Product Information

Full details

This Ancol Heritage Heavy Chain Lead is designed for owners of large, strong dogs, particularly those prone to chewing or biting their leads. Its primary benefit is enhanced durability and security due to its chrome-plated mild steel chain and welded links. A potential caveat is its weight and stiffness, which might be less comfortable for smaller dogs or handlers accustomed to lighter leads. Key features include a robust chain, a comfortable leather handle, and a secure attachment clip.

FAQs

Is this lead suitable for small dogs?

This is a heavy-duty lead designed for large dogs. Its weight and strength might be excessive and uncomfortable for smaller breeds.

How do I clean the leather handle?

Wipe the leather handle with a slightly damp cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat. You can use a leather conditioner for dog accessories if it becomes stiff.

What is the length of the lead, including the handle and clip?

The total length of the lead, from the end of the handle to the tip of the clip, is 90cm.

Can this lead withstand a dog that pulls strongly?

Yes, the heavy-duty chrome-plated mild steel chain and welded links are designed for strength and are suitable for strong pullers, especially larger breeds.

What maintenance does the chain require?

Wipe the chain with a dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture. Ensure it is fully dried after use to prevent rust. Occasional polishing can maintain its appearance and prevent corrosion.

Are there matching collars available?

Yes, Ancol typically offers matching collars for their Heritage lead range.

Will this lead prevent my dog from chewing through it?

The robust metal chain construction makes it highly resistant to chewing and biting, making it ideal for dogs that are prone to destroying fabric leads.

Troubleshooting

Clip is stiff or difficult to open/close.

Ensure the clip mechanism is free from debris. A small amount of graphite lubricant (pencil lead) can help ease movement. Avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dirt.

Chain appears to be rusting.

Wipe the chain thoroughly with a dry cloth. For light rust spots, a metal polish designed for chrome can be used. Ensure the lead is dried completely after any exposure to moisture.

Leather handle is becoming stiff.

Gently clean the handle with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for dog accessories, following the product's instructions. Avoid over-conditioning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional durability for strong chewers.
  • Secure and comfortable grip with the leather handle.
  • Robust construction provides high security.
  • Reliable for managing large and powerful dogs.

Cons

  • Can be heavy and stiff, especially when new.
  • May be too heavy for smaller dogs.
  • Chain can be noisy during use.
  • Requires regular maintenance to prevent rust.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The lead requires no assembly. Simply attach the clip to your dog's collar or harness. Ensure the clip is securely fastened.

Compatibility: This lead is best suited for large dogs due to its weight and strength. It is compatible with standard D-rings found on most dog collars and harnesses.

Care: To maintain the lead's condition:

  1. Wipe the leather handle with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid direct heat.
  2. Periodically wipe the metal chain with a dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture.
  3. For prolonged storage, ensure the lead is completely dry to prevent rust. A light coat of metal polish can be applied occasionally to the chain to maintain its shine and prevent corrosion.
