A collar can be made shorter without being made smaller. If the width, the buckle and the ring are carried straight over from the standard size, a nine-inch neck ends up wearing full-size fittings, and a good part of what the dog is carrying is hardware.

These are scaled rather than shortened. The Greenwich Yarn Mini is built on 6mm rope with a solid brass Swedish sailing shackle and a small brass O-ring chosen to suit that rope. The Dingley and Brampton small breed collars use a two-row fishtail weave in 2mm British wool on a slim leather strap, in four sizes from 8 to 13 inches.

Dachshunds sit slightly apart from the rest. In profile the head and neck are closer to a sighthound's proportions than a terrier's, which is why the Cotswold Rambler is tagged for them and appears here as well as on the sighthound page. If your dog falls between the two, measure the neck and the widest part of the head and send both over before ordering.

Each collar is made to the measurement you give me rather than to a size band, which counts for more at this end of the range: an inch of slack is a twentieth of a large dog's neck and a ninth of a small one's.

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.
