On sizing
This page covers the 30-34cm size in both colours; Ancol do not publish a width measurement for the collar band itself, so if your whippet's neck sits at the edge of that range, it's worth checking against a collar you already own before ordering.
Why we chose it
It's a genuine hound-collar cut rather than a standard collar sold in a whippet size, which is the distinction that actually matters for a breed built the way whippets are. UK-made bridle leather also tends to outlast the coated leather used on cheaper collars.
— Matt, founder
Size guide & how to measure
Collars are sized by the neck girth — the measurement around the base of the neck where the collar will sit.
How to measure
- Wrap a soft tape around the base of the neck.
- Add room for two fingers between the tape and the neck.
- Use that measurement to pick a size whose range it falls within.
| Size | Typical neck girth | Rough guide |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 20–28 cm | Toy breeds, kittens |
| S | 26–36 cm | Small dogs |
| M | 34–48 cm | Medium dogs |
| L | 46–60 cm | Large dogs |
| XL | 58–72 cm | Giant breeds |
Ranges are approximate and vary by style. Always check this product’s Specifications for its exact measurements.

Full description
A whippet's narrow head and thin neck are exactly why the hound collar shape exists - a standard collar sized to stay on a whippet without slipping is usually too wide for the rest of the dog to wear comfortably, which is why this style is cut differently rather than just made smaller.
Ancol make this one from genuine European bridle leather, crafted by their own UK workforce rather than being an imported stock item. Bridle leather is chosen for durability under everyday wear, and Ancol describe it as designed to age well over time rather than looking its best only when new.

On sizing. This page covers the 30-34cm size in both colours; Ancol do not publish a width measurement for the collar band itself, so if your whippet's neck sits at the edge of that range, it's worth checking against a collar you already own before ordering.
Who it's for: whippet, lurcher and other narrow-headed sighthound owners who need the hound collar shape specifically, in either black or tan leather.

Common questions
What is the collar made from?
Genuine European bridle leather, made up by Ancol's UK workforce.
What colours does this cover?
This page covers Black and Tan, both in the 30-34cm size.
Why is it shaped differently to a normal dog collar?
It's a hound collar - a shape cut for narrow-headed sighthounds like whippets, whose necks are often too slim for a standard collar sized to their head.
Will the leather look worn after a while?
Ancol describe it as designed to age well over time, rather than being at its best only when new.
