Sighthound Collars

Collar size 36 – 46cm, 20mm webbing

Blackdog Wear designed these collars for use with greyhounds and breeds with heads smaller than the neck, to prevent the collar from easily slipping off them. At Diverse Dogs we recommend these collars to clients for any breed  to enable them to continue to use a flat collar in training, whilst reducing pressure on the trachea if the dog pulls. The  extra thick padding on the neck provides this added comfort for the dog. The collar also has a martingale design, which  makes it useful for some training applications.

From Blackdog Wear:

Blackdog Wear designed and manufactures the Official Collar for most of the Australian Greyhound Adoption Programs and we’ve used this experience to produce our Sighthound Collar (for Greyhounds, Afghans, Saluki, Borzoi, etc)

Because the head size of most of these breeds is smaller than their neck, keeping a collar securely fitted can pose problems, this design will tighten if a dog tries to slip its collar, while the extra thick webbing and tapered throat pad ensures that your dog’s neck and soft hair are protected and supported.

​While this collar is designed specifically for Sighthounds, it may also be used on many soft haired breeds such as Vizslas, GSP’s, or Dobermanns, as long as the collar is large enough to be fitted over the dog’s head.  An alternative for these dogs would be our Comfy Turtle Neck or Tuffy Collars – wide neck pad, but clips on to fit around the neck on dogs with a larger head.
