How to check your size. We think the easiest way is to take your dog's most comfortable collar and measure it a) from the centre of buckle to the very tip b) from the centre of the buckle to your dogs favourite hole. Example Holly's collar = 20ins Her favourite hole = 16ins Therefore Holly's collar Size = Size 5 Or you can use a flexible tape measure. Place two fingers on your dog s neck where the collar would normally sit. Then measure round both the neck and your two fingers. This will give you a measurement for a comfortable fit. All measurements are subject to slight variations as all collars are handmade Your dog's neck measures... 6-8ins 15-20.5cms 8-10ins 20.5-25.5cms 9-12 ins 23-30.5cm 11-13ins 28-33cm 12-14ins 30.5-35.5 cm 13-15ins 33-38 cm 16-18ins 40.5-46cm Size & total collar length Size 1/2 10"/25.5cm 6.5"/16.5cm 8.5"/21.5cm Size 1 12"/30.5cm 8.5"/21.5cm 10.5"/26.5cm Size 2 14"/35.5cm 10.5"/26.5cm 12.5"/32cm Size 3 16"/40.5cm 11.5"/29.5cm 14.5"/37cm Size 4 18"/45.5cm 13"/33cm 16"/41cm Size 5 20"/51cm 15"/38cm 18"/45.5cm Size 6 22"/56cm 17"/43cm 20"/50.5cm Typical breeds this size may fit (as guide only) "Tea-cup" Chihuahua, Yorkie, Pom etc, Mini Poodle Chihuahua, Yorkie, Papillion, Pom, Maltese Shih Tzu, Bichon Frize, Jack Russell, Toy Poodle, Mini Dachs Jack Russell, Poodle, Cavalier KC, Welsh Corgi, Westie, Border Terrier Pug, Cocker Spaniel, Cairn Terrier, Beagle, Border Collie, Scottie, Vizla Collie, Standard Poodle, Pug, Doberman, Dalmatian, Staffie, Weimeraner Ridgeback, Labrador, Setters, Airedale, Dalmatian, Shar Pei, English Bulldog 17-19ins 43-48cm Size 7 24"/61cm 18.5"/47cm German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Rottweiler, Chow,

Almost all Holly&Lil designs are available as 'Slims' or as our signature 'Wides' which have the slim element under the chin (for the dog's comfort) and the wide part on the back of the neck with a D-ring fitting for the lead. Holly and Lily love their Wide collars as they show through their long fur and don't cause matting or breakage of the guard hairs. The 'Standard Wide' shown here is available in Size 3 and up. Our special adaptations of the 'Wide' for tiny/small dogs and traditional Hound Collars are also shown in this section.
