This lead is praised for its softness, comfort, and affordability, making it a favorite among many dog owners. While it's ideal for larger breeds like Labradors and Schnauzers, some find it too heavy for smaller dogs or too rigid compared to oiled leather. Despite minor issues like carabiner scratches, the lead's quality and grip in various conditions are commendable. Overall, its price-performance ratio is excellent, offering great value for money.

Lovely lead
For our 10 kg Terrier mix, the lead and the carabiner are unfortunately too heavy. Apart from that, the lead makes a good impression. It's a shame that a lead like this isn't available here for smaller, lighter dogs.

Very good lead
The lead is really great, especially for such a small price, brilliant. It's soft and feels comfortable in the hand. What I particularly like is that it's lightweight. I find that very convenient when you've unleashed the dog. I'm absolutely satisfied, and so is my Labrador.

Good leather lead
It’s been a few years since I ordered this lead (certainly 6 years, together with the collar). Used almost daily with a Westie female, and now with a young, strong, and still boisterous Standard Schnauzer female. Probably a bit wide for toy breeds, but well-suited for all others, especially if the dog is still a bit wild, as it’s very easy to grip. The only issue is that the carabiner has picked up a few scratches, but otherwise, it’s a very sturdy lead that provides excellent grip in all weather conditions.

Soft is something else.
I bought the lead for my two German Shepherds in brown and black. I'm used to a different suppleness from oiled leather. For me, they are too rigid and stiff. They were also very dry when they arrived; oiled leather feels different. The leads are more work than joy. As a precaution, I replaced the clips with larger, sturdier ones.

Stable & affordable - The length can easily be adjusted with a bit of tinkering.
I’m really surprised at how affordable the lead is, because the quality is absolutely brilliant! It feels sturdy and not too rigid.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be a bit too long for me. But with the help of a cutter, I was able to shorten it easily: the entire lead is completely seam-free and only crafted using a (secure) braiding technique, so I was able to make a loop a bit further up without any trouble.

Super price for an amazing lead!
Super great soft lead, really sturdy braided piece, and feels good in the hand. I bought a similar one at Fressnapf, where the braided part always tightens up and doesn’t keep its shape at all like this lead does!
Fantastic price, great performance!

Favourite lead
I ordered this lead last year and was completely surprised by how soft the leather was. We have various leads at home because we have two dogs – one large and one small mixed breed – but this one is absolutely the favourite lead. Price/performance TOP!

Again and again...
Due to the price-performance ratio, we keep coming back, even though our lead rubs off and every walk leaves us with blackened hands. :/

Price/performance TOP
I am very pleased with this lead. Given the low price, I actually expected less and was absolutely positively surprised. Compared to my other narrow leather lead, this one is significantly lighter, which I currently find rather pleasant – I think my dog likes it too ;-). How well the lead holds up in the long run with rain and so on remains to be seen, so for now I've only rated it as good.

Leather lead
Unfortunately, this lead is far too heavy due to its width – when the dog walks nicely on a loose lead, there's far too much weight on their neck.

HEIM leather lead
The Heim leather lead is of great quality, and the price-performance ratio is excellent too.

Expectations met
Well, it’s “just” a lead, but we’re very satisfied. Great quality, excellent value for money. The material is fantastic and even a bit stretchy. I immediately ordered the matching collar as well – also great! Highly recommended!

Wider than standard fat leather leads, but otherwise great!
The lead is beautiful, elegant, and pleasantly lightweight. However, I’m only familiar with leather leads in much narrower versions, so I had to get used to the 18 mm width first. It’s a shame that Zooplus doesn’t offer leather leads in other widths and lengths. That said, we’re very happy with this lead, and at this price, there’s really nothing to complain about. Still, because I personally would prefer a width of 10 mm, I’m only giving four stars.

Pleasantly surprised ...
Thank you very much. First of all, a very fast delivery, then a pleasant surprise: I received a dog lead with clean, high-quality workmanship. It feels great in the hand and even holds my somewhat boisterous German Shepherd mix, who previously managed to destroy a riveted lead. Thanks to the braiding, the usual weak points found in riveted leads are absent. If you're looking for something sturdy, this lead comes highly recommended.
Thank you very much.

I bought the lead for my Hovawart-Boxer female dog. A really beautiful lead for little money. It feels great in the hand and is very lightweight for a leather lead. The first thing I did was give it a good coating of grease. I'm absolutely thrilled; it looks very stylish.
