IN the US, try Tandy Leather Company or The Leather Factory stores. They sell cow rawhide in whole skins of varying sizes, and in strips about 2" (50mm) wide. The latter should work fine for shield edging, and you don't have to worry about the dog chews (some of them are partly cooked, and not really rawhide, and they don't work very well.). The strips are flat, and easy to soak and stretch.
