SportDog, SD-1825X, SportHunter 1825X
The SportHunter 1825X is the top of the SportHunter dial-operated family — one mile of range, six dogs on one transmitter, and the same no-look X-Series operation that runs through the entire lineup. Where the 1225X is the right collar for dogs that push past a half mile on a regular basis, the 1825X is for handlers running a full string in open country where dogs can be at distance simultaneously and the handler needs reach on all of them without switching systems. The toggle switch on the remote handles single and two-dog operation directly; three dogs and beyond unlocks through the operation manual. Twenty-one levels of static stimulation adjustable across low, medium, and high ranges on the collar — the same range adjustment available on the 1225X for dogs that consistently work at either end of the scale. Rising continuous static is available as a configurable button function alongside continuous, momentary, tone, vibration, and remote beeper locator. Collar receiver runs 140 to 160 hours between charges; transmitter runs 40 to 60 hours. For dogs 8 pounds or larger with neck sizes 5 to 22 inches. Receiver without strap: 3.15"L x 1.50"W x 1.85"D. Remote with antenna: 7.10"L x 2.13"W x 1.24"D.

During long field sessions, durability and dependable signaling translate to consistent training outcomes. The DryTek waterproofing keeps the collar receiver and remote protected in rain, spray, or shallow water, reducing downtime between retrieves in upland and waterfowl work. In upland training and water retrieves, consistent cues support timing and focus under fatigue and distraction. Regular inspection of hardware contact points and strap fit helps maintain reliable contact during long days afield. For extended sessions, ensure batteries are charged beforehand; the receiver typically delivers extended operation and the remote displays low-battery indicators to flag a recharge. When training multiple dogs, use the toggle to switch between units and keep signal behavior aligned across dogs. After field days, rinse mud from hardware and dry thoroughly before storage in a cool, dry place, avoiding extreme temperatures that can affect battery health. A simple routine of cleaning, charging, and checking fit helps the system perform reliably in field trials, upland tests, and water work. This setup remains ready for the next field training day.
