The Martingale

$215.00AUD

For dogs whose necks are wider than their skulls. Greyhounds, whippets, French Bulldogs. Tightens only as far as the collar's own limit and no further, so it cannot be pulled over the head and cannot choke.

Unsure? Measure below. A dog between two sizes goes to the bench.

Natural

Natural is undyed and arrives pale. It darkens for about two years and then stops, and no two collars end up the same colour.

Measured at the bench or at home. Fill these in and the size below is read from them. Leave them blank and we will email you before anything is cut.

This is the opening run One side of bridle butt yields fewer pieces than you would expect, so the first run is small and we would rather sell out than over-order. Pieces are cut in the order they are reserved. Allow ten days on the bench, then two to five in the post. You are charged now and told the day it is cut.
