Collar Styles and Hardware Options
Scroll through below to learn about all the different collar styles & hardware options we offer, if there's something you want but it isn't listed below, let us know! We are always happy to take on custom orders and chances are we have more options than listed below anyways!
Classic/Regular Collar with Plastic Buckle
Available in: 3/4", 1", 1.5", & 2" wide
Photos are outdated, I no longer use plastic slide/adjusters, they're now either silver or brass unless custom ordered otherwise.
The classic/regular plastic collar is pretty much just that. The buckle is plastic, paired with your choice of silver or brass slide & d-ring. The 3/4" and 1" wide plastic hardware is available in all colors (Black, Grey, White, Sand, Tan, Brown, Olive, Neon Green, Green, Navy, Blue, Purple, Pink, Neon Pink, Raspberry, Red, Orange, and Yellow.) 1.5" wide is available in select colors (Black, White, Pink, Red, Brown, Navy, and Tan) 2" wide is currently only available in black.
Classic/Regular Collar with Silver hardware
Available in: 3/4", 1", 1.5", & 2" wide
The classic/regular silver collar is just like the plastic collar style above except with silver metal completely (no plastic). The 3/4" and 1" buckles are the style in the top left and bottom right photos, and the 1.5" and 2" buckles are the style in the top right and left bottom photos.
Classic/Regular Collar with Brass/Gold hardware
Available in: 3/4" and 1" wide Only.
Much like the silver and plastic classic collars above, the collar features a solid brass slide and d-ring with a brass plated buckle. This option is only available in 3/4" and 1" wide, sadly I am unable to find a reliable source for wider buckles. We have brass in other collar styles if you continue reading below!
Limited Slip Collar (with or without a buckle)
Available in: 3/4", 1", 1.5", & 2" wide available in Silver or Brass
(If adding a buckle, silver is available in all widths, brass is only in 3/4" or 1" wide)
Limited slip collars operate in a similar fashion of a fabric martingale/chain martingale collar, as it tightens only to a certain point. The upside to a limited slip collar VS a fabric martingale is these adjust a little more meaning they're more ideal for still growing dogs, and they're a bit more lightweight as they use less hardware. Which is also ideal for smaller dogs or dogs with more dainty necks. This also means they are more budget friendly as well! This style is my personal favorite.
O-Ring Tag Collars
Available in: 3/4" & 1" wide only & Silver or Brass/Gold
Tag collars are pretty self explanatory, they're collars that hold dog tags. They're meant to be lightweight and low profile for holding your dogs tags. While they are sturdy they aren't meant for walking your dog or to be used with a leash. They're only available in 3/4" and 1" wide to keep them lightweight. They're available in both silver and brass/gold hardware. - Also photographed in a matte black hardware which is available by special request.
Chain Martingale in Silver hardware (with or without a buckle)
Available in: 3/4", 1", 1.5", & 2" wide
All of our martingales come with an extra d-ring for tags or when the martingale function is not needed. (Can be made without upon request - or if your dog's neck is too small it may be left off by default - Please note if you have a preference when ordering.)
Martingale collars are meant to tighten slightly when pulled to prevent dogs from slipping out of their collars. This is a commonly desired collar with breeds that have smaller heads than necks, such as: greyhounds, whippets, and salukis. (Although any breed can use a martingale). While adding a buckle is an option, we heavily advise against adding a buckle to your martingale if your dog is still growing, or if your dog has a smaller neck due to the bulk of the buckle, and the small room of adjustability they have. If needed the extra d-ring may be removed to allow for extra adjustability.
Chain Martingale in Brass/Gold hardware (with or without a buckle in select sizes)
Available in 3/4", 1", or 1.5" wide (with out a buckle) - 3/4" or 1" wide ONLY if adding a buckle.
Brass buckles are only available in 3/4" and 1" wide but the brass chain martingale is available in 3/4", 1", and 1.5" wide (Not available in 2" wide)
All of our martingales come with an extra d-ring for tags or when the martingale function is not needed. (Can be made without upon request - or if your dog's neck is too small it may be left off by default - Please note if you have a preference when ordering.)

Fabric Martingale with Silver Hardware (with or without a buckle)
Available in: 3/4", 1", 1.5", & 2" wide

Fabric Martingale with Brass/Gold hardware (with or without a buckle)
Available in: 3/4", 1", 1.5" & 2" wide (without a buckle) - Or 3/4" & 1" wide (with a buckle)
All of our martingales come with an extra d-ring for tags or when the martingale function is not needed. (Can be made without upon request) Our fabric martingales can be made into a two toned martingale (two different fabrics) just by putting in the notes what fabric you want for the martingale loop. Martingale collars are meant to tighten when pulled to prevent dogs from slipping out of their collars. This is a commonly desired collar with breeds that have smaller heads than necks, such as: greyhounds, whippets, and salukis. (Although any breed can use these of course lol). We heavily advise against adding the buckle if your dog is still growing, or your dog has a small neck due to the bulk and the small amount of adjustability they have.
No Buckle Slide Collar
Available in: 3/4", 1", 1.5", & 2" wide & Silver, Brass/Gold, and Black Powder Coated lightweight hardware.
The no buckle slide collar features an adjusting slide, a d-ring for a leash or tags, and then another slide in the center instead of where a buckle would be if it were a classic collar. These collars are a low profile collar VS a classic buckle collar. You adjust the collar, slip it on, and the tighten to the ideal fit. It is very important to tighten the collar once on the dog to ensure they can not back out of it, I do not recommend these for dogs that like to escape. These are one of the few styles available in all widths and hardware options.
Breakaway Tag Collar
Available in: 3/4", 1", & 1.5" wide and in silver or brass hardware with a black plastic buckle.
Breakaway tag collars at first glance look similar to a classic/regular collar, however the buckle on these collars pop open when approx. 8 lbs of pressure is applied. That means if your dog ever gets caught on something the collar will pop open allowing your dog to break free. We call this style tag collar because the d-ring is only meant for holding tags. This style is NOT for walking your dog. The buckle is always black, hardware is your choice of silver or brass.
Leash Friendly Breakaway Collar
-- PICTURE COMING SOON --
Available in: 3/4", 1", & 1.5" wide and in silver or brass hardware with a plastic buckle.
Leash friendly breakaway collars are similar to the breakaway tag collar we describe above, however you may notice it has an extra d-ring on the other side of the breakaway buckle. By attaching your leash to BOTH d-rings it prevents the buckle from popping open while walking your dog. When the leash is removed you still have the safety feature of the breakaway collar with the added bonus of being able to walk your dog on this collar when needed. Available in the same widths and hardware as above.
