Definition:

March 2005 - neck to show below collar:

"the collar was drawn as if the wolf's head were resting on it. Precedent says, "When an animal's head is collared, the neck shows above and beneath the collar, and the collar is treated as a tertiary charge. In this armory, the cat's head rests atop a disproportionately wide and deep collar. The cat's neck is not visible beneath the collar. This does not appear to be a period way of depicting a collared animal's head" [Cristal Fleur de la Mer, 02/03, R-Caid]. While the collar on this wolf's head is a reasonable size, it must be redrawn so that the wolf's neck is visible below the collar." [2005 LoAR]

Conflict:

March 2012 LoAR - DC for good contrast:

#235Bloodstone, Canton of. Badge. (Fieldless) On a lozenge gules, a griffin's head contourny erased argent collared sable studded argent. "...As we consider good-contrast collars on beast heads as a distinct charge..." [Except for dog collars, see 2010 precedent below] http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2012/03/12-03lar.html#235

February 2010 LoAR - collars on dogs vs. horses:

#20Gabriella Marguerite Simonetti Rucellai. Badge. (Fieldless) A horse's head erased argent collared gules. "This month, we are partially overturning a precedent elsewhere and declaring that collars on canines are artistic detailing, not worth difference. Research into the use of collars on horses revealed no collared horse heads. Therefore, collars on horse heads will still be considered tertiary charges as long as they have good contrast with the charge on which they are placed." http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2010/02/10-02lar.html

December 2002 LoAR - collars on head vs whole animal:

"Current precedent gives a CD for collaring an animal's head (as if the collar were a tertiary charge) but does not give a CD for adding a collar to a whole animal." [2002 LoAR Cover Letter]
