Which slip lead type/brand is your preference?
I need a new one and wondered what you all use.

Re: Slip lead
the one I dont lose is the preferred brand!
i dont think many people on here have a preference as the aim of the game is to have your dog off the lead (even heeling off the lead)! Ive even seen gamekeepers use baling twine & a soft drink ring pull as an interim fix!

Too many Springers, and Roxie the black cocker.

Re: Slip lead
Local petshop or sporting saint, usually. I'm more interested in what colour it is, rather than the brand.dandogman wrote:Which slip lead type/brand is your preference?

KJK Ropeworks. Very nice soft rope, although some colours are softer than others. Load of different lengths and thicknesses. I have a couple of 8mm ones in my car for when I need to introduce a new dog to a slip-lead. Otherwise I use 6mm ones on my two, because they fit easily in my back pocket when out on walks.

Re: Slip lead
I like a thick braided type rather than the barleytwist rope ones, find them easier on my hand. Prefer to have the dogs off-lead but as we've moved into a village and are right on the main road its not always an option. Got 2 leads for Bryn, same colour and braid but one is a slip for everyday and the other a standard for his classes.

Re: Slip lead
I like the thin white turner Richie one when working. As its in my pockets 95% of the time, and it dose not take up as much room as the thicker ones I have.
