Collars from Sirius

Springtime in Kansas. Wind, rain, snow, sun - you name it, we have it. Things are certainly turning green quickly.

We are not making leather collars on a regular basis at this time, so links to the leather pages have been removed. We may be able to add them back as some point in the future, but there will be no more fully tooled leather collars.

One thing that has caused serious delays recently is mis-measured collars, which given our low volume and the amount of time spent on each collar significantly slows production. Even though we have always had a disclaimer on our measuring instructions page, it has been our policy to accept the return of collars that have not been measured correctly, and we have made a new collar to the correct size with not extra charge. That will continue to be our policy, for now at least. However, since all of the collars ordered on this web site are made to order, we are getting quite a collection of collars that just didn't fit. We do have ways to make them go away given enough time, but it would be easier for everyone if the measurements were correct to start out with. To that end, I will probably be nagging everyone who orders to measure two or three times, and then asking "Are you sure?" again just for good measure. If you have questions after reading the Measuring page, please feel free to ask.

About Our Collars

For the past sixteen years we have been committed to making high-quality, handcrafted dog collars that will last many years given reasonable care. We started making cloth collars first, at the request of people in search of a well-made, sighthound-type collar that was a little out of the ordinary. People who don't have sighthounds started seeing our collars and wanting them, so here we are.

Our collar making philosophy is simple. First it has to be well made and safe. Then it can be pretty.  After years of experience making custom horse equipment it was just common sense to carry over the techniques and principles practiced in that area into our dog collars. For example, we use only solid cast brass hardware, no "cheap" split or welded steel. Our cloth collars are sewn by machine using premium threads and reinforced at stress points. Our leather collars are all stitched by hand and any tooling is done by hand -- no embossing on our collars. Because we cannot guarantee the care the collar will receive after it leaves our shop, we cannot guarantee the collars after they have been used. However, if you are not satisfied with the craftsmanship and quality of the collar when you receive it, we will happily refund your money.

But where do I find the prices? A number of people have asked where to find pricing information on the collars. The prices are toward the bottom of each of the descriptive pages for each type of collar. For example, the price for a plain cloth collar can be found by clicking on Plain under the Cloth Collar heading to the left, then scrolling down through the page. Or, for all cloth collar pricing on one page, go to Cloth Collar Pricing.

The Web Site

When putting together this web site, I designed it to be fast and functional. I assume that you are here to look for dog collars. Keeping that in mind, you will find very few animations, no music or other things that will require special plug-ins, and I have tried to keep the graphics simple and the photo sizes down, allowing you to follow small photos to larger photos if you are interested in an item. If you would like to provide feedback about the site, please feel free to e-mail me at: webmaster@siriusenterprises.com
