Why show your dog in an original Staffie leather collar?

DOG SHOWS ARE SOCIAL EVENTS. DISCOVER NEW PLACES AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS

Dog shows have a rich tradition. Since 1935, when Joe Dunn founded the Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club, breeders have been showcasing their Staffies with traditional collars. Why? Because of their unique feature - the pretzel or knot. This sets their collars apart from those of other breeds.

Today, you can find a variety of collar types on the market - round or cut leather, all-leather collars, or versions with chains. It all depends on what suits your furry friend best and the occasion you’re preparing them for.

WHICH COLLAR TO CHOOSE? THINNER FOR SHOWS, THICKER FOR THE OUTDOORS

For shows, it's better to go with a thinner collar. Even with the Stafford's sturdy and muscular build, a thinner collar highlights their elegance and, most importantly, their control in the ring.

For outdoor adventures and walks, opt for a thicker collar. Look for collars adorned with decorations - pretzels, knots, or silhouettes of full figures or just the heads of SBTs.

A classic Staffordshire collar with a traditional knot isn't just a fashion accessory or trend. It primarily honors and preserves the history of this wonderful breed. Therefore, it should be a staple in every Staffie's wardrobe.

Best of luck at your next show!
