Jenkins Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 What are the Ruthless ones like with salt water. I really like the look of them and am happy to pay for a top quality product, but my dogs spend a lot of time at the beach an in the water. Wouldnt want a fancy new leash or collar to go and fall apart from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leather leads & salt water [or any water for that matter] don't go well together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leather leads & salt water [or any water for that matter] don't go well together exactly, particularly salt water. If I knew in advance I was going to have leather in salt water I would say oil it thoroughly before hand and then clean it afterwards, rinse in fresh water to get the salt off and oil again, but even then it might not look the same, it would probably be darker. Best to use synthetic in the sea. I bought my horse a little plastic bridle for when we went to the beach, I used to call it his bathers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sas Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I like my K9Pro one, it's made by those lovely Armish people and it's extremely soft, had it for years and years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubiton Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 HOrse supply stores? People use leather leads for horses and theyd be similar to a dog lead with the one clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenkins Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks for the response to my questions about the water. Maybe I'll have to stick to synthetic ones for any water runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
