Size Info Page

The Hound Haberdashery® offers a range of adjustable sizes to accommodate a variety of breeds. While we do allow exchanges for unworn collars, we strongly encourage customers to measure their dog(s) using the instructions available under the "How to Measure" tab in any of the collar listings. Please contact us with any questions.  We will do our best to reply as quickly as possible.  

 Available Sizes:

    • Extra Small (9"-11.5", only available in 1" width without side release buckles)
    • Small (11"-14", available in all widths)
    • Medium (14"-18.5", available in all widths)
    • Large (18"-22", available in all widths)
    • Extra Large (21"-26", only available in 1.5" and 2" widths)
    • XX Large (23"-28", only available in 1.5" and 2" widths)
    • Custom sizes for dogs in between pre-set sizes.


A Word about Width - Please consider the length of your dog's neck when placing an order.  Most dogs cannot wear the 2" width comfortably, even in the larger breeds.  The 2" collars are intended for large dogs with very long necks (Greyhounds, Borzois, Great Danes, etc).  Some whippets can wear them, though most do better in the 1.5" width. Additionally, many smaller dogs cannot wear widths over 1".  If you are at all unsure about width, we recommend visualizing what your dog will look like by cutting paper strips to your desired width and taping them around your dog's neck.  If the dog looks or seems uncomfortable, you should opt for a smaller width.
