Our leads are handmade in Southampton, United Kingdom, by a Master Rigger using traditional rope-working techniques and carefully selected materials.

Our leads are handmade by a professional Master Rigger whose career has included competing in two America’s Cups. The same attention to detail, craftsmanship and rope working expertise is applied to every lead we make.

Technora® is a high-performance aramid fibre from the same family as Kevlar®. It is renowned for its exceptional strength, durability and abrasion resistance, making it ideally suited to demanding applications.

We wanted a lead that was exceptionally strong without being bulky or cumbersome. Technora® delivers outstanding strength while remaining lightweight, flexible and comfortable for everyday use.

By removing the core, we create a lead that is lighter, more flexible and easier to pocket. The result is a lead that handles beautifully in the field while taking up very little space when not in use.

Our leads feature traditional cast brass fittings selected for their strength, durability and timeless appearance. Brass is naturally corrosion resistant and develops character with age and use.

We strength tested our leads to 500kg, which was the maximum capacity of our testing equipment. This provides an enormous margin of safety for even the strongest dogs.

Our Slip Lead combines collar and lead into a single piece of equipment, making it quick and convenient to put on and remove. It is particularly popular with working dog owners, trainers and handlers who value simplicity and speed.

Our Clip Lead attaches to a separate collar and is often preferred by owners looking for a more traditional everyday lead arrangement.

Both are handmade from the same Technora® rope and use the same traditional craftsmanship and materials.

Our XL Slip Lead and XL Clip Lead offer exactly the same design and functionality as our standard leads, but with additional length.

Many owners appreciate the extra reach when training, exercising young dogs or allowing greater freedom while maintaining control.

The Jaeger Lead is a traditional hunting lead designed to perform multiple roles in the field.

Available as either a Slip Lead or Clip Lead, it offers considerably greater versatility than a conventional dog lead while retaining the same lightweight, strong and compact construction.

The Jaeger Lead is one of the most versatile pieces of dog handling equipment we offer.

Many owners use it:

• Worn over the shoulder for hands-free walking.
• As a longer lead when additional freedom is required.
• To control two dogs simultaneously.
• As a temporary tie-out when appropriate.
• For training and field use where flexibility is important.

Its ability to perform multiple roles whilst remaining lightweight, compact and exceptionally strong has made it a long standing favourite amongst hunters and working dog owners.

The Jaeger Slip Lead combines the speed and simplicity of a traditional slip lead with the versatility of the Jaeger system.

It is particularly popular with working dog handlers who regularly move between walking, training and hunting situations.

The Jaeger Clip Lead provides all the versatility of the Jaeger system while allowing the lead to be attached to a separate collar.

Many owners prefer this arrangement for everyday use while still benefiting from the lead’s multi-purpose design.

• Slip Lead – Fast, simple and popular with working dog owners.

• XL Slip Lead – The standard Slip Lead with additional length.
• XL Clip Lead – The standard Clip Lead with additional length.

Many trainers and working dog owners value their simplicity, particularly when handling multiple dogs or moving frequently between work and exercise.
