Product Information

Full details

This guide is for owners of sighthound breeds, such as whippets, greyhounds, and lurchers, seeking a durable and comfortable leather collar. The Ancol Timberwolf Whippet collar offers exceptional strength and supple comfort due to its top-grain bridle leather construction, treated for water and stain resistance. A key caveat is that while water-resistant, the leather is porous and can be affected by saturation.

FAQs

What makes this collar suitable for Whippets?

The collar features a wider strap design specifically to protect the windpipe and minimize slippage, which is ideal for the slender neck and specific conformation of sighthound breeds like whippets.

How should I clean the leather collar?

Wipe the collar with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. If the collar gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from heat sources.

Will the leather dye rub off on my dog's fur?

While treated to resist stains, leather is a natural dye. Some color transfer may occur if the collar becomes saturated with water. Ensure the collar is dry before use to minimize this risk.

What is the best way to ensure a proper fit?

Measure your dog's neck and ensure it is between 30cm and 34cm. The collar should be snug enough that two fingers can fit between the collar and your dog's neck.

Is the antique gold buckle durable?

The collar is fitted with a strong die-cast buckle and D-ring in an antique gold finish, designed for durability and reliable fastening.

Can this collar be used for swimming?

It is not recommended to saturate the leather collar with water, such as during swimming. While it has water-resistant treatment, prolonged saturation can affect the leather and its dye. Allow it to air dry naturally if it gets wet.

What material is the collar made from?

The collar is crafted from high-quality top-grain bridle leather.

Troubleshooting

Collar appears too stiff

Leather softens with use. Continue to wear the collar regularly; it will become more supple over time. You can also condition it with a suitable leather conditioner (test on an inconspicuous area first).

Color transfer on dog's fur

This can occur if the leather becomes saturated and the natural dye transfers. Ensure the collar is dry before putting it on your dog. If it persists, consider using a leather protector spray specifically designed for pet collars, or replace with a synthetic material if this is a significant concern.

Buckle or D-ring feels loose

Inspect the fittings for any signs of damage. Ensure the buckle is properly secured through the leather. If the fittings are damaged, discontinue use and contact the retailer for a replacement.

Collar is the wrong size

This collar is designed for neck sizes 30-34 cm. If your dog's neck falls outside this range, you will need to find a collar that is a better fit for their measurements. Check for other Ancol Timberwolf sizes or alternative models.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Made from strong yet supple top-grain bridle leather that improves with age.
  • Wider strap design offers better protection for the dog's windpipe.
  • Treated to resist water, dirt, and oil stains for longevity.
  • Specifically designed for the neck shape of sighthound breeds.
  • Secure antique gold buckle and D-ring provide reliable fastening.

Cons

  • Leather is a natural, porous material and can be affected by heavy saturation.
  • Requires air drying if it becomes saturated, rather than heat drying.
  • May transfer some dye if it becomes very wet.
  • Limited size range (30-34 cm) means it may not fit all sighthounds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Measure your dog's neck: Ensure the neck circumference falls within the 30-34 cm range.
  2. Fasten the collar: Adjust the buckle to the appropriate hole for a snug but comfortable fit. You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck.
  3. Attach lead: Secure your dog's lead to the D-ring.

Compatibility:

  • This collar is specifically designed for sighthound breeds such as Whippets, Greyhounds, Lurchers, Salukis, and similar breeds with a distinctive neck shape.
  • Ensure your dog's neck size is between 30cm and 34cm.

Care:

  • General Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or detergents.
  • Water Exposure: Leather is a natural product. If the collar becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators or sunlight). Do not saturate the collar with water.
  • Drying: If the collar becomes saturated, allow it to dry completely before the next use. This ensures its longevity and prevents potential dye transfer if the leather is still wet.
