laeral Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I got mine from k9force.net They have braided or plain. The leather is nice and soft on your hands. I was very pleased with my leash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teebs Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I got mine off someone at Shoeys dog club when i was in Melb, they were very cheap and i love them! I am very careful with what leads i use as kaos is strong and can pull if another dog is near, but i have had no problems with these leads!!

Natsu chan Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Lp Jencol makes plaited leather ones but they're show leads I don't know that they'd be strong enough for obedience. There's a saddlery in Ringwood called Saddleworld now but they have a saddler who makes things to order, he is very very good. I have the most lovely filly slip he made it's beautiful soft where it needs to be and very well made. I have no idea what it would cost you though. Do you want plaited as in plaited into a round like a stock whip? Or what are sold as plaited leads the flat leather ones with the loop plait at the clip and handle?

shoemonster Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Yep Bernie is ace! teebs it was bernie who made yours too I love my Bernie leads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopuppy04 Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks everyone To be honest I *don't* know what I want, I just want one that's not too thick, soft and comfortable in your hands. I don't like thick leads, so want something nice and thin (but not show lead thin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natsu chan Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) Jencol might be able to make you something thicker. Her leads are really lovely. You might know her LP she shows smooth collies. Or there's these. http://www.maka.com.au/products.php?cat=28 It might be worth talking to Capanash, I noticed at Southern that she had a really nice leather lead. I'm sure she'd let you have a feel of it, and thats the only way to know if it'll suit to be honest. Edited May 4, 2009 by Natsu chan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoemonster Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) These are my Bernie leads, he also makes them thicker like he did for Teebs or thinner like he does for puppy leads, mine are about 1/2" so not show thin but they dont feel chunky either Ed's is plain leather and Mollys is spesh - Bernie made it for her cos she ate through about 5 of the plain ones They are about $12-15 I think Edited May 4, 2009 by shoemonster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since I'm in NSW, can I ask how I could get in touch with Bernie if I wanted one? Cannot afford one quite yet, but might like one in the future - as that's a good price! Any chance he does strong plain leather collars??? Edited May 4, 2009 by ~pip~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Mine are 1.2m I can pm you his number if you like, then you can suss him out on collars too, and how to get leads later on etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipsqueak Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Yes please! I'm guessing he doesn't have an email address??? Just that sometimes it is easier to write than phone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoemonster Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Nah no email I dont think But you could email southern obedience and ask, they sell them there and Bernie is there pretty much every week anyway http://www.geocities.com/southern_obedience/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
