KJK Ropeworks ~ What size of rope
lead will you need?
The length of clip
lead is a personal choice but usually the smaller the dog the longer
the lead. The most popular length of slip lead is 1.5mt (5') in 4, 6, 8
and 10mm and our 12mm 1.2m (4') and 1.7m (5'7") lengths.
The diameter
(thickness) of the rope lead
-
4mm dia. A
popular size for a showing slip lead for most breeds of dog. It's a
perfect unobtrusive lead for the show ring. Our white, natural or black
code 000 slip leads are ideal for this.
-
6mm dia. Ideal
size for the smaller dog, yet strong enough for larger breeds.
-
8mm dia. The
most popular size of rope or braid lead. Strong enough for all breeds
and a nice size to handle. A perfect pocket size lead, whether it's a
clip or slip. These leads are used and recommended by dog trainers and
behaviourist.
-
10mm dia. This
size of lead is for the stronger dog and kind to your hands. Our 10mm
matt slip lead with a leather stop is a popular lead, code 021. Our
code 112 1.2mt (4') is a popular clip lead.
-
12mm dia. For
the larger dog, a good chunky strong rope lead, popular in both slip
and clip lead - codes slips 007, 008 or 022 and 023 with leather stops
and for clips, codes 103, 113.
Our rope leads are made from top quality marine rope and are designed
to last. A good addition to our leads is the choice of having solid
brass fittings.
KJK rope dog leads have been making quality rope
leads in the U.K. for over 35 years.
Our rope leads and
tracking lines are used by police dog handlers.
Do you have a dog
that pulls?
Try our rope slip
halter. It's our basic slip lead that we have been making for years but
have added it to our list after a customer gave us some fantastic
feedback, saying it was now a joy to take her dog for a walk. See our
code 029 which is a 2m slip lead and shows some photos of how to use it
as a slip halter.
