Please wait for a moment as pictures of our dog leads load. To see a close-up on any of the following items, please click on any picture. All items are custom made and subject to your specifications.
 
Traditional handcrafted leather work has many advantages. Each strap of leather is carefully inspected for uniformity and defects. Each piece is oiled, to a greater or lesser extent, depending on your need. All ends are tapered, skived, cropped, folded back and hand sewn. All seams are hand rubbed for smoothness. The edges are dyed, not painted. They remain black. (Painted edges have their place. We can discuss.)
 
Designing items with the craftsman and working with your specifications are advantages to having a custom made product. Having worked with many customers over the years, I have gained a good sense of what works best and looks best. Exact length, width, size of handle, weight of leather, type of leather, necessary strength, firmness/softness and color combinations are specifications to be considered when designing a product.

1/4" Hand Stitched Show Lead and Choker

     Here is a combination of a black hand stitched show lead and choker. A matching choker and lead gives nice symmetry and the leather choker draws less attention in the ring. I cut my thin show leads and thin chokers from the firmer part of the hide to ensure the greater strength for the least amount of leather. For the experienced handler, I will make the lead as light as you feel confident with.

1/4" Hand Stitched Show Lead

     Typically a show lead will have a smaller handle (4-finger, 3-finger, thumb loop) depending upon your preference. It is braided and hand stitched at the handle. The stitching helps to give a smooth, clean feel while the braid is decorative but also helps you know you are coming to the end of your lead. The snap end is stitched for a neat look.

1/4" Hand Stitched Slip Lead with Leather Stop

Most requested and popular item

     My customers enjoy this lead for its versatility. It works nicely for agility and in the show ring. With sensitive dogs, dropping and shaking of the head may stop when using this lead. It may also be opened up, going over the head, and then closed, which is an advantage for dogs whose heads are significantly larger than their necks. It is also good for training. The leather is easier on the coat and particularly helps with chafing on short coated dogs. This lead is available from 1' to 5' off neck.
