These days there are many manufacturers who are providing collars which are exclusive, and they also have custom designed collars to suit your needs. These also make good gifts, as you can get them designed to suit and reflect the personality and likes of the canine owner.

Standing out from the crowd -

If you want your pet to stand out, you can easily have your collar made to include unique materials like leather, suede, vinyl and many precious metals such as platinum, silver, or gold.

Gemstones such as zircons, rubies, crystals, and even diamonds are often used to create gorgeous and very original patterns and designs on the collars.

Most commonly, crystals have been used to spell the pet's name, and they make the collar look more appealing in general. Unique collars are great, because they are still a collar, which means they will function like any other collar, except they make your dog special and stand out, which can also help if your dog were ever to be lost.

Sizes -

It's very important that you have the proper measurement for your dog's collar, as not all charts and general sizes (small, medium, large etc...) will fit your dog, since the collars are customized in the first place.

While some collars do come in sizes .like small, medium, and large; most often a dog's collar is measured in inches, and you can check the chart below to see some common measurements:

- Toy - 8 to 9 inches

- Small dogs - 10-14 inches

- Small to medium dogs, 14 to16 in

- Medium- 16-18 inches

- Larger dogs, 20 to 22 inches

- Very large dogs- 22-24 inches

The width of a dog collar is most often ?-1 inch, so you do not have to worry about finding a measurement for this, unless you prefer to have a collar which is wider, then you can just ask for the collar to be customized to suit your preference.

Jack Russels, Shelties and other similar sized dogs most often fall into the "small dog" category, as most have a neck circumference of about 10-14 in; which should help you to scale where your dog fits into the chart. Bigger dogs, like Labs, Retrievers, Dalmatians etc.. can have a varied collar size, because their neck sizes generally range anywhere from 14 to 20 inches, and likewise for large breed dogs; which is why you should always measure your dog's neck circumference.
