"Diana Gloe is the owner of Pfote und Leder and crafts individual Leather Collars and Leads for dogs.

Diana Gloe was born in 1976 in Coesfeld (Germany), is the mother of two girls and a loving wife.
She is living with her family and her animals in the beautiful Münsterland, to be specific in Billerbeck, a nice place on the brink to the Baumberge.
Two own dogs as well as one foster dog of the El Refugio Casas Ibanez are living with her.

Dogs have accompanied Diana Gloe all her life and always had a great importance.
So it was likely that she would eventually deal with this topic professionally.
As she was beforehand crafting leather items for herself, she started selling them for the animal welfare.
It became more and more and thus she decided to share her creations with other people.
Thus, the idea arose to become self-employed.

The animal welfare is an important part in Diana Gloe's life, thus she decided to donate 1.50€ of every odered item to the Refugio Casas Ibanez e.V..
Likewise she continually crafts products which are then sold by the animal welfare association.

Next to her leather works, Diana Gloe also offers a dog-walking service.
All offered items by Pfote und Leder are handmade and made out of the best materials. Every model was tested extensively by her dogs and foster dogs. Thus, the safety of the products can be guaranteed."

 
Pfote und Leder offers different Collars and Leads made out of Oiled Leather which are individually crafted.

Collar types are the Collar Fine (convenient innovative Collar with modified stop feature), the Collar Krümel (beautiful choke-stop Collar handmade out of high quality Oiled Leather), the Collar Lotti (noble braided choke-stop Collar), the Collar Chambao (Braided Collar with click fastenere made out of zinc die casting), the Collar TwoTone (beautiful Collar plaited out of two leather types), the Collar Soft (Collar made out of Soft Leather) and the Collar Knochen (Collar with decorative bone rivet).

Collar Krümel

  
Description of the Collar Krümel: "Choke-stop Collar are put on quicker and offer a high wearing comfort for the dog.
Due to the stop, this Collar is choke-free. Is it correctly measured, your dog won't be able to slip out of the Collar.
Beads or rhinestones can be plaited into the Collar.
Beads that are used are salivaproof and attached with a sturdy string. The metal fittings are all of high quality and either made out of stainless stell or brass.

Oiled Leather is flexible which is why the dog's neck circumference should be measured directly behind the ears so that the leather can still stretch. Should the dog not pull on the Lead, the neck circumference should be measured with a fingerbreadth space.
For dogs with big heads or stong ears, the measurement of the head circumference at the widest point should be given in addition.
As all products are only exclusively crafted after they are ordered, it can take up to 10 days until it is send. The individuality of the product will convince despite the wait."

The Collar Krümel is available in brown or black leather.

We have chosen the Collar Krümel in brown with stainless steel metal fittings:

   
  
Rocky with his Collar Krümel in brown by Pfote und Leder:
 

Review: I am more than happy with the Collar Krümel. It is completely plaited with a lot of effort and love which is extra difficult for a Collar in Rocky's size. The Collar Krümel is a choke-stop Collar which I especially like for vet visits as our vet prefers to examine Rocky while being "naked" (meaning without a Collar or Harness on). Thus, the Collar is quickly pulled over the head. Even though I generally don't use Collars on walks, but Harnesses instead, I still think the choke-stop Collar Krümel is very functional and very convenient in specific situations.
Next to it's functionality, I think the Collar is also very chic. The plaited Leather looks very noble and expensive.
 
    
    
Lead Olli

   
Description of the Lead Olli: "Three-way adjustable Lead made out of Oiled Leather. Total length about 240cm.
Available Lead widths are 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm or 16mm.
This Lead will accompany you a dog life long.
The Lead lays good in the hand due to the soft and pleasant Oiled Leather and the adjustability makes it an allround-talent. You will love this lead.

The plaited ends can be decorated with beads or rhinestones.
Likewise you can choose what length and width the Lead should have.
It is available in black or brown with brass or stainless stell metal fittings."

We have chosen the Lead Olli, matching to the Collar Krümel, in brown with stainless steel metal fittings and in the width 8mm:
 
   
  
Rocky with his Lead Olli by Pfote und Leder:
 

Review: I love the Lead Olli. I am an absolute fan of adjustable leads as they are very convenient in any situation. Furthermore, the Oiled Leather is super soft and adjusts well to the hand. The size is perfectly suitable for Rocky and I generally prefer thinner Leads so that you don't have to hold on to too much. I especially like the small snap hooks are plaited in and not riveted. This makes the Lead more study and looks more noble.

Overall review

I am absolutely enthused about the Oiled Leather products by Pfote und Leder. The workmanship is outstanding! The Collar and the Lead are crafted with a lot of effort, love and patience and you can easily see that. The Oiled Leather is of high quality and smells very pleasant like leather. I especially like that individual customer requests are considered and thus makes every Collar and Lead a unicum.
I moreover this that it is very praiseworthy that 1.50€ of every sold item is donated to the Refugio Casas Ibanez e.V.. Thus, one does not only buy a great, high quality product, but also one does something good for the animal welfare.
Overall, I can absolutely recommend the products by Pfote und Leder!
