A DOG SHOW IS A GREAT SOCIAL EVENT. DISCOVER NEW PLACES AND MEET NEW FRIENDS

Dog Shows have a long tradition. Since 1935, when Joe Dunn established the Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club, breeders have exhibited their Staffies in traditional collars. Why? Because of their characteristic feature – the pretzel or knot. For this reason, Staffie collars differ from the collars of other breeds.

The market currently offers several types of collars – made of round or cut leather, entire collars in leather, or chain versions. It depends which one suits your four-legged friend the best, or what the occasion is for your dog to wear the collar.

WHAT TYPE OF COLLAR SHOULD BE CHOSEN? THINNER FOR A SHOW, STRONGER FOR THE COUNTRYSIDE

For a Show, preferably choose a thinner collar for your dog. In spite of the hefty, muscular Staffie build, wearing this collar effectively shows off his softness and especially his manageability in the ring.

When walking in the countryside, put a stronger collar on your Staffie. Select from collars with decorations – the pretzel, knot or silhouette of entire Staffie figure or just the head.

A Staffordshire collar with the classic knot is not merely a fashion accessory or a fad. Above all, it proves, honours and preserves the history of this beautiful breed. That’s why it should not absent from the wardrobe of any Staffie.

Good luck for your next Show!

For Dogs

Woof, Ken, where did you get such finery? marvelled a pretty Staffordshire Bull Terrier a few days ago. Since then, dressed to the nines, I regularly break girls’ hearts. A hand-stitched collar in fragrant cowhide decorated in shiny metal with a Staffordshire knot simply attracts the ladies.

Collarsleashes and other canine harness made by Slade Czech saddlers are also available in bright colours for canine ladies. Don’t forget a dog tag to complete the outfit.Take your pick.

For humans

Where's my collar? I wonder. I see the master has pinched it to wear like a bracelet. Again! So I asked the master saddlers and we devised leather accessories for humans too. Check out the bracelets in colourful cowhide, aromatic keyrings and keychainsleather wallets and coasters. Everything in Staffie style. Make your choice.
