About
the leads,
Kangaroo leather is stronger than other leathers because of it unique
properties. As Kangaroo is used it
becomes buttery soft and is Lightweight and easy on the hands.
Qualities prized by dog handlers.
All
of our leads are waterproofed and conditioned before sale but it MUST be understood
these are generally Light duty SHOW leads (4 thong). If you are going to
use the lead on a stronger dog, I can core the lead to add a little extra
strength to it (only cored on request).
Use with trained dogs, is always recommended.
The
truth about Kangaroo leather leads... Kangaroo leather is strong, BUT....
They
CAN break if abused, conditioned with the wrong products, or being a
natural product there is a hidden flaw in the hide that is not obvious
when the lace is
cut. I currently work with 3/22- 1/8" (2.5-3mm) lace in a
standard 4 thong round braid. Each lead has a finished width of 1/8-1/4"
thick. It
is important to be realistic about the dog
you will be using your lead on, and your responsibility to choose
appropriately.
I personally use a 4 thong lead with my Aussies, with the 1 1/2
" sized snap, or attached to a collar/chain. I do stand behind my
leashes, so in some cases if a lead brakes, I may be able to repair or
replace it at no charge or minimal charge to you.
I have a limited number of leads and have them listed that are done and
ready to ship. I do also take a limited number of "made to
order" I am at most dog shows around the country and will carry what
stock I have.
Please note ... I do this on MY SPARE TIME AS A HOBBY so custom orders can take 1-2
weeks to make and ship. Orders are limited by what I am working on, or
sometimes if I have a particular colour of lace.
