We noticed that there was a need for a round dog collar that is 100% natural, comfortable, durable and trendy which is why we created the GIZMO and BALDY Collection. These Round Leather and Rope Dog Collars are made of Sustainable Leather from Century Old Tanneries in Italy. The colors are derived from plants and not chemicals. It takes about 40 days to transform raw hides into unique, durable and versatile vegetable tanned leather.
HUND Denmark combines Functional Danish Design with the latest Technology to protect our environment, companions and employees. The BALDY Collars have been chosen as a favorite product of 2017 by the Modern Dog Magazine and are the only round leather collars on the market without an outside seam.
So in the end, it may cost us a few more pennies per square foot of leather, but we feel that it is a small price to pay for leather that will last longer, is kinder to our companions as well as the earth.
HUND's leather has been awarded the German Blue Angel Certificate that guarantees a product to meet high standards when it comes to its environmental, health and performance characteristics. The final result is velvety soft luxurious leather in vibrant colors.
Round leather or rope dog collars are overall a great option for dogs with longer hair/fur to prevent matting/pulling and irritation in the neck area. Like with any product you purchase today, educate yourself about the pros and cons of the different types of collars and how they are made to ensure your are making the best choice for your companion.

There is an overwhelming amount of dog collars on the market today but which collars are best suited for dogs that suffer from allergies, matting or irritation in the neck area?
We are examining the differences between round and flat collars vs the most popular: nylon and leather dog collars.
Today more and more dogs suffer from allergies and various skin disorders so wearing a collar that is comfortable and "clean" becomes a priority.
For safety reasons dogs should preferably be wearing their collars 24/7 which is another reason why collar comfort should be first priority for a dog owner.
Round dog collars are typically known for being best suited for dogs with longer fur/hair with a tendency to matting. These collars don't have an edge that can irritate the skin or rub on the hair and eventually result in matting issues. Round collars are available in various materials and even if your dog doesn't have long fur but suffers from sensitive skin it is recommended to use a round collar. We recommend leather that is natural and closest to a dog's own skin chemistry. Note, when looking for a leather dog collar make sure the leather is soft and not Latigo leather that is rougher and harder on a dog's skin. About 95% of leather today is made in China or India using lots of toxins so look for round collars made of soft Italian leather that is vegetable tanned without the use of toxins.
Flat collars are very popular and come in various types of material. These collars are generally more suitable for dogs with short fur in that the flat edging can cause some rubbing and friction on longer hair. When choosing a flat collar it is important to chose the right material. Nylon collars are very popular, affordable and pretty durable -although they don't seem to last that long. Leather collars typically last longer but are more costly, especially if you are getting a high quality leather collar. Again, it is important to be picky about the quality of the leather. You want the collar to be sturdy but not too stiff so it will chafe your dog's neck. Soft leather collars are a good option to keep your dog comfortable and safe.
Finally, don't let the price tag on a fancy design collar fool you to believe it is comfortable. Many of the collar makers prioritize the look over the comfort which unfortunately can result in some serious damage to your pup's skin. Just google "Skin rub due to dog collar" and you will see thousands of disturbing pictures of dogs suffering from bad burns from non- functional dog collars.
We noticed that there was a need for dog collars that were 100% natural, comfortable, durable and trendy so we created the GIZMO and BALDY Collection. These Round Leather Dog Collars are made of Sustainable Leather from Century Old Tanneries in Italy. The colors are derived from plants and not chemicals. It takes about 40 days to transform raw hides into unique, durable and versatile vegetable tanned leather. 90% of leather today is typically made in a couple of days using harsh chemicals.
HUND Denmark marries nature and Functional Danish Design with the latest Technology to protect our environment, companions and employees. The BALDY Collars have been chosen as a favorite product by the Modern Dog Magazine and are the only round collars on the market without an outside seam to prevent irritation suitable for short and long haired dog breeds.
So in the end, it may cost us a few more pennies per square foot of leather, but we feel that it is a small price to pay for leather that will last longer, is kinder to our companions as well as the earth.

