{"product_id":"rolled-leather-slip-show-lead-5mm","title":"Rolled Leather Slip Show Lead — 5mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eNothing distracts from a well-presented dog in the ring quite like a bulky lead. This 5mm rolled leather slip show lead is hand-finished, whisper-light on the coat, and built with solid brass hardware — the kind of understated kit that lets your dog's outline do the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEvery conformation handler knows the show lead does two jobs at once: control the dog without a hint of fuss, and disappear against the coat so judges see the animal, not the gear. This rolled leather slip lead is built for exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 5mm rolled construction is genuinely round, not folded and stitched flat, so there's no seam to snag fine or long coats and no flat edge digging into your hand mid-stack. It's finished with solid brass rings for that classic show-ring polish, and it slips on and off in seconds — no buckles, no clips, no fumbling at ringside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 120cm stretched length with an adjustable stopper, one lead sizes to fit most breeds from the smaller toy groups through to standard-sized show dogs, so you're not juggling a different lead for every dog in your string. Choose from Black, Brown or Tan to match your dog's coat colour and keep the whole picture clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHand-made rather than mass-produced, this is the kind of lead that earns a permanent spot in the show bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFAQ's\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What does \"5mm rolled\" mean on a leather show lead?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It refers to the leather's thickness (5mm) and how it's constructed — rolled leather is shaped into a smooth, round cord rather than cut flat, so there's no stitched seam or flat edge against the dog's coat or your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What size dog is this lead suited to?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: At 120cm with an adjustable stopper, it fits most breeds from smaller toy and terrier types through to standard-sized show dogs. For giant breeds, a thicker lead is usually recommended for extra strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this lead only for the show ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It's designed and marketed as a show lead, so it's cut for stacking, gaiting, and ring presentation rather than everyday walking. Some handlers do use it for lead training or brief outings, but it's not built for sustained pulling or rough use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I get the right fit with the adjustable stopper?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Slip the lead over your dog's head, then slide the stopper up to sit snugly behind the ears — firm enough to hold position and give you control, loose enough not to choke or restrict breathing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What colour should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Brown tends to complement lighter or golden coats, while Black gives the cleanest, most disappearing look against dark coats.
