Re: Show lead - What colour?

I use a hide and collars kangaroo leather lead for Maya who is tri. It is black and dark brown plaited

Here's the best pic I have of it:



If not leather, then a white fabric lead would be my second choice

Re: Show lead - What colour?

You could try and match it to the coat colour where the collar would be. If he's white there then a while lead, if he's black there then a black lead.

You could even go for something totally different, I know many gold lhasa's that are shown with a black nylon lead, it doesn't stop them doing well. I tried to match the colours as best I could but the leather leads got darker with age and now are nothing like the dogs.

Re: Show lead - What colour?

always found if the dog is of quality don't matter what colour the lead is x as said earlier lead colour is down to personal preference.

Re: Show lead - What colour?

I use mostly leather leads for my dogs but it is definitely personal preference. I would go with what you like best and you think your dog goes best in.

I asked someone once what colour was best to show a red fawn italian greyhound and they told me a red lead. I think he looks awful in red but looks smart with a black lead. Were as the unregistered italian who is blue and white looks really smart in a red lead.

you'll see plenty of stalls at Crufts,also have have a look at what the other sheltie peeps use. I prefer a small linked choke chain with a green lead for Dexter, others prefer half checked, some use leather slips
