Many hounds have a neck size between 9" - 11", with many falling right at 9".  Many people have asked which size to choose and we have added an 8"-10" size range to accommodate these hounds.

Which Width is Right for My IG?
Collar width depends on the neck length of your dog. Your IGs height is a good indicator of what size they can wear.  Weight really does not come into play on collar width.  The longer boned your dog is, the wider the collar.  Dogs with shorter necks need a narrower collar.

Photo Example Below - The photo below shows how neck shape determines collar width.  The IGs below are almost the same height and weight, but their builds are very different.  Each is wearing a 1" wide collar that fits differently

Gracie (on the left) is 14" tall with long, thin bones and weights only 9 1/2 pounds.  She is wearing a 1" collar and you can see she still has plenty of neck space. Gracie can get away with a 1 1/2" collar because of her neck length.

Zoe (on the right) is 13" tall and weighs 10 pounds, but is stockier and has a short neck, so she wears a 1" collar.  1 1/2" collars are too wide for Zoe.  They come right up to her chin and is not comfortable for her.

Many of the 'itty bitty' IGs will wear a 1" collar.  Standards and 'biggies' can wear either size collar.
