The Dingley Wool & BioThane® Collar | Hunter Green | Sheep Shed Hybrid

Wool weave: Dingley, the ecru wool, hand-woven collar body. It is undyed. The colour is the colour the sheep grew. British wool, graded and spun in Yorkshire, and laid into rope in Britain.

BioThane® strap: Hunter green 19mm BioThane® BETA, fully waterproof and odour-resistant.

Collar keeper: Burnt orange 9mm BioThane®, a contrast accent that echoes the paired hybrid lead.

Hardware: Solid brass roller buckle and D-ring. Twelve-month hardware guarantee.

Weave and sizes: 3-row or 4-row weave, eight sizes from XXS to XXXL. The 3-row weave is 34mm wide and the 4-row sighthound weave is 43mm, both over the 19mm BioThane® strap.

How to measure: Run a soft tape around the middle of your dog's neck, where the collar sits, snug but not tight. Two fingers should sit comfortably under the finished collar. Do not add anything to your measurement: each size is a range and it genuinely fits that whole range. Pick the range your measurement sits inside, and if you land between two, take the larger one.

3-row vs 4-row: 3-row is standard width, suitable for all breeds. 4-row is wider, distributing pressure more evenly across the neck. Ideal for sighthounds (whippets, lurchers, greyhounds) or any dog where a broader profile is preferred, or simply as a personal choice.

Available sizes: 9 to 12 inches, 11 to 14 inches, 14 to 17 inches, 17 to 20 inches, 20 to 23 inches, 23 to 26 inches.

Not sure? Send me the measurement before you order and I will check it against this collar first.

Changing your mind: Hunter green is a fixed colourway, and the weave and size are picked from options I already build, so ordering commits you to nothing unusual. That means 30 days from delivery to change your mind rather than the 14 the law requires. If the size turns out wrong, message me. Size exchanges and amendments are available. Full detail on my returns page.

Who pays the postage on an exchange: If I made the mistake, the postage both ways is mine. If the measurement turned out not to suit your dog, the postage each way is yours.

Faulty or damaged: If anything arrives faulty, damaged or not as described, I will repair, replace or refund it and cover the postage.

Wool weave: The wool is untreated, which is what gives it the handle. It also means it will felt if it gets wet and worked, so do not wash it. Let mud dry completely and brush it out with a soft brush.

BioThane® strap and keeper: Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Rinse under running water after heavy mud. Fully waterproof and odour-resistant, no conditioning needed.

Hardware: Solid brass, wipe clean. Will develop a natural patina over time. Covered by Green Dog's twelve-month hardware guarantee.

Not machine washable: The BioThane® is wipe-clean and the brass is fine, but the wool is untreated and will felt if it gets wet and worked. So the collar as a whole is not a washable one: wipe the BioThane®, and let mud dry on the wool and brush it out.

Wool is the one material here that genuinely gets better. Customers who have had these pieces for years tell me they have improved with use, not worn out.

Why put wool and BioThane® on the same collar? They do different jobs. The wool is the character and the texture, hand-woven from undyed British wool. The BioThane® strap is the part that takes the mud, the river and the wet grass and wipes clean afterwards.

Is the whole collar waterproof? The strap and the keeper are. The wool panel is not. It is untreated British wool. It handles wet weather perfectly well and dries out on its own, but it must not be washed: let mud dry on it and brush it out.

Should I choose 3-row or 4-row? 3-row is the standard width and suits any breed. 4-row is wider and spreads pressure across more of the neck, which is why sighthound owners tend to pick it. Plenty of people choose it simply because they prefer the look.

Is there a matching lead? Yes. The Dingley Hybrid Lead in Midnight Blue carries the same hunter green BioThane® and the same Dingley wool whipping. Put the collar and the lead in the same basket and 10% comes off the lead automatically, with no code. It does not combine with a discount code.

How long will it take to arrive? Two to six working days is the making window, and it ends when the collar is dispatched. UK tracked post is one to two working days after that, so door to door is usually three to eight working days. UK tracked delivery is free over £55.
