"Veronica" Show Lead
The Details:
Perfectly pink in every way. The "Veronica" is made from rich cherise leathers with a delicate touch of custom ballet pink shimmer leathers. This lead features one stunning singular bead set with a one-of-a-kind hand crafted glass bead made by one of my favourite Ukrainian glass artists, Olia Oleksiichuk, accompanied by silver and crystal spacer beads, and is finished with two hand tied turkshead knots.
I take care to inspect every inch of every strand of leather to ensure there are no splices that would weaken your end product. From there each strand is split and beveled (which helps get a smooth, even braid) before being stretched and conditioned. Once the leather is prepared it is tightly braided around a 300lb Dacron test core. Once the braiding is finished my leads are rolled and conditioned again for a soft, smooth lead that only gets better with use!
The Dimensions:
- Lead measures 36" from end to end
- 4" Handle
- Collar Loop end is ~1.25" long
- Single bead cluster sits 10.5" from collar loop
Photos are taken indoors under UV lighting. Colours may not be exactly as they appear in real life due to variances in monitors and lighting. If you would like additional photographs in natural lighting please contact me.
Show leads are not intended for day to day use (i.e. walking). Over-conditioning of your lead will result in foils rubbing off quickly. Show leads last best when they are used on fairly well trained dogs.
