Bridle leather is tanned for harness work, which is why a Timberwolf collar takes daily use for years while a fashion-leather collar peels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSable is the warm mid-brown of the four Timberwolf colours, and it darkens and softens as it is worn rather than cracking. This is size 5, cut for necks of 39 to 48cm, which covers most springers, working cockers, smaller labradors and mid-size crossbreeds. Measure round the neck with a tape before ordering — bodyweight is a poor guide to neck size and sizes 5 and 6 overlap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop-grain bridle leather, the grade used for tack rather than fashion goods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the UK by Ancol's own workforce.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSewn down both sides with bonded thread, so the stress falls on stitching rather than glue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuckle fastening, which holds its setting instead of creeping the way a plastic clip can.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftens and darkens with wear, and takes a conditioning rather than needing replacing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of eight sizes, so the fit can be right rather than nearly right.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNecks measuring 39 to 48cm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid-size breeds, and the overlap point between a size 4 and a size 6 dog.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEveryday walking use, and dogs that wear a collar all day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners who would rather buy one collar and look after it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf the tape reads under 39cm, size 3 (28–36cm) is the one; over 48cm, size 6 (45–54cm).
