Bailey Says 🐾
Now, I know what you're thinking — it's just a lanyard, Bailey, how excited can you really get? And to that I say: very. Because that lanyard is what connects Craig to his whistle, and his whistle is what connects him to me. It's basically the most important piece of kit in the whole operation. When I hear that pip, I know exactly what to do. So yes, I care deeply about lanyard quality. This one's leather, it's dark tan, it looks brilliant, and it keeps the whistle exactly where it should be. My friends, do not underestimate the lanyard. 🐾

How To Use
Thread your gundog whistle onto the lanyard and adjust to a comfortable length around your neck. The bootlace leather is supple enough to knot or loop to your preferred fit. Wear over or under your jacket depending on conditions — keeping the whistle accessible at all times is the priority. After use in wet conditions, allow the lanyard to dry naturally before storing.
Care Guide
- Wipe clean with a soft dry cloth after each use
- Allow to dry naturally if wet — avoid direct heat sources
- Apply a small amount of leather conditioner occasionally to maintain suppleness
- Store loosely coiled in a dry place to prevent cracking
- Do not machine wash or submerge in water
Professional Insight
Training Academy Tip 💡
Keep your whistle on your lanyard at all times during a training session — even when you're not actively using it. Fumbling for a whistle at a critical moment breaks your timing and your dog's focus. Consistency in your signals starts with having your whistle instantly accessible every single time.

FAQs
Will this lanyard fit all gundog whistles?
Yes — the bootlace leather is compatible with all standard gundog whistles including Acme, Fox 40, and similar designs. Simply thread the whistle onto the lanyard before use.
How long is the lanyard?
The lanyard is designed to sit comfortably around the neck at a standard working length. The bootlace style allows you to adjust the fit by knotting or looping to your preference.
Is the leather pre-treated for weather resistance?
The leather has natural water resistance, but we recommend applying a leather conditioner before first use and periodically thereafter, especially if used regularly in wet field conditions.
Does the dark tan colour fade over time?
Like all quality leather, the dark tan will develop a natural patina with use — deepening and enriching in colour rather than fading. Regular conditioning will help maintain the finish.
