Thread: Quality Leather Leads

[FONT=Tahoma]Hi Jess[/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma]The best leads I have ever used are from Karenswood International Ltd. They are [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]entirely hand made in best English bridle leather (or buffalo hide) using thread that is made up by hand from raw hemp and bees-wax. They are not cheap but if you want a lead to last 20 years, they are the ones to buy. Their tracking harnesses are equally as good.[/FONT]

Hi Jess

In my opinion you can't go past Kurt from Dogquip here in Adelaide. Excellent quality and good soft leather..

I like some of the equipment made by Vasquez & they will custom make whatever you want if need be. Vasquez Collars: Train, Not Restrain

I agree with Mark, I have had my Dogquip leads for a few years now and can not fault them. Kurt is a prefered government supplier, his leads are used by RAAF and Police dog handlers.

Yeah, go local, Kurt at Dogquip supplies a good product and we should support our small business people in this industry.

Jess,

I have not bought from Kurt so cannot speak for his leads however I do have 3 from Steve Courtney and they have been well and truly put to the test.
The premium 3/4 leads have had no care at all in the last year or so yet feel better in the hand each time.They are certainly high quality and I believe come from the same supplier as Leerburg.

[FONT=Tahoma]I hadn’t intended to cause uproar by answering your question. I merely pointed out a supplier I had used many years ago who sold excellent quality leatherwork. We all have preferences for our equipment suppliers, as of course we do for our breed of choice, and as most of the suppliers here in [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]Australia[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma] import their goods from [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]Europe[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma] and the [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]US[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma] anyway, I didn’t see a big deal in mentioning Karenswood. [/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma]I have never done business with Dogquip, but I have looked at their website and only saw bite sleeves and bitesuits, therefore my experience of their dog leads etc. is non-existent. As they seem to come highly recommended for their leads as well, I see no reason not to use them.[/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma]I hope you get what you want.[/FONT]
