Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
We (that being the royal we…as in "me") are handcrafters of quality latigo dog collars and belts. Our belief is that beauty is useful and useful is beautiful. All our products rely on the inherent characteristics of the elements they are made from for strength, purpose and beauty.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Our collars have been road tested for over 5 years now on Mastiffs, American Bulldogs, Great Danes, Standard Poodles, Labradors, Pit Bulls, Mutts and one “I don’t know what that is but boy is she fast and can she swim!” aka Betty. They have gouges in steel, worn down past finishes to the brass, brought in tree limbs through dog doors and had killer Pug attacks to the leather and still go strong!

Shipping Policy
Area served: If a dog lives there, and the occasional human too, we will get it there. Shipping Methods: USPS Priority and USPS Global Priority are standard shipping. Expedited or other carrier arrangements can be made. Please contact us. Briar the American Bulldog, aka Bratwurst, needs the exercise and will be happily obliged for courier service...although her map reading skills are still questionable.
Installation Policy
Extend hand, nuggle dog behind the ear. Beware of impromptu slobbery kisses. HOW TO SIZE: “Size” refers to the largest hole on the collar. Each collar has 5 holes at 1 inch spacing. For example: a size 20 ranges from 20 to 16 inch holes (20, 19, 18, 17, 16). Obviously targeting the center hole gives the most range for adjusting the collar. -Comes in standard sizes 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30 -Other sizes would be custom orders (and we love custom orders! Since we cut the leather ourselves, any size is possible from tiny to giant...as long as it fits on a cow!) HOW TO MEASURE: Measure the dog’s actual neck size where the collar naturally rests (comfortably place the measuring tape or string: do NOT hang loose or pull tight...just like you would measure your own waist). For example if the dog measures 20 inches at the neck…then a size 22 inch collar would be suggested. (The center hole is 20 inches.) We use standard collar sizes, if you have one now that you love and it is a standard commercial product, they SHOULD be the same. You can also measure your current collar: measure from the hole you are currently using to the inside edge of the buckle (where the tip of the prong meets the buckle).
