Why Fishtail Design for Sighthounds?
Sighthound breeds (Greyhounds, Whippets, Italian Greyhounds, Salukis, Borzois, Lurchers) have unique physical characteristics:
- Thin, delicate necks with minimal fat padding
- Heads that are only slightly wider than their necks
- Tendency to slip out of regular collars
- Sensitive skin that can be easily irritated
The fishtail (or tapered) design addresses these needs by providing a wider surface area at the center of the neck where pressure is applied during walks, while remaining narrow at the buckle for easy fastening. This distributes the load evenly and prevents injury to the throat and trachea.

- Durable: Genuine leather is hard-wearing and long-lasting
