Mountain Trail Leather
Size 16.5 Purple Leather Dog Tag / Slip Collar Combo
Size 16.5 Purple Leather Dog Tag / Slip Collar Combo
This leather dog slip combo collar is made from premium, full-grain 8-10oz Wickett & Craig bridle leather. It is among the highest end vegetable tanned leathers in the world. Located in Curwensville, PA, USA, Wickett & Craig is known for quality, durability, and rich finishes. The leather is drum dyed in a range of finishes then hot stuffed with waxes making this leather smooth and flexible with a waxy texture on both sides. The leather breaks in quickly and gets even better with age.
The hardware is high quality solid brass and the leash is hand-stitched using the traditional saddler's method with Ritza Tiger Thread in a color that coordinates with the leather. The edges are meticulously hand-painted with premium edge paint that matches the leather color making the edges round and smooth. The result is a beautiful, soft, and durable leather collar that will last a lifetime.
This ID dog collar / slip collar combo is perfect for hanging identification tags from so you can use multiple different collars without worrying about changing the tags. It is also nice for long-coated dog breeds to have a thin collar for identification purposes which will not break their coat. The snap can be attached to the sliding ring to convert the tag collar into a slip collar for training or dog shows. I do not recommend using this as a collar to walk your dog on unless they are extremely well-behaved and they do not pull.
Sizing: This collar is designed to slide on and off of your dog's head. Measure the circumference around the largest part of your dog's head and under the chin using a cloth measuring tape or string. Make sure the string is tight, but can still go over their head and fit comfortably on their neck.
Sizing of this collar: This collar is 3/8" wide, purple, and has nickel-plated brass hardware. It was made for dogs with measurements of 16.5" and will fit dogs with measurements between 15.5" and 17".
Please note that while on the stationary ring, the collar is meant to slide over the dogs head in case it gets caught on something for the dog's safety, just like the normal ID dog collar. If you want the collar to not be able to slide off at all, leave this preference in the comments during checkout.
Recommended widths:
3/8" = up to 25 pounds
1/2 = up to 40 pounds and more
You can size down in width only if you need a collar to: only hold tags, train or compete in obedience or confirmation, or if your dog is very well trained and never pulls during walks. This leather width is thin and can hurt your dog if used incorrectly.
