Easily the best dog lead I have ever had. Long enough so you don't walk on your dog. The bolt action on the clip doesn't jam or stick but is always easily operated using one hand, partly because the clip is much longer than clips on cheap leads. The materials are hard wearing and don't pick up dirt easily. Even the padding on the handle loop is very durable. The stitching is accurate and lasts - really good finishing. Only bought this because we lost our previous ones on a trip to the beach (I'm not pointing fingers but it wasn't me...). Had the previous ones for five years and they were as good as new despite walking big dogs an hour-and-a-half every day in beautiful Scottish weather. A Red Dingo lead isn't just for Christmas.