If you are shopping for a Leather Martingale collar it can be overwhelming to sift through all the different types of collars to figure out what type is best for your pup. This article will help you to quickly identify the differences between the different leather collars so you can make the best-educated decision for your pup’s needs.
If you are looking for a Martingale collar, chances are your dog is a leash puller or even worse, an escape artist. Dogs are very intelligent and once they figure out to slip out of a standard collar once, they will begin doing it all the time which becomes a safety concern. Don’t make the mistake of trying to pull the dog harder, because you risk choking your dog and straining their neck.
A better solution is to use a Martingale collar that is designed with two loops that tighten to give greater control and reduce the risk of a dog slipping out of their collar. Martingale collars are not choke collars so they will not hurt your pup if you have the correct size.
There are hundreds and hundreds of different designs available on the market today. There are Martingale collars made from: Fabric, Nylon, Hemp, Leather etc. If you are reading this article you have probably already done your research and realized that leather is the best material to choose for a dog. Leather is extremely durable as well as the most natural material for a dog to wear. With that said, there is an overwhelming variety of leather collars available on the market and it is imperative that we as dog owners learn to sift through the bad ones.
Most Leather Martingale collars have a flat design and are made of Latigo leather that is tough and durable but can be a bit rough on a dog’s skin due to the rough and stiff nature of the leather. Furthermore, the leather used for those types of collars is typically made in China or India and is loaded with chemicals that can directly irritate the neck area from chemicals rubbing off into the pet's skin. There goes the benefit of leather being the most natural and closest to a pet’s own skin chemistry. The flat design of the collar can also cause friction on the dog’s neck and cause rubbing on their neck, this is especially true for dogs that pull.
Round Leather Martingale collars are great for dogs that pull and dogs with longer hair prone to matting. When shopping for a round collar make sure it isn’t a “Rolled Leather Dog Collar” since it is not suitable for dogs that pull. Although, it is pretty durable, the constant pulling will expand the leather until it eventually breaks. A round leather collar has a Nylon Rope on the inside to ensure that the collar is extra durable yet soft. When purchasing a round martingale leather collar, I recommend looking for a “Made in USA” or “Made in Europe” label to ensure you are getting the highest quality product without the unnecessary toxins. Note, most companies that go the extra mile to provide clean materials to their customers will typically rave about it on their website. So if you don' t see it mentioned in their product description, it is a good indicator that the product is not clean and most likely from China.

Leather Martingale Dog collars are overall a great option for dogs that pull or escape from their regular collars. We do however recommend only to wear Martingale collars when walking your dog. While the dog is relaxing at home, we recommend keeping them in a comfortable and safe dog collar.
Like with any product you purchase today, educate yourself about the pros and cons of the different types of collars and how they are made to ensure your are making the best choice for your companion.

Rolled leather dog collars are simply that, a piece of leather rolled and stitched together by a machine. These collars are typically made of Latigo leather that is tough and durable but can be a bit rough on a dog’s skin due to the rough nature of the leather. Furthermore, the leather used for those type of collars is typically made in China or India and is loaded with chemicals. Since the pet has to wear their collar pretty much around the clock and their skin is the largest organ, all the nasty toxins get absorbed through their skin and enter their bodies as well as directly irritating the neck area from chemicals rubbing off onto the pet's skin. There goes the benefit of leather being the most natural and closest to a pet’s own skin chemistry.
So in short, rolled leather dog collars do their job of preventing hair matting but they can be a bit tough on the skin leading to irritation. Another downside to rolled leather is that it is not suitable for dogs that pull. Although, it is pretty durable, the constant pulling will expand the leather until it eventually breaks. When purchasing a rolled leather collar, I recommend looking for a “Made in USA” or “Made in Europe” label to ensure you are getting the highest quality product without the unnecessary toxins.
Round leather dog collars are typically made of softer leather on the outside and a rope on the inside. These collars are typically even nicer to prevent hair matting and more comfortable. Most of the round collars on the market are made from medium to soft leather on the outside and a tough rope on the inside. Although these collars are more comfortable than Rolled Leather Collars, they can still be quite stiff and not 100% comfortable for a pet.
Most makers also have an outside stitching/edging on their round collars that can rub against the dog’s hair/fur contributing to some degree of matting and irritation as well as making the design less appealing. It is difficult to tell from a picture how soft a dog collar is and whether it has an outside edge/seam, (The makers typically don't show this part on their pictures) so make sure you read the product description well or ask the manufacturer about the edging/seam and what type of material has been used -as well as what country the leather is from. Over 90% of leather is made in China or India so be ware of that.
Note, most companies that go the extra mile to provide clean materials to their customers will typically rave about it on their website. So if you don' t see it mentioned in their product description, it is a good indicator that the product is not clean and most likely from China.

Dogs are playful, and at times they have a destructive mouth, tearing everything they come along even your personal belongings.
