JessicaM Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Like the title says, I am looking to buy a show leash for my papillon. I am in South Australia and have tried the Petstock, no luck. I am looking at the leather 'slip lead.' The one with a hole and adjusting piece? Lol my apologies if I sound like a complete fool. I would like to get one ASAP and not have to order it from overseas or anything! Help will be apprecaited! :-) EDITED to find out how much i should be looking at!

Dogsfevr Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 The dog shop at the SACA grounds will have plenty of leads suitable if not then you will need to order elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr_inoz Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) I know you don't want to purchase from overseas - but I love this lady's leads. Very reasonably priced. The most fun I have is choosing colours then waiting for the lead to arrive. Her quality is better than others I have found here and she is pretty fast with getting them done. She can make whatever you need, slip, martingale, standard lead with clip - whatever you want. She braids around a strong nylon core too so the lead is very strong but still very soft. http://hitidekangaro...s/view/welcome/ I think she has an etsy store too, with some nice leads on it at the moment: http://www.etsy.com/...ref=seller_info Edited October 9, 2012 by jr_inoz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I know you prefer not to order from overseas but I order my show leads from the UK. I get rolled leather ones. They come in a big range of colours and pretty much any style you want. I get them here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful designs :) Jessica - will you be at the Toy Dog Club show at SACA on Sunday? I will be there over in the herding area (way over the back) at the herding trial. If you want to pop over, I'll throw some of my leads in the car to show you. PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyntahn Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 You will need a really fine lead for your Papillon. Be careful looking at photos, you need to know the thickness. Thick leads do not look good on toy dogs. I show a Pap and had lots of trouble finding a nice lead. Ended up buying overseas, and more recently from someone in Melbourne.

becks Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 TS why are there trigger hooks on both ends on the lead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamSnag Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Cos there is 2 leads there :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I showed the Lowchen on one of my 3mm lace leads as well. Perfectly fine enough for a Papillon. Although I was braiding one in 2.7mm and that wasn't really that much finer when braided up either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Cos there is 2 leads there :laugh: Well, you must be the only one who puts 2 leads together like that in one photo! or do you do BOGOF?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espinay2 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Not leather but Glamour show leads on Facebook. Lovely and made to your specs. They will have sizes suitable for a toy. These do leather though, but again, overseas : http://www.facebook.com/#!/OriginalShowLeads?fref=ts Edited October 12, 2012 by espinay2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espinay2 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 You are all evil enablers, I'm thinking my dogs are seriously underaccessorised now :laugh: It is MAJORLY addictive LOL! I have everything from classic soft rolled english leather to all sorts of bling and colours. Of course then I just HAD to order a specially designed lead pouch/roll to hold them all :laugh: Pity I can only ever use a few at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I've started making mine again too. I've got a nice supply of kangaroo lace bling leads for both my Stafford and my American Cocker and a couple put aside for my new puppy when it arrives as well.
