Guide to sizing for dog collar measurement

Buckle collar (1):
To measure your dog collar size: take a flexible measuring tape and place it around middle of the neck (or where you place it on the neck) placing the width of two fingers (not flat but pointing out like a scissors) between the tape and the neck. You can also use a string and tranfert on a ruler.
This is the size of collar to order. I will make the collar with this measurement as the center hole.
-The buckle collar measure is from tip of buckle to middle hole, please specify if you have a growing puppy. You can also measure a used collar from the inside tip of the buckle to the hole you use (this is the best way to determine size).

Chain martingale collar (2) and/or slip collar (3):
Take the measurement of the dog head at the largest area in front of the ears, this is the size to order. You can also give me the size of the neck.
Chain martingale measure is circonference with chain open, the chain open/close on 3.75 inches. Take note that brass chain will tarnish white hairs if leave on dog for long periods. Chrome plated chain is available on request.

Sighthound martingale all leather (4):
Take the exact measurement of the middle dog neck (not the higest part of the neck), this is the size to order.

Options for leashes and collars
Identity plate:
I can place an engraved plate on almost any collar.

Color of leather available
Actual colors may slightly vary from the picture. English leather used come from England (not to be confused with american "english" bridle leather), the curriers J.E Sedgwick
I also use quality american leather for western saddlery.

RED now available. Please note that some colors are in limited quantities.

Snaps available for dog leashes
Many style available, from the baby snap to the bull snap.
I recommend the x-duty snap for dogs over 60-70pounds. The regular trigger snap is a nice size for dogs 20-60pounds. The baby snap look very nice for miniatures and small breeds, but require dexterity to open. Solid brass= yellow, gold colored metal / Stainless steel= silver colored metal
Both are cast metal, not plated, they are very solid. I choose the best hardware i can find. For a x-duty usage or no care hardware, choose stainless steel. Brass always tarnish, it do not stay bright yellow unless you shine it regulary, it turn to a nice brown patina.

Heavy and X-large stainless steel snaps for giant breedsTake note that the spring snap have a very large metal part on top, so it need a dee deep enough to snap it.

Buckles available for dog collars
Solid brass= yellow, gold colored metal / Stainless steel= silver colored metal
Both are cast metal, not plated, they are very solid. I choose the best hardware i can find. For a x-duty usage or no care hardware, choose stainless steel. Brass always tarnish, it do not stay bright yellow unless you shine it regulary, it turn to a nice brown patina
