the water in which we're training because it's a specific training pond or water we use regularly... (at least, back in the days when we had water) and we know it's free of debris. But hey... if the dogs are on a release and it's just a fun swim or walk through the countryside... what need is there for a collar?

I just bought Dublin Dog no stink waterproof for my dogs and they are beautiful! I got the red snapper and brook trout and they look amazing, even better than the pics!
Great quality, they were a little big, probably should have ordered the mediums instead off large, but I just cut the excess off and it looks great.
I also ordered them tags from Boomerang tag, love the quality.
