The Dogs & Horses Soft Leather Hound Collar in Navy is a beautifully handcrafted collar designed specifically for Whippets, Italian Greyhounds, Salukis, Lurchers, Greyhounds, and other sighthound breeds. Combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary colour, this elegant collar offers exceptional comfort, security, and style for long-necked dogs. Handmade in London, it is carefully balanced to be soft and lightweight while remaining strong and dependable for everyday use.

Crafted from premium European leather, the collar is soft, pliable, and comfortable from the first wear. The traditional fishtail shape helps distribute pressure across the neck, making it particularly well-suited to sighthounds while helping prevent collars from slipping over the head.

Materials & Care

Made of soft European leather battle-tested against the elements.

Colour-fast (will not leech dye onto your dog's coat)*

Solid brass or nickel-plated (silver) solid load-bearing fittings to ensure strength of the collar and security of your dog.

*do not allow the leather to come into contact with chemicals from liquid flea treatments
A cleaning with dubbin or saddle soap, then buffed with a leather restorative like Neat's Foot Oil or a beeswax product (e.g. Renapur or Leather Genie) will help restore the leather to its natural lustre and protect it against the elements.

Leather and Water. To help ensure the longevity of your dog's leather collar, allow to air-dry (not on a radiator) after it gets wet and ensure it is dry before re-using. Treat with a leather restorative, as above. Although we seal the edges, water can still infiltrate the leather and cause it to deteriorate (cleaning with a damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive cleaner is also fine though always advisable to test to ensure colour does not lift).

Metal fittings. Our solid brass fittings are a ‘living finish’—they will develop a natural patina over time. This is part of their character and can be polished back to a bright finish if preferred. Brass will tarnish as it's exposed to air or damp conditions. Simply treat brass or other metals with a metal cleaner (eg. Brasso). Do not allow your dog to breathe in the fumes from metal cleaners.

Regular Inspection. We encourage regular hands-on inspection and cleaning of your items to ensure against wear and tear and to ensure the comfort and security of your dog.

Do not allow the leather to come into contact with the chemicals from commercially-available flea spot-on treatments. This will damage the leather and may cause the dye to run (this applies to all leather - including car seats or leather upholstered furniture).
