Sayly Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Too much 'bling' is a bit over the top but I don't mind one set of beads that match the dog's colour, anything more than that is a bit much for me, but each to their own. I personally love the leads that match suits though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stolzseinrotts Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) I was under the impression that a show lead should blend as best as possible to the colour of your dog so it doesn't stand out - is that wrong or no longer applies? I personally like the collar to blend well with the dog, I think a line on the dogs neck that is not broken by colour is better on the eye. But hey we all like different things so each to their own. I have seen a lot of the bling leads and I would agree with Sway that some can and do detract from the dog. Edited for clarity on my statement.

Bjelkier Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I was informed I won a Glamour lead a few days ago in a Raffle. Picked my colours and she sent it off yesterday, I can't wait to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Trip Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I think it should blend as much as possible. There is nothing worse in MYO then a lead that has beads right near the dogs head, I notice this more with self stacking breeds. You try and look at the dog and all you see is a bead bobbing up and down creating glare and a distraction. I'm not a fan of bling type leads. I so agree. I find baubles bobbing around near the dog's head distracting (surely it's the dog we want the judge to focus on) not to mention the nasty surprise smack in the eye from a swinging bauble that I saw one poor dog encounter as it moved. Some leads are pretty, but please keep the beads up the top and away from the dog's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jr_inoz Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Leads arrived and they are gorgeous. The ivory, toffee and gold lead looks lovely and suits my girl so well! She just needs to grow some coat so she can get back into the ring and use it! The dark green and gold lead looks great and I am sure will be appreciated by whoever wins it at the champ show coming up.
