Where can I get these leads?

[poiuytrewq]

The trainer who has helped me with Bert gave me a slip lead to use, its only rope but very soft and thin. It also has a whole bank of rubber disk stoppers which apparently you discard as they get loose. I love it because its so small it just fits nicely in any pocket when we are off road walking- It also has a really small unobtrusive seal on the handle/lead part. Almost like a bit of tape, this again adds to the un-bulkiness! Most I see seem to have a thick chunk of leather there and as a single stop.

Then following on from liking that I'd like a really smart thin rolled leather just normal lead with a clip for my other dog, again really small so I can scrunch it into my pocket out walking. I'm terrible for loosing leads! I know this one will be a lot more expensive, the first looked very cheap and basic but if bright purple! I'd love a toned down colour!

Did you ask him where he got it from?

A show lead would probably fit the bill for the leather one.

No! can do but I didn't like it at the time. It's grown on me and now I hate anything bulkier.

Googling show lead was far more successful than just googling rolled leather lead, Ta!

OH has just started making his own (I appreciate it’s not quite as you described). He bought all the components on line but last week I bought him 30 metres of the cord in Lidl for £5 so he can loose them to his hearts content without it costing much!

He has five dogs now so non-bulky leads are a necessity.

The one in the pic - Vaseline tin for size - is one of his prototypes

Sharon at Essenjay for a thin rolled leather lead made to your spec, from memory under £30.

Essenjay or Showdog leads for the leather one.

For very thin slip leads look for 4mm field trial leads - Dog and Field, Sporting Saint, Muntjac Trading, Gamekeeper's Goods.

Eassenjay was one that I found searching show leads, they look good.
I’ll look at the others suggested this evening, any excuse to shop
@Spotherisk thats a great idea! Very clever! Love the toggle bit as presumably that won’t ever wear out unlike the disks!

She's a schippy person, tell her Nix's owner sent you! They'll be travelling for Crufts next week so bear that in mind if ordering online.

I get my soft rope ones from Amazon. Gun dog in the search box might help.

You could get a lead with trigger clip to attach to his collar or harness, with an O ring on the handle. Doesn't need to go in a pocket. Put it over your shoulder and attach the trigger clip to the O ring and carry it like you would a crossbody bag.
