TRADITIONAL Swiss Collars

Our "Traditional" Swiss collars represent a family craft which dates back over 250 years, and supports the festive nature of the breathtaking Appenzeller region of Switzerland. Indeed, each collar is handcrafted by the 7th generation descendant of the original founder of this alpine tradition. As his ancestors, our craftsman uses only the finest of leather for his work and each piece is adorned with representative alpine figures, hand carved, cut, and tooled from brass or alpine silver pieces. He also specializes in decorative cowbells and belts, which also play a big role in Swiss traditions.

The Traditional Collars were originally made for the colorful cattle drives in the summer and fall. At this time the herdsman puts on his best 'tracht' or traditional dress, his dog wears his nicest collar, and the cows are adorned with colorful treicheln or glocken (alpine cowbells) for their journey up to the mountain pastures in the spring and back down to the valley meadows in the fall. See our pictures on our Pictures page.

CONTEMPORARY Swiss Collars

Our "Contemporary" Swiss dog collars are similar to the Traditional version, however vary slightly in style and have been handcrafted for 4 generations instead of 7. These collars, together with alpine belts and decorative cowbells, are still "the family business" and our craftsman looks forward to making his products available to the American market through Schaussi's Alpen Schatz.

As with the Traditional collars, only the finest of leather is used and each piece is adorned with representative alpine figures hand carved, cut, and tooled from brass or alpine silver pieces.

SIZING YOUR COLLAR: We recommend that you measure your dog's neck and then ADD 3 ½" for small to medium collars or 4" for the very large collars to determine the correct length of collar to order for your dog.
