"Lucky" because the first two that I sold were used on dogs that had either not won (or won big) until they were shown on one of my leads - and had great results with their new leads! Leash #1 (dark brown with gold beads) - used on a Brittany puppy who had been entered as for experience only - Best of Breed over specials! Leash #2 - (black with bone and Jade beads) - used on a Smooth Fox Terrier,
whose highest placement prior to that day had been a group 3rd - won the group over the previous day's BIS winner, and, has since finished his American championship, owner handled. All my lace is conditioned, pre-stretched, beveled and split prior to braiding. Bead clusters are kept in place with proper terminal knots, and are braided under the beads as well. I only use tannery coloured leathers - I will not 'paint' color onto my leads. This may limit the colors available, but ensures that you get a quality product. I’ve been braiding since 2001, and my leads are used by some of the top owner and professional handlers in North America (with a few in the UK as well).
