About Us

It is a site where Bull Breed owners, enthusiasts and admirers of the breed meet, post pictures, get advice and
find like-minded people who share the same interests. When I posted pictures, people were very interested in the
collars that my dogs were wearing. Very surprised with the positive feedback I was receiving I started making
more collars and posting them. I started to recieve several emails per week from people asking me if I would make
a collar for their dog. That was the beginning of Olde Tyme Collars.

Since the beginning 5 years ago I have created more than 100 collars and have not looked back. I enjoy the road I
travel. I have met some fantastic people and dogs along the way. It is rewarding to see dogs around the world
wearing their Olde Tyme Collars.

Olde Tyme Collars was started after I almost lost my Olde English Bulldogge to a neighbour's bullet. He had
broken his newly purchased collar from one of the local Box-Stores here in town. I was tired of buying products
that would never last.

Enjoying leatherwork I decided to create my own dog collar, one that would
withstand the strength of our 110 pound Olde English Bulldogge.

"Ripley the Tyrant" his name says it all. After making several collars, I finally
designed a collar I was happy with. I started adding conches, studs, spikes and
nameplates for look and I realized I HAD THE NACK FOR THIS.

At that time I was the Administrator of an internet website "The Bullring". The
Bullring is a site owned and operated by Steve Barnett of Dorset England, the
creator of the Dorset Olde Tyme Bulldog.
