whippet type collar

[whip x grey 276]

what guys use to get years ago was,,leather whippet collars made then ,,,personlised,,,,i,e there dogs name ingraved or ingraving off a whippet chasing rabbit ect ect

its the 1st one i have made for a whippet so i gues you learn by ya misstakes cheers for the tip i'll have a look for some stamps for doing things like that probably would look better with a dog chasing

 

i like the thickness off the leather yer using to make ur collars,,,cos they look solid and a life time thing,,rather than the thin crap leather ya get out a pet store,,,,,,,i once won a crystal tanker,,,,that had ingraved a lurcher running a hare ,,,i thought then ,,,that would look smart on a leather collar

 

my old man got one made in early ,s ,,,with his dogs racing name,,,it had tint off red,,,it was done in such away it was like the leather was natural red ,,and racing name was in gold colour with flowery pattern round edges,,,he paid back then a fortune for it lol,,,but it was smart

 

i think if ya can produce the lurcher running hare(deer-fox-ect) on collar ,,sort off thing,,ect and diffrent desighns and reasonble priced,,,,i think ull be on to winner :thumbs:

ill have to go to parents find old photos

 

but here,s some give ya an idea

 

lettered,,one

 

lurcher chasing hare,,,i think this design can be alittle better

 

 

 

but i dont know what stamps are ,,,as i dont know the leather trade lol,,,but can ya not get yer own stamps made and say like darcys new book , lurcher chasing the deer ,,get that stamp made ,,which makes the collar unique to hunting life

 

the pics above is the classic design collar and thats what most folk go for,,,,but u can add yer own twist to it,,,and if ya do them cheap enough,,,iam sure plls on here would rather part with there money to you than shops ect ect

plus the leather off yer collars look alot thicker than those pic,s i put up,,

[the big chief 3,099]

a stamp as it says you stamp a pattern in i'll buy an engraver to morow the ptern i think you putt more dye in to make it darker and less coats on the rest to get that efect or ther is a trick i got tort to shade it buy using fine sand paper butt that was on knife sheaths butt i gues it would work for that i no they make stamps with dogs and hares its just finding who sells them butt i dont think they are as big as the pick on that collar if you pm me the pick of ya paps old collar that would be grate

something simple and basic well made at a good price.

 

Thought you said it was shite?

[Twitch 13]

good effort! i was gonna make one for my pup but folded n visited the pet shop, i agree the studs would look better on a bull x tho atb

[Country Joe 1,411]

I suppose its all down to what you like, I have no interest in patterns, or studs, or double buckles, i dont see the need,

The ones I have liked are well made with top quality leather and are lined with Lamb skin, or soft deer skin.

[the big chief 3,099]

not my thing eather with the studs butt if people wont it they get it all mine have just leather collars nothing else nothing fancey just good looking collars

[Country Joe 1,411]

Gafer,

google the site Hide and Collars, and you will see some stoating Whippet collars, no big brass studs, just quality leather and lined with Lamb or deer skin, i think whippet x greyhound is right.

Whippets are elegant dogs and a good well made plain collar compliments them.

cheers buddy

cant find pic off my old mans dog pic only,,,but ill find it as it was a smart collar ,,simple but very nice ,,,the collar she had at 10month,,,next time at parents ill ask,,,,as his brindle dog in question misty i fancy stealing few pic off her past ,,,iam sure theres afew off her in ,s with her catch for the day,,,i rember pic off her with 27 rabbits on door step,,,and iam sure she use to get invited out with local lurcher guys on the hares,,,,,good read about her ,,,how old man use to hitch lifts to dundee to the reginals champs 20miles away ,,,and use to train her to lie in feild ,,,get a lift and shout her over as no one pick up hitchers with dog lol win her reginal title and hunt on way home lol

 

the pic is her,,,those collars never lasted,,couple month later he bought a decent one lasted her 16 years,,,thats why i mentioned the thickness off leather ,,as its similar to the thickness she had (,,,p,s doglying down was a bully whippet,,,and it could run,,before anyone says that a fat whippet lol lol
