Ancol Heritage Leather Dog Collar Oxblood 26-31cm Size 2

Ancol Heritage Leather Collar – Oxblood, Size 2

The Heritage Leather Collar is Ancol's classic flat buckle collar, made by their own workforce in the UK from premium European bridle leather, and size 2 suits small dogs. Oxblood is a deep red-brown, one of the richer leather tones in the range.

This oxblood collar is size 2, for necks of 26 to 31cm (XS on Ancol's size chart), which suits many Pomeranians, miniature dachshunds and other small breeds. Measure around your dog's neck with a soft tape before you order, as breed is only a rough guide.

Performance & Benefits

• Premium European bridle leather for strength and a long working life.
• Made in the UK by Ancol's own skilled workforce.
• Contrast stitching for a smart, traditional finish.
• Buckle fastening that stays on the hole you set.
• The leather develops character as it ages.
• Matches the Heritage Leather Lead, which we stock in tan, black and oxblood.
• Packed in recycled and recyclable packaging.

Suitable For

• Necks measuring 26 to 31cm.
• Many Pomeranians, miniature dachshunds and other small breeds on everyday walks.
• Owners who want a plain, traditional leather collar at a sensible price.
• Nearby sizes in oxblood: we also stock size 1 (20–26cm), and the range runs from size 1 (20–26cm) to size 8 (55–63cm).
• Not the best choice for a dog that swims or wades on most walks. Repeated soaking is hard on leather and can make the dye run, so a nylon collar copes better with water.

How to Use

• Measure around the middle of your dog's neck with a soft tape before choosing a size.
• Fasten the buckle so two fingers slide comfortably between the collar and the neck, but the collar cannot slip over the ears.
• Re-check the fit on a growing puppy, and after any change in weight or coat.
• Add an ID tag. In the UK, a dog in a public place must wear a collar with the owner's name and address on it or on an attached tag.

Care & Caution

• Leather is a natural, porous material, so slight differences in colour and finish are normal.
• Avoid soaking it. The natural dye can transfer when the leather is wet, which shows on a pale coat.
• If it does get wet, let it air dry naturally, away from radiators, hairdryers and other direct heat.
• Treat with a suitable leather conditioner once a year, and store somewhere dry when not in use.
• Check the stitching and buckle holes from time to time, and replace it if it is worn or damaged.
