We are very proud to add these spectacular new
Handmade Martingale
collars to our site! These special dog
collars come in three widths and offer two
choices of hardware, brass or silver tone.
The wide width Martingale dog collar is used
primarily by
Sight hounds
such as the regal
Saluki
and Grey Hounds.
The Sight hound Breed needs wide collars to
protect their trachea when walking on a
lead. A more narrow collar can collapse the
trachea in a breed with long slender necks
if the dog lunges suddenly. The Martingale collar also is an excellent choice
for smaller breeds such as Whippets, Italian Greyhounds or Min-Pins.
The Martingale
dog collar is also specifically designed
with a unique release feature built into
it's design that is very good for dogs which
have a tendency to pull on their lead when
walking. The Martingale collar will tighten
gently on the dog's neck if he pulls and
will release when the dog stops pulling and
walks as he should by your side.

ANATOMY OF A MARTINGALE DOG COLLAR
The
Martingale collar is very nice for other
large and smaller breeds as well and that is why most
of our collars are offered in three
widths...1", 1½" and two inch. All our
Martingale collars are completely handmade
using the finest materials and we're sure
you will love them once you try them. We
will be adding other style materials in our
Martingale Dog collars on a continuing basis.
We will offer geometric designs, floral
designs, holiday and special occasion
as well as some matching collar and
lead sets. The ribbons used in the collars include imported silks, jacquards,
tapestries as well as some retro designs. Our most spectacular Martingale dog
collars have
Swarovski crystals hand sewn
into the design to create gorgeous, sparkling collars that will draw rave
reviews wherever you walk your dog!
We're sure you will find
something very special for your pet in our Martingale dog collars section. And
while browsing this part of our site please notice the handmade velvet leads
will we will have displayed to coordinate with the beautiful Martingales. The
handmade velvet leads are very durable and can even be washed. They have an
adjustable wrist strap for your comfort and come in 4' and 6' lengths.

Martingale dog collar using our guidelines

All Martingale dog collars are handmade as
they are ordered. Please allow 2 weeks for your collar or handmade lead to be
made before they are actually shipped. We know you will think they are well
worth the wait once you see them!

HOW THE
MARTINGALE COLLAR
WORKS ON YOUR DOG'S NECK

Left to right,
showing how a Martingale collar
safely and gently tightens around
your dog's neck as he pulls or
lunges away from you. Quality
Martingale collars are highly
recommended for all sight hounds,
Salukis and any dog breed which has
a ling slender neck. A well-fit,
quality Martingale collar will
prevent these breeds from
experiencing the excruciating pain
of a collapsed trachea which can
occur if they wear a thin collar not
designed specifically for these
breeds.
HOW TO
MEASURE YOUR DOG FOR A
MARTINGALE COLLAR

To measure
your dog for a Martingale
Collar, use a soft tape
measure or a piece of string
and take the measurements at
point A, B, and C in the
drawing below. Choose the
size that fits within this
range to ensure that your
collar fits perfectly.
For Sight
Hounds, the measurement at
points A and B may be the
same or very similar, this
is because their heads are
often the same size or
smaller than their necks.
For non-Sight Hounds, these
measurements will be
different and you will need
to choose a collar size that
is large enough to slip over
the head (point A) but not
too large to fit correctly
at point B.
In other
words, choose the smallest
size that will still fit
your dog. If your dog has a
15 inch neck, choose the
Medium, which is adjustable
from 13-18 inches rather
than the Large, which is
adjustable from 15-20
inches.
