Extending leads?

Posted On: 01/08/2008 13:33:58

Hi me again!

Does anyone use an extending lead to walk there Staff?

I am tempted to get one but are they strong enough? We currently use a Rope type and a Leather with Brass.

Luv Ali x

03/08/2008 02:50:32 Hi Ali I use a padded harness with a 4 metre lead approx. The lead holds Raya well, although she's quite a small staff (14.5 kg). Main issue is rope burn on my hands if I'm not paying attention to the surrounds, and my doggie notices ducks (current favourite) in the distance. Good luck A

02/08/2008 03:33:46 Thanks for your replies... my little boy Reece wants a retractable lead for Diesel and Lola so they have a little more freedom. I'll have a look on good old ebay for one, Reece will be very happy now! Ali x

Hi Ali,

I use extending leads for both my staffords (J) one of 5 metres the other 4 m. One is tape type the other is thick string sort of thing. They are great and strong enough. Harley is almost 9 months and pulls hard sometimes and the lead is just great. The only thing I have found is that as I have two pups they get tangled sometimes and it is quite amusing to see me all tangled up in the middle of the park!! they almost had me over once lol!

01/08/2008 14:01:19 HI ALI, YEP I USE THEM BUT THE TAPE TYPE. THEY ARE LIKE CAR SEAT BELTS, MINE ARE 8 MT OR 30 FEET, E BAY SELL IN ENGLAND SOMEWHERE, WHERE ALL THE GOOD STUFF COMES FROM. I USE THEM ON MY PREGNANT BITCHES SO I CAN KEEP THEM FROM DOING SILLY STUFF WHILE THEY ARE IN WHELP, ALSO YOU CAN BUT A BRACE/COUPLER CHAIN THAT LET YOU PUT TWO DOGS ON THEM, I FIND THEM VERY STRONG. .JULIE
