The Desmond collar combines the style of patterned canvas fabric with the added refinement of hand-cut premium leather tips for ease of "buckling up" (especially for long-haired dogs like our Desmond). All Desmond collars are now reinforced from tip to tail with recycled leather to ensure that there is minimal stretching or risk of breakage. (For extra-strong pullers, you can always "level up" to our Jaxon Collar with reinforced metal rivets.)
