The purpose of the collar is to protect the dog wearing it when and if it has to fight wolves. The collar base protects the dog's throat and carotid arteries, while the spikes are intended to deter bites to the neck or even injure wolves trying to do so.

The Maremas and Pyreneeans are bred for just that task laying low watching the flock and fighting wolves. They're amazing to watch when they go at it. And no I'm not talking about throwing down with wolves just bailing up other dogs that shouldn' t be there. Natural instinct

They are great against coyotes, but less great at defending against a wolf pack.

Just hope the dog doesn't try to scratch it's neck

When you see great pyrs in the mountains it's really confusing, because on the one hand they are basically big floofy labradors, but on the other, they are gigantic wolf slayers. Even the size is confusing, your brain says L, your eyes say XXXXL. No risk as long as they don't think you're a threat to the herd. What constitutes a threat? YOU DO NOT KNOW. We had to pass a bit too close to one while mountain biking and we sent the most heavily armoured rider first...

That's what the dogs want you to think, when they really just wear it because it looks badass.

Not being killed by a wolf is just a nice little perk that comes along with it

Its also why their ears are trimmed. Better to safely shorten them surgically then to be torn fighting with a wolf.

Well, the studs are. The collar itself is usually leather, though exceptions exist, as seen in #1

Sometimes a pig dog might have an armored vest to protect them against being gored .

"Bite attacks" I'd say

*attempts a melee attack... With some neck armor like that, it must be rolled for, beyond that, perfectly put!

When you think about it, it's actually very little armor to wear when you're taking on a pack of wolves

Dogs don't need as much armor as humans do to be badass.
