Treat your Greyhound or lurcher to a luxury leather collar from Petiquette today. Choose from wide fishtail collars, martingales, house collars all in 28 colours of Italian leather and optional Swarovski crystals.
Every collar in our Greyhound and Lurcher range is shaped to suit long, narrow necks — with a wide 2 inch front that offers comfort and support (our puppy version is slightly slimmer). Handmade in our Northumberland workshop, each collar uses soft Italian leather, rot-proof stitching, and stainless steel fittings built to last. With over two dozen leather colours and the option to add Swarovski crystals, you can create something as unique as your dog. Designed for Greyhounds, Lurchers, Salukis, Borzois, Wolfhounds, Deerhounds, Afghans, Sloughis, and Galgos.
Standard collars don’t suit sighthounds. Their necks are longer and often wider than their heads, which means narrow collars can slip off or press too tightly on the throat. A wider shape spreads pressure more evenly, offering a more secure and comfortable fit. Learn more in our guide: Why Are Greyhound Collars So Wide?

For daily walks, Greyhound and Lurcher owners often choose wide leather collars. The broad front supports the neck, while the tapered buckle makes them comfortable to wear. Some owners prefer a martingale style, which gently tightens if the dog pulls or tries to back out, but most rely on fishtail walking collars for both comfort and security. Many also use a second, lighter collar as a house collar to hold ID tags indoors, while keeping the supportive collar for walks.
To choose the right size, measure the narrowest part of your dog’s head — just behind the ears and under the chin. This prevents the collar from slipping off. Lurchers vary more in build than Greyhounds, so measuring carefully is especially important. For step-by-step advice, see our guide: How to Measure Your Greyhound or Lurcher for a Leather Collar.
Our Greyhound and Lurcher puppy collars are lighter and narrower than adult designs, making them comfortable for young dogs wearing a collar for the first time. They still offer the same supportive shape but are easier for puppies to get used to as they grow.
Leather has always been the traditional choice for Greyhound and Lurcher collars because it’s a natural material with lasting beauty. At Petiquette, we give that tradition a modern twist with dozens of colour options in soft Italian calf leather, with Swarovski crystals available if you’d like extra sparkle. A leather collar feels comfortable from the first wear and softens further as the natural oils from the coat work into the leather. Each collar is handmade to order and finished with stainless steel fittings and rot-proof stitching for daily use.
Some owners prefer harnesses for strong pullers or newly adopted rescue dogs. However, wide leather collars remain the traditional choice for Greyhounds and Lurchers, offering comfort and security without the bulk of a harness. Many owners use a harness alongside a collar, so their dog always carries identification tags.

Greyhounds and Lurchers don’t usually wear their walking collars indoors. Most owners keep a lightweight house collar on during the day to hold ID tags, then switch to a wide collar when heading out. This way the dog always carries identification, but only wears the supportive walking collar when it’s needed.
Why do Greyhounds sometimes wear two collars?It’s common for Greyhounds and Lurchers to wear a house collar alongside a walking collar. The house collar carries identification tags, while the walking collar gives the support needed on the lead. Using both means your dog always has ID, but the supportive collar is only worn on walks.
What makes a martingale collar suitable for Greyhounds and Lurchers?Martingale collars tighten gently if a sighthound tries to back out, which helps prevent escapes. Unlike choke chains, they stop tightening once snug, so they’re safer for breeds with long, narrow heads. They’re sometimes chosen for rescues or nervous dogs, though many owners prefer wide leather collars for everyday use.
Are leather collars better for Greyhounds than fabric?Leather is often preferred for Greyhounds and Lurchers because it softens with use and stays comfortable against short coats. It also lasts longer than many fabric options, which can wear out more quickly on strong, active dogs. Leather collars have been the traditional choice for sighthounds for generations, combining comfort with durability.
How do I measure my Greyhound or Lurcher for the right collar?Measure around the narrowest part of the head, just behind the ears and under the chin. This ensures the collar can’t slip over the head. For step-by-step help, see our guide: How to Measure Your Greyhound or Lurcher for a Leather Collar.
What size collar does a Lurcher need compared to a Greyhound?Greyhounds are fairly standard in size, but Lurchers vary widely depending on their cross. Some need narrower collars, while others require the same sizes as Deerhounds or Wolfhounds. Always measure rather than relying on breed averages, and if in doubt, ask us for sizing advice before ordering.
