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.

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.

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.

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.
