What is paracord?
Parachute cord AKA "Paracord" is a small cord consisting of a coloured cover and 7 tiny inner strands. We typically use Paracord 550 as decor (for example, nosebands on halters or turkshead knots on lead ropes) or as the main braided component of items such as dog collars, leashes, and hand-braided reins.
Collar size chart
Here we have a general sizing guideline according to breed, however, be sure to measure your dog using the instructions provided.
How to measure for a dog collar
Measure around your dog's neck with a piece of string or flexible tape measure where you'd like the collar to sit.
Allow space for two fingers to fit between the neck and the collar. It is better for the collar to be slightly too big than slightly too small.
