Description
Solid silver whistle made in Birmingham by the world renowned Acme Whistle Company, and threaded on to a comfortable and secure, soft, nappa leather thong. Hallmarked in Birmingham with the unique Rex hallmark.
Available in both 210.5 and 211.5 pitches.
If you’re not of aficionado status and want guidance, we recommend going for the 211.5 (‘two eleven and a half’) pitch, as opposed to the 210.5 (‘two ten and a half’) which is most commonly used in Field Trialing competitions.

Provenance
Made by hand in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter by the Acme Whistle Company, who have been making whistles at this same site since 1881.
A few facts about Acme:
They invented the original Metropolitan Police whistle in the 1880s
They have sold enough Thunderer Sports whistles to fill 12 Jumbo Jets
Their largest ever single order was for 7 million whistles in the 1980s
We'd love them to make 7 million Duke and Duchess whistles for Rex!
They first made a solid silver whistle as a gift for Her Majesty The Queen and have adapted that original mould for us
The collaboration between Acme, the provider of the world’s best dog whistles, and Rex by House of Mutt, the provider of the world’s best dog kit (we believe!), is an exciting development for both parties.
