Custom Leather Collars - Your collar is a unique, handcrafted leather item, and as such will have variations in the grain of the leather, stitch lengths, etc. It was made according to the measurements you supplied. It may appear to be a bit on the small side when you get it. It is done this way because of leather's natural tendency to stretch. This should cause no problems with the collar, and, as I said, was already compensated for as it was being built. Damage done by your dog is not covered by this warranty, though a chewed collar may be able to be fixed, too, but at a slight charge. Please remember that leather is a big chewing temptation to many dogs, and keep it out of reach when not in use!
