Favourite leashes?

  • Mine all have Rogz collars and leads. They're fairly cheap so if the Bs get the munchies they can be replaced easily. I can also colour coordinate my Bs well. Chance = Blue; Trouper = red; Benji = Black; Nakura = Pink. :)

    I've a Rogz harness for Tillo (Lycia is wearing it now..). Love it! :)

  • I love my kangaroo leather lead for showing, i lost it a couple of months ago though so Maya is just borrowing one of the pug show leads…!

    For general walking, its whatever i grab off the hooks lol

  • I use the soft slip collars and matching leads from White Pine Outfitters. I've used them for years. Very soft on the hands and great for long haired dogs (if you happen to have one of those). Don't break coat like some nylon collars and color fast.

    I just love Rogz! We use them for all of our cats. They're the only collars they don't try to lose, probably because they their Mom has paid good coin for them and had to order them from thousands of miles away - got the last batch from Australia. Rogz is just not an easily found brand here.

  • I love the braided $8 leashes from Walmart. They come in red/black, royal/black and red/grey-reflector. They are VERY durable, most comfortable for the human( even if the dog is a puller, which BOTH our b's are) and are not easy to chew, but can be IF your son forgets to take them off when he kennels the dogs. :0

  • We have a collection of leashes..my favorite is this one http://www.fourpaws.com/products/nite-brite-reflective-leashes.htm, as it is very soft to hold, and it flexes just a touch when it gets tugged on too hard.
    I also have several of the flexi leads, for when we are in the park or woods..love those..for exploring.

    DmCarty just sent something similar to this awesome collar/lead combo to Moses and it works splendidly for Otis too. http://houndsonthego.com/.

    Of course if you have a leash chewer you can't go wrong with Lupine products, they will replace it regardless of the pieces missing or how badly it looks.

  • Just an FYI Ella's Lead is having a 15% of sale:

    At checkout, punch in code: springfever15 to receive 15% off.
    This is good until April 18, 2010.
    This includes our Collars for Causes, and the best part about that is the rescues still get 10% of the ORIGINAL price of their collar.

    Oh I love Rogz too!!! I got quite a few when I was in Europe. They are hard to find places that sell them here in the states. I love the multi-function leashes, they don't make leashes quite like that here in the states.

  • We have used 6 ft leather leads with braided ends, which were nice. Also have used nylon leads from regular stores, but they are too slippery for me and the handle/loops weren't that big for hubby's hands.
    So now we use Lupine leads that I have bought from vet offices or online. The handle/loops are large and padded and we like the clip end. And the feature we have had to use already that we like best: they're guaranteed even if they're chewed! Just send the leash back (don't even need the receipt) and they send you a new one. They try to even send back one in the same pattern if possible.
    The website also has collars, etc.

    Blaze does it, too, as did Maxx before him. It does tend to freak people out who are not dog savvy or who know nothing about Basenji's because they think he's waiting to attack their dog. We try to reassure the other person that, no, Blaze isn't going to attack their dog…it's just something Basenji's do. Some people aren't convinced, though...we had one person in the RV park where we spend the winter go so far as to pick up his dog everytime they saw us coming. That dog, who started out being friendly, turned into a barking, growling dog everytime we'd walk by. Some people simply shouldn't be allowed to have dogs! ;)

    We use beautiful martingales from the dutch site www.halsbanden.com - maybe she ships to the US…. The leash we use is what is called in Holland a police leash, with fasteners on both sides: http://www.vldsweden.nl/Webwinkel-Product-1824933/Politie-lijn..html?gclid=CKetvYTG8K4CFVEjfAodeyptLQ When I want my 2 B's close, I can use one leash.

    I know what you mean Patty; but I always made sure to do this and it didn't make any difference. It's not every dog I've had that could do this; most can't but once they figure it out the first time they always seem to do it again.

    @Barklessdog: I went to a dog park near me once when our dog was a year old. When I let him off his leash he seemed confused and just walked by my side unleashed the whole time… I agree wholeheartedly. My MIL has a dog park by her house and we took Rocky there once or twice. But he to acted very different. At home (or at friends houses with enclosed yards) he goes Mach-5 and runs/leaps/bounces all over the place. At the dog park, he just trotted off about 15 feet away, checked out the direction of the wind, and trotted right back to me. And there he stayed. We even went at a time when there were fewer dogs, and the dogs there were all ones he knew. Go figure.

    My son uses a foxtail he has on a fishing rod to play with the B's…....a few of them will chase it till the tounges drag on the ground. It's fun to watch them.:)
