These beautiful collars are made from the same premium quality materials and hardware as our awesome leads. Unique double-D-ring design lets you use one ring for holding ID tags and the other for attaching the leash. These are heavy-duty collars sized for dogs over 30 pounds (13.5 kg)
Crafted without stitching for long-lasting quality—each collar features beveled edges that are smooth to the touch and gentle on your dog’s coat. Go ahead, let your dog go swimming and roll in the mud—quality natural leather will outlast any fabric or woven material.
**NOTE: Electronic devices will not fit this collar, our quality materials are too thick.**
Measuring:
Measure your dog’s neck as you want the collar to fit (do not add extra length). You can also measure the length of your existing collar, starting from one end and going to the hole that fits.
Our collars are measured to the MIDDLE HOLES to reflect the dog’s actual neck size! We think this is the most accurate way to measure.

Leather & Hardware Color
Our leather comes in two colors: tan and black.
Our standard leather/hardware color combinations are:
- Black leather with stainless steel/silver colored hardware
- Tan leather with brass/gold colored hardware
*If you would like a different leather/hardware color combination, select the option “Make with OTHER Color Hardware”.
*Note: brass hardware can stain white/light coated dogs. Sometimes the oil in dogs’ coats can create tarnish, a harmless chemical reaction.
About our leather:
Our Golden TAN BRIDLE leather is 100% American vegetable-tanned leather, made with NO dyes or toxic metallic chemicals. Reminiscent of fine English horse tack, this leather is superior in quality to any other leash you’ve seen. Every leash is HAND-OILED to bring out the softness, so your leash arrives supple and feels great in your hands immediately and only improves with age. The color will darken with use and age.
Our lovely BLACK LATIGO leather is solid black, and superior to ordinary leashes in texture and quality, cut from select USA hides. It is incredibly durable, yet is very flexible. Feels great in your hands and will simply get better with age.
Brahma:
Strong as a Brahma bull, this man-made leather alternative is great for your adventurous pal. It is constructed with webbing on the inside and a durable, non-tacky PVC coating on the outside. This material can take a beating through brush, muck, and saltwater. Brahma is great for any extreme weather condition, resilient in cold weather, and is resistant to abrasions and stink. It is a nice weight, flexible, and has a feel that resembles leather. It won’t absorb dirt & moisture like rope, nylon or fabric. Brahma material is so reliable that it comes with our unmatched Lifetime Warranty! Plus it is easy to clean: Just wipe clean with soap and water.

We first got the quick release collar and its big brass buckle was much too heavy for my 43 lb French Brittany. I waited almost an entire month before sending it back and ordering the double D ring collar instead. BLD exchanged the collar without any questions asked, very happy about their customer service! The double D ring collar is a perfect fit and we quickly adjusted to the standard buckle (I had been concerned that the standard buckle would be inconvenient but it is not). We live in Nevada and I like that the leather does not catch foxtail or cactus thorns which was an issue with our dogs previous nylon collar.

I got a bunch of collars for my dog. Some made of recycled material, very eco-friendly, some made out of very dense rubber, two slip leads and some nylon collars. I keep going back to the simple double D ring collar from Bold Lead Designs. Outstanding quality and built to last.

A few months ago I bought this collar and a 6′ lead to match in tan. I had been searching everywhere for a beautiful tan lead and collar set. Having read the positive reviews and liking what I saw on the website I confidently ordered the set online. I had some queries about sizing which was quickly and professionally answered. They even posted it to Australia!!
The quality of the leather, brass and construction is fantastic. Both items started off quite stiff but after much use they are now lovely and soft – a real pleasure to handle.
My only criticism, and reason why I’m not giving this 5 stars is because the set we ordered was not the colour I had wanted or had anticipated receiving. The tan we received is nothing like the images, and is actually a mid-dark brown. The collar has darkened considerably more than the lead to a rich mahogany. I’m still remarkably disappointed by the colour.

I just wanted to let you know that I love your leads and collars. I had been searching for the perfect lead/collar combination for my Bernese pups. I had ordered from other places, and the product wasn’t quite right (cheap-feeling hardware, uneven leather width, unfinished edges, etc.). Your leashes and collars are perfect. Outstanding-quality hardware (love the screw-in rivets), thoughtful design (like the double d-ring on the collar), and substantial feel. I’ll be back for the tan leather versions soon.
