Shaped for the narrower neck and wider head of sighthounds, the anatomy that makes standard collars slip off. Every collar in this collection is designed around the specific proportions of whippets, lurchers, greyhounds, Italian greyhounds and dachshunds.

The wider centre profile sits between the narrowest head point and the widest neck point, so it cannot escape backwards. Available in waterproof BioThane®, premium leather, and British wool, all handmade at the Oxford studio to your sighthound's exact measurements.

Frequently asked questions

Why do sighthounds need a specific collar?

Sighthound anatomy is unusual, the head is narrower than the neck, so standard collars slip off backwards. A sighthound collar is wider at the centre so it sits between the narrowest head point and the widest neck point, locked in by the shape rather than only by tension.

Which breeds are sighthounds?

Whippets, lurchers, greyhounds, Italian greyhounds, salukis, borzoi, deerhounds, podencos and other long-headed running breeds. Dachshunds also benefit from sighthound-shaped collars because their head proportions are similar in profile.

How wide is a Green Dog sighthound collar?

38mm at the centre for the BioThane Cotswold Rambler and the wool sighthound variants. The width tapers towards the buckle so the collar still fastens comfortably. The Cotswold Heritage leather sighthound collar uses a similar tapered profile in vegetable-tanned leather.

Can a sighthound collar fit a non-sighthound?

Yes, but it is not the most efficient choice. If your dog is not narrow-headed, a standard collar will fit better and look more in proportion. Sighthound collars are made for the breeds that need them.

Where are Green Dog sighthound collars made?

Handmade in my Oxford studio. Every collar is built to your dog's exact measurements, with the option to add 2cm of growth space for puppies still filling out.

Every piece tells you something about who made it.

Green Dog is not a brand. It is a studio. One person, one workbench, one standard. Every collar and lead is made by hand in Oxford — tested, measured, finished. You are not buying from a supply chain. You are buying directly from the person who made it.
