A unique collection of historic and
fascinating dog collars has been built up over the years
and is now the only one of its kind in Great Britain.
Mrs. Gertrude Hunt most generously presented our collection
of collars to the Leeds Castle Foundation in memory of
her husband, John Hunt, the distinguished medievalist.
The collection of over 100 collars and related exhibits
has since been added to and enhanced by the Foundation
itself.
Spanning five centuries, the collection contains examples
of collars from fearsome fetters for the great hunting
hounds of the past, to canine couture for 21st century
pooches.
