Durability
The leather collar will last a long time and the dogs can not break it easily.
Buckles
A leather collar mostly has a belt buckle with holes. Puppies always keep growing, therefore leather collars are more suitable for them because they can be adjusted as the dog’s hair grows.
Leather collar types include
- Flat leather collars
- Rolled leather collars.
Flat collar
The flat leather collar, also known as the buckle collar, is one of the most common types of the leather collar. They are mostly suitable for short-haired dogs because a rolled leather collar may cause breakage of fur around the neck of your long-haired dog. These collars help to distribute the pressure evenly if you are using the wide, flat leather collars.
Rolled collars
These types of collars are narrower, thinner, and lighter than flat leather collars. The round shape creates a cord or rope-like shape that provides more strength. Soft rolled leather avoids matting and doesn’t leave a flat spot on the coat of the dog. Roller collars are suitable for dogs who have sensitive skin, or whose skin has rolls and wrinkles.
- We do not recommend this collar if your dog is a puller because it puts pressure on the windpipe of the dog. Be sure that the leather on the collar is genuine, not synthetic. Remember, synthetic leather is cheap and doesn’t have the durability of real leather.
