Some handlers want the security of a clip, not a slip and this lead's built exactly for them. Handmade in genuine 5mm rolled leather with a solid brass trigger clip, it clips onto your dog's show collar for confident, no-slip control in the ring, without sacrificing that clean, disappears-against-the-coat look judges want to see.

A rolled leather show lead does one job brilliantly: keep your hands full of control and empty of bulk. This one takes that a step further with a solid brass trigger clip instead of the usual slip loop, so it fastens securely to your dog's own show collar, no tightening around the neck, no readjusting mid-stack.

The 5mm rolled construction is genuinely round rather than folded and stitched flat, so there's no seam to catch on fine or long coats and no flat edge digging into your palm through a long class. It's handmade, not mass-produced, and finished to the same standard as our rolled slip leads.

Two lengths - 90cm and 110cm, mean you can pick the drop that suits your handling style and the dog's size, from a shorter, tighter hold for close gaiting to a longer, more relaxed length for bigger breeds or a looser stack. Choose from Black or Brown to sit cleanly against your dog's coat colour.

If you already run a separate show collar and want a lead that clips on rather than slips over the head, this is the one to reach for.

FAQ's

Q: What's the difference between this and a rolled slip lead?
A: This lead has a solid brass trigger clip that fastens to your dog's own show collar, rather than a loop that slips over the head. It's the pick for handlers who already run a separate collar and want a secure clip-on connection instead.

Q: What length should I choose?
A: 90cm suits close, tight handling and smaller dogs; 110cm is a versatile middle length for bigger breeds or a looser, more relaxed stack. If you're unsure, 110cm is the safest all-round choice.

Q: Does this lead come with a collar?
A: No — this is a lead only, designed to clip onto a show collar you already have via its solid brass trigger clip.

Q: Is 5mm rolled leather strong enough for bigger dogs?
A: Yes for general ring handling and gaiting across most breeds, though it's built for show control rather than sustained pulling — it's not a substitute for a heavy-duty walking lead on giant or very strong breeds.

Q: What colour should I pick?
A: Brown tends to complement lighter or golden coats, while Black gives the cleanest look against dark coats. Many handlers keep more than one on hand.

Q: How do I care for a rolled leather lead?
A: Wipe it down after use, keep it away from prolonged damp, and store it flat or hung rather than balled up. It'll soften and darken slightly with handling over time — that's normal.
