Full grain leather only gets better with age. The durability of the material means that our collars can stand the test of time. Rather than wearing out, the collar will develop a natural patina – a luster or aura that develops in a quality piece of leather as it ages. With proper care Hot Dogs All Dressed leather dog collars have the potential to take on all the allure of that favorite leather jacket you have held on to for 15 years.
Check out the original Hot Dogs collar displayed on the far right of our home page. This is the first Hot Dogs leather collar ever made and the inspiration for the company. This collar belonged to a very special dog named Benny who came to Hot Dogs' president Viva severly abused and in desperate need of a home. Viva needed a collar that could endure all the difficulties that come with a resuce dog. Benny wore this original Hot Dogs collar for 11 years. Benny's collar is a testament to the durability of leather and it's ability to not only stand the test of time but to look good while doing it!
