This will match his two sisters’ purple sets too! 😍

I got to hand deliver this beautiful burnt orange slip collar on a recent trip to England.
I was even able to take a few photos of Retter in his new collar as well!
Such a pleasure to meet him and his owner Lizzie 🥰

It’s so nice when someone else does all the leg work for you! 😂
Blessed to have lovely customers that do some PR when they are out and about!

This is the stunning Schafer who lives in Northern Ireland, but is currently on holiday in England with his people and his border collie sister Chance.

Sporting a lovely traffic lead in the ever popular forest green and black combo with brass hardware.

This is going to be a well used lead as Schafer is always on an adventure!!

How adorable is Bramble showing off her new lead??
She’s evening holding one of our cards! Talented girl 😍

07/07/2023

A lovely amethyst and teal slip lead for Bramble the Springer, sent off in the post this morning!

25/06/2023

Always hard to photograph martingales when they aren’t on a dog, but I was recently asked to make another very wide martingale for Neapolitan Mastiff, Rocco!

Can’t wait to see it on him. His lovely humans recently bought him one of our Orange and Blue slip leads as well, so he’s all kitted out in matching colours 😍
(and we all know I am all about matching collars and leads 😉)

16/05/2023

Stunning puppy Cleo showing off her teal martingale collar and lead!
This collar should grow with her as I think she’s going to be a big girl 🫢🫢

09/05/2023

My favourite little pointy dog wearing a neon orange collar in 16mm webbing specially requested by his owner!
Retter pulls this off so well 👌🏻

08/05/2023

Beautiful Bramble, the springer spaniel showing off her neon pink and purple slip lead!

Big order of slip leads just finished!
Different lengths and colour combinations.

Had a lot of fun working on these after some time off!

09/09/2022

Looking for ready made products?

You can find some of my pieces in a few different shops!

We have some at Beehouse in Bangor (co down), BARK-elicious Bakes in Lisburn, at Eden Pottery on the Abbey Road, and in Natural Raw Feeding NI LTD in Millisle!

I’m almost always open for custom orders as well 😁

24/08/2022

New colour alert!
I have some of this lovely new purple available.
It’s called Amethyst Orchid and is the perfect shade to go between the pastel lavender colour and the dark violet that I have previously used 😁
Looking forward to making a few pieces in this colour!

20/08/2022

Logan this time modelling one of my all time favourite leads!
A traffic lead done in Teal and Grey standard biothane, with black hardware.
Perfect for city walking, or anywhere you need to be able to comfortably hold the dog a little closer 👌🏻 The traffic handle closest to the collar is comfortable to use and this colour combination is to die for 😍🐺

12/08/2022

Steve putting one of my long lines to the ultimate test a few nights ago!
Perfect for the beach, I was able to just let this sit in the water the entire time we where there and didn’t have to worry about it!

No handle to catch on anything, and the waterproof webbing makes it perfect to just wipe down at the end of your adventure!

I’ll be offering these in a few limited colours very soon 😁

05/08/2022

A great look at the grooming slips in use!
And an even better look at this awesome Mohawk Tracey has done on a lovely schnauzer!

27/07/2022

The incredibly handsome Mr Jones the Gordon Setter looking dashing in his forest and wine combination.

This collar and lead set have safely made it all the way over to Canada!

Jones pulls these colours off magnificently 😍😍

22/07/2022

I love when people ask me to make something ‘a little different’!
This collar is for a lovely Silken Windhound called Retter. It has a feature where the Buckle goes through the O ring for a little bit extra security!
Made in 16mm super flex, which is perfect for small breeds or dogs that don’t pull on the lead!

15/07/2022

Here is the lovely Rocco the Neapolitan Mastiff puppy with his orange martingale collar!

It was a special request of 38mm webbing, and it turned out really well. I’m chuffed with it and it looks fab on him 😍

02/07/2022

I realised that my own dogs don’t actually have any totally plain collars!

So went back to the leatherwork and was able to fasten up this nice plain tan collar for Barry. He looks very sophisticated in it 😁 the colour really suits him, and it will naturally darken with use and cleaning/soaping so it’s going to look totally different in a few months time!

Looking forward to letting him use this 🥰

01/07/2022

Had a request for 2 scent lines and a matching adjustable collar for this order, dropping them off to their new home tomorrow 😁

22/06/2022

Just a ‘little’ collar made up for a recent order 🤭
A special request of a martingale made in 38mm webbing for a 8 month old Mastiff puppy!
Hopefully he won’t grow out of this one as quickly as he has his previous collars!!

20/06/2022

Some new leads made up recently, 2 colour slip leads in 16mm!
They are a little over 5ft in length.

11/05/2022

Hi everyone, I’m taking a few days off this month!
I’m away for a week and have a lot of personal things to catch up on, so orders will be taken again from Tuesday 24th onwards.

I’m still awaiting some stock arriving too but am having supplier issues with some items being out of stock etc.

Will update when I’m back! 😁

08/05/2022

A brass and teal set completed recently for a Golden Retriever puppy!
Such a lovely colour, definitely one of my favourites!

19/04/2022

Finally some love for the tiny breeds!
Here are some teeny tiny collars finished up recently and a few thinner leads.

The leads are 16mm Biothane beta standard, and the collars are 16mm adjustable flexible biothane!
I can only get the collar material in certain colours currently, but they’re nice and bright and are perfect for small breeds like Miniature Dachshunds, Jack Russell Terriers, King Charles Spaniels etc!

(These collars are also perfect for puppies of larger breeds!!)

30/03/2022

16/03/2022

Love this pastel combo! 😍

07/03/2022

Neon orange quick release martingale and matching lead for a growing shepherd puppy!

05/03/2022

Absolutely stunning NEW seafoam! This colour is just amazing and looks so different in certain lights that I’ve had to add 3 photos and still none of them show off the true colour 😂

Definitely a new favourite 😍

02/03/2022

Simple but effective pastel green and brass collar for a lovely retriever pup! 🥰

Puppy sets for Natural Raw Feeding NI! 🐶
Wine and forest green with brass hardware.

Both collars and leads are made from the 20mm standard biothane!

21/01/2022

I’m always up for a challenge! So when The Groomer asked me if I could make her some adjustable belly straps to go with her grooming nooses, I jumped at the chance!

I think these turned out great 😁

20/01/2022

This is such a vibrant combination! Absolutely love how this set has turned out 😍

The collar is the wider 38mm reduced to 25mm with silver hardware, and my standard 20mm lead.
I love working on creative colour combos!
