At that size a plain flat strap makes more sense than a padded one: there is less collar to start with, and a bulky padded band on a terrier's neck ends up looking and feeling like a horse collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leather is tan and untreated enough to darken as it is worn. Shires have taken the Flat Leather Dog Collar off their current published Digby \u0026amp; Fox listing, so the neck range here is from their general collar size guide and no further specification is given — we have not filled the gaps with figures from anywhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat leather strap with a buckle, in the smallest of the two sizes stocked.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlim enough not to swamp a small dog's neck the way a padded band can.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTan leather that darkens with wear rather than looking scuffed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDries quickly, as there is no padding or lining to hold damp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs with a 26–34cm neck, on Shires' standard collar guide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerriers, whippets, small spaniels, miniature poodles and similar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePuppies of larger breeds that will grow out of it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEveryday wear with a tag, and lead walking on a flat lead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot for a dog that pulls hard on a narrow strap — a harness spreads the load better, and the Digby \u0026amp; Fox Rolled Leather Dog Collar is kinder on a long coat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure the neck with a soft tape where the collar will actually sit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo the buckle up so two fingers slide flat underneath, and no more.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the fit weekly on a growing puppy — a 26cm neck does not stay 26cm for long.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe clean with a damp cloth and let it dry naturally.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWork in a little leather balsam now and again to keep it supple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather collar, tan, size XS.
