Leather Sighthound Collars for Italian Greyhounds, Whippets, Greyhounds and Lurchers
Our sighthound collars are designed for dogs with longer necks and narrower heads, like Whippets, Greyhounds, Lurchers and Italian Greyhounds. Each collar is shaped to sit comfortably and stay in place, with a tapered design that fits neatly behind the ears. Whether you’re after a classic leather style or a martingale collar for extra security, you’ll find a range of sizes and styles made just for sighthound breeds.
Which Sighthound Collar Is Right for Your Dog?
We’ve grouped our collars by breed and collar type to help you find the best fit for your sighthound:
- Italian Greyhound Collars – Narrow and lightweight with a tapered design. These collars are 1.5″ at their widest point and taper to a ½” buckle — perfect for slim Iggy necks.
- Whippet Collars – Designed to suit medium-sized sighthounds. These collars measure 1.75″ at the widest part, tapering down to a ¾” buckle to fit comfortably around slender necks.
- Greyhound & Lurcher Collars – Made for larger sighthound breeds with stronger necks. These collars are 2″ wide at their broadest point and taper to a 1″ buckle.
- Martingale Collars – Ideal for sighthounds prone to backing out of collars. The tightening loop offers gentle control without choking, making it a useful option for nervous or escape-prone dogs.
Each collar is handmade using Italian leather, with options for padding or Swarovski crystals depending on the design.

Sighthound Collars Shaped Specifically for Your Breed
Sighthounds such as Whippets, Greyhounds, Lurchers, and Italian Greyhounds have distinctively shaped necks and narrow heads, which can make standard collars unsuitable. Our leather collars are specially designed with these breeds in mind, using a carefully tapered "fishtail" shape and appropriate widths for a secure and comfortable fit.
Tailored Sizes for Each Type of Sighthound
We offer three main sizing styles based on breed:
-
Italian Greyhound collars: 1.5" at the widest point, tapering to a ½" buckle.
-
Whippet collars: 1.75" at the widest point, tapering to a ¾" buckle.
-
Greyhound & Lurcher collars: 2" at the widest point, tapering to a 1" buckle.
Each collar style is handmade from Italian leather, with optional padding or Swarovski crystal detailing available.
Martingale Collars for Added Control
Martingale collars gently tighten if your dog pulls or tries to slip out, making them a helpful choice for sighthounds who sometimes need extra reassurance on walks. They provide gentle control without discomfort or choking, offering peace of mind when you're out and about.

Sighthound Collar FAQs
Q: Why do sighthounds need special collars?
Sighthounds have narrow heads and long necks, meaning regular collars often don’t fit properly. A tapered sighthound collar prevents slipping and ensures comfort on walks.
Q: Can Martingale collars be used daily?
Yes, many owners use martingale collars for everyday walks. They tighten gently if your dog pulls, providing extra control without choking or discomfort.
Q: How do I measure my dog for a sighthound collar?
For sighthound collars, measure around the narrowest part of your dog’s neck, usually just behind the ears. This helps ensure a snug fit that won’t slide off, which is especially important for breeds with smaller heads compared to their necks. Measuring too low can result in a collar that’s too loose.
Q: What’s the difference between a Whippet collar and a Greyhound collar?
Mainly the width. Whippet collars are slightly narrower (1.75"), while Greyhound and Lurcher collars are wider (2") to support their larger, stronger necks.
Q: Are these collars suitable for puppies?
We offer three different puppy-sized collars designed specifically for sighthound breeds. They’re slightly narrower than standard sizes and come with soft padding to keep growing necks comfortable while still offering a secure fit.
Q: What’s the best collar for an Italian Greyhound?
Italian Greyhounds have very slim necks and small heads, so they need a lightweight collar with a tapered shape. Our Italian Greyhound collars are 1.5" wide at the front and taper to a ½" buckle for a secure, comfortable fit.
Yes — our Greyhound & Lurcher collars are designed to fit broader, muscular necks while still tapering for comfort. They’re 2" at the widest point, making them a great match for most Lurchers.
Q: Can I use a martingale collar for a Whippet?
Definitely. Whippets can be prone to slipping out of standard collars, and a leather martingale offers gentle control and a better fit without putting pressure on the neck.
Q: Do you make collars for Salukis or Galgos?
Yes — our Greyhound & Lurcher collars often suit Salukis and Galgos well. If you’re not sure which size to choose, we’re happy to advise based on your dog’s measurements.
