D&H Double Twist Leather Dog Lead

Our rolled leather dog lead but doubled, and twisted.

Made of soft European leather in a range of colour options, solid brass or nickel-plated brass fittings.

Suitable for medium and large breeds.

The internal core of our lead is a specially-made pre-stretched polyester rope (6mm or 8mm) with a breakage point in the hundreds of kilograms. The rope (around which we wrap, glue, stitch the soft leather) is also ideal for marine use and won't rot therefore if it gets wet.

LENGTH

The Double Twist leather lead is approx 130cm (about 51-inches) long including the handle and trigger hook.

THICKNESS

Medium Plus is approx 1cm thick per strand with proportionally larger clip.

BIG DOG is thicker again at approx 1,2cm per strand and furnished with a substantial closing hook normally used to secure race-horses.

A cleaning with dubbin or saddle soap, then buffed up with a leather restorative like Neat's Foot Oil or a beeswax product (e.g. Renapur or Leather Genie) will help restore the leather to its natural lustre and protect it against the elements.

To help ensure the longevity of your dog's leather collar, allow to air-dry (not on a radiator) after it gets wet and ensure it is dry before re-using.

Do not allow the leather to come into contact with the chemicals from commercially-available flea spot-on treatments. This will damage the leather and may cause the dye to run.
