The perfect choice for elegant hounds, the `For the Hounds’ leather whippet collar features a silver concho at its centre depicting the head of a sighthound. The whippet collar is made entirely by hand in our Northumberland workshop. We use soft, supple Italian leather and line the collar with the same leather for a velvety smooth feel against your dog’s neck. Smooth rounded edges prevent any danger of rubbing or irritation.
Unlike cheaper collars, this collar is leather throughout, with a sturdy leather core to ensure durability.
We can make this whippet collar in any colour you like. Just take a look at our range of contemporary leather shades and pick one that suits your dog’s coat. The leather is completely colour-fast. Whichever shade you choose, rest assured that it will stay put on the collar, not your dog’s neck.
To protect and support your whippet’s delicate neck, we make this collar in a fishtail shape. It measures 1¾” at its widest point and tapers to a ¾” buckle and strap.
Would you like a matching lead?
To complete the look, we can make an Italian leather lead in the same colour. It will be approximately 1 metre long, with a handy D-ring on the handle for clipping around your shoulder or waist while your whippet is off lead.
For whippets, we recommend a 3/4“ or 5/8” width to prevent the clasp becoming too heavy for them.
Choose from any of our Italian calf leathers to have your luxury leather sighthound collar made in. Whether you choose a traditional black or brown leather dog collar, or a bright lime green collar, we're sure you'll love the finished custom dog collar.
Measuring a sighthound for a collar
Step 1
If you have a sighthound such as an Italian Greyhound, Whippet, lurcher or Greyhound for example, rather than measuring around the middle of the neck, wrap the tape measure so that it is fairly snug, just behind the ears and under the chin at the top of the neck.
Step 2
Make a note of this reading and then take a look at the sizes we offer for each of our bespoke collars.
We would recommend that you choose the collar size where the smallest hole would be as close to the neck measurement as possible.
For example
If your dog has a neck size of roughly 13.5”, then you should choose a 13” - 15” collar size. This will give enough room to tighten it should they lose a little weight, and it gives enough room to slacken it if needed.
