FAQs

1. What are the main differences between the Classic, Lite, and Ultra Lite ranges?

The primary differences between the three ranges lie in the width, weight and strength of the lead, as well as the type of clasp available. Here's a quick overview:

Classic: 2cm width, 400kg break strength
Lite: 1.5cm width, 338kg break strength
Ultra Lite: 1cm width, 80kg break strength

2. What types of clasps are available for each range?

Classic: Comes exclusively with an auto-lock carabiner clasp.
Lite: Offers a choice between an auto-lock carabiner clasp or a standard bolt snap clasp.
Ultra Lite: Only available with a smaller, standard bolt snap clasp.

3. Which range is suitable for my dog?

Classic: Ideal for medium to very large dogs due to its wider width and higher break strength.
Lite: Suitable for small, medium & large dogs, providing a good balance between strength and lighter weight.
Ultra Lite: Best suited for very small breeds or small breed puppies, as it offers a much lighter design and a break strength of 80kg.

Each range is designed to meet the specific needs of different dog sizes and walking preferences.

Break strength is a measure of the maximum force or load that a material or product can withstand before it breaks or fails. 

All of our leads have been independantly tested to determine their break strength. The break strength of each lead and width is listed above. For the purpose of explaining how break strength works in reality, I will use our classic range as an example. 

Our classic leads have a break strength of 400kg. This means that in a static situation, it can handle a force of up to 400kg without breaking. 

However, it is essential to understand the difference beween the weight of the dog and the force it can exert. Even though a dog might weigh say, 60kg, the dynamic force it produces when running and stopping suddenly can be much higher. Factors such as the dog's speed, the length of the lead or longline, and how suddenly it stops, all contribute to this force.

Our leads are designed to handle the force exerted by a dog under typical conditions. However, if you were to allow your dog to run at full speed and reach the end of the line suddenly, the actual force on the lead could be significantly higher.

While our leads are robust, it is always a good idea not to let a dog run unchecked to the end of the line to ensure safety. We also recommend using a harness with a longline to reduce the risk of such force being applied to the delicate neck area.
