What's the perfect leash material for your adventure?

I have owned dogs for about 13 years now. And I distinctly remember alway trying to find the perfect accessory!

Now, I have to honour of actually providing premium dog gear.

From my experience, the perfect dog leash is always a different one depending on what you are doing and where you are at. Not only the model and style but also the material used.

As I have started my endeavour into this world working with paracord, I will start to relay my ideas about this first. 

Paracord leashes :

Pro:

• long lasting, long life, very durable
• strength is the biggest caracteristic. The only weak point is the carabiner ( so for strong dogs we recommend Auto-lock carabiner )
• very customizable ( colors, length, model)
• it can and should be machine washed

 

Cons:

• needs to be washed and dried properly. ( ex. Not suitable as a dog collar for all time outside dogs )
• heavier than PPM cord

 

PPM cord

PPM cord came afterwards into our "family" and it revolutionised our view about Loop leashes. 

I recommend PPM cord to anyone that has an adventure dog. Anyone that is active or has a puppy, or is out and about often .

Pros:

• very light-weight, doesn't occupy a lot of space.
• needs less maintenance than paracord
• super strong and versatile
• i love that rings go on knots and can be moved up and down and adjust to everyone's needs. 
• it can and shoot be machine washed

Con:

• can't think of one 😅

 

And the Biothane...

I was introduced to Bio from the horse world. And I have always known it as a Leather replacement.

Pro :

• waterproof
• stink proof
• mud proof

The ultimate swamp monster leash and material !

 

Cons :

• not so light
• not super good for chewers

 

Hexa Biothane 

Not long ago I started taking Hexa Biothane orders, and testing it ourselves as well. We are very impressed by this material and I personally think it has a lot to offer. 

Pro :

• waterproof
• stink proof
• mud proof
• lighter than Biothane 
• more flexible than Biothane 
• better on the hands than Biothane 
• more afordable 

The ultimate swamp monster leash and material !

Cons :

• not as resistant as Biothane  
  • Breaking Strength for standard Bio: 454 kg vs. for Hexa Bio:  250 kg.
• not super good for chewers
• not as many color choices - if that can be a con 

Cotton Rope

Recently we also discovered the perfect urban dog material for leashes - Cotton Rope.

Pro:

• very very soft and easy on the hands
• bio and eco friendly
• comes in lovely colors

Cons:

• can not be left wet - it will mold !
• can not be machine washed
