Measuring your hound’s Neck for a perfect fit
Donât measure an old collar â they all fit differently!
Instead, use a soft tape measure (or string and a ruler) and measure directly around your dogâs neck:
- Find the spot where you want the collar to sit (see Barney’s neck guide below).
- Measure snug but not tight â you should be able to slip two fingers under the tape.
- Note the number in inches (or cm if you prefer).
- Choose the collar size closest to that number or enter a custom measurement in the custom box
Extra Tips to Avoid Mistakes
- Greyhounds & sighthounds have very longs necks so collars sit slightly different, don’t measure too low down else the collar will be too big.
- Donât add âextraâ length, I will allow for collar thickness.
- Rope & paracord collars donât stretch, so the measurement should be accurate, not guesswork.
- Don’t use an existing collar for measurement, all collars fit differently.
Alterations
We do understand that mistakes can be made when measuring your pet. If you find that your collar doesn’t fit qute right you can return it to be amended.
Alterations are a fixed rate of ÂŁ8 per alteration plus return poatage.

Not Just for Greyhounds
We love sighthounds (obviously), but our collars can be made for any dog â tiny, fluffy, chunky, or somewhere in between.
Grab a soft tape measure and check around the base of your dogâs neck, where the collar will sit. Leave enough room to slide two fingers underneath for comfort. Thatâs it simple.
