Brew has a Herm Sprenger one but we don’t really use it anymore

He won't pull and lunge in it.

It has to be fitted properly . Snug, not slack.

Yeah, I think I’ve read that. His might be too small now as he’s kinda fat now I might need to buy some more links. Chewy has just the links as well as the collars

Hmm. Those are different from what I am used to. Mine don't join in the middle. Interesting.

They should join at the middle. It’s called the distributor plate. That is what evenly distributes the pressure so it isn’t concentrated in one point, like slips are. You don’t get the full benefit of prongs if they don’t have that in my opinion. And I think they are kind of dangerous without them. That is a lot of pressure concentrated on the trachea.
