Leather Whippet Collar
From £35.00
Made just for Whippets, this leather Whippet collar is soft, supportive, and tailored to fit their long necks. Handmade from Italian calf leather in your choice of 28 colours, it’s designed for both comfort and style.
The fishtail shape is 1.75″ at its widest point, tapering to a slim ¾” strap that fastens with a secure stainless steel buckle. This wider front offers gentle support while helping to prevent the collar from slipping over the head — ideal for Whippets and other medium sighthounds.
The Whippet collar is lined with the same buttery-soft Italian leather, finished with smooth, rounded edges. You can also choose to add discreet padding beneath the lining for an extra layer of comfort. Each collar is made to order in our Northumberland workshop and finished with rust-proof stainless steel hardware.

FAQs
What type of collar is best for a Whippet?
Whippets have slim necks and heads that are narrower than their necks, which makes it easy for a normal flat collar to slip off. A Whippet collar has a wider section at the front, often called a fishtail shape, which spreads pressure evenly and keeps your dog safe without discomfort. The tapered ends sit neatly behind the ears so the collar stays in place. You can learn more in our guide to Whippet collars.
What size collar is best for a Whippet?
Most adult Whippets need a collar that measures between 10 and 14 inches, but the best way to be sure is to measure your dog’s neck. Use a soft tape measure just behind the ears and under the chin, where the collar will sit. Choose the size range where your dog’s neck measurement is closest to the smallest hole, as this allows room for adjustment. Our whippet collar size guide has full instructions.
Is this collar padded?
Padding is optional. You can choose to add a hidden layer of soft padding beneath the Italian leather lining for extra comfort, which some Whippet owners prefer if their dog has a very fine coat. Whether padded or not, the leather softens naturally as it’s worn, so both versions are comfortable for daily use.
How do I clean a leather Whippet collar?
Cleaning is simple. For everyday dirt, wipe the collar gently with a damp cloth or sponge. For stubborn marks, add a tiny drop of mild washing-up liquid, then wipe away any soap with clean water. Always let the collar dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. For full advice, see our guide to cleaning leather dog collars.

How to measure for a Whippet collar
To measure your Whippet's neck for a leather collar, simply follow these steps:
- Wrap a soft tape measure so that it is fairly snug, just behind the ears and under the chin at the top of the neck as shown in the image and make a note of the measurement.
-
Choose the collar where the smallest number in the size range is as close to the neck measurement as possible.
- For example, the measurement is 10", so choose the 9" - 11".

Customer Reviews
The collars are well made and high quality that is clear to see. They do however seem stiff and hard on the first wearing - especially on a whippets gentle neck and the whippets don’t like them so far - house collars however worked very well. Any tips to soften the whippet collars would be appreciated
my whippet regularly loses his collars but this one has a really well designed buckle which stays done up even through rolling, hunting etc. it is thick leather but soft (i chose padded) on his neck. very impressed !
Great shape , correct fit and excellent quality
We had the luxury leather collar for our boy 8 years ago and it's still going strong! So when we got our new boy recently we bought this collar again! It was a no brainer really, the first collar still looks like new, it's such great quality. And when I contacted them about sizing they were extremely helpful in changing it slightly for me when making the collar.
I ordered two collars for my whippets and got a great half price deal in the sale section. It's definitely worth having a look for a bargain. They're such good quality and made to last. I've also ordered matching leads. If you're a dog owner who values quality and durability, I'd definitely recommend this store.
