Slip Leads

[BrianSteven72 369]

i just use a length of 6mm rope with a handle tied in one end and nothing on the other, slip it through the eye of the collar and when you want to slip the dog just let it go job done and if you loose it so what it never cost anything

I like these english coursing leads if you want to release two dogs fairly..

Anything iv got to hand mainly rope old leads ect, But only use a slip when iam out in company otherwise its walking to heel

Take the lead of dog, put clip on lead to make handle and then put the loop through collar or a piece of nylon spliced both ends

Same as Tiny, I have never seen the need for aslip when working a lurcher - they need to be able to react to a situation, not wait for your reaction time to kick in and then the mechanical device activate. A well trained lurcher will stay close at your side and only go when it is worthwhile - that takes experience, but they can only learn by failing and sometimes getting success. A smart dog learns as much from the misses as the successful runs.

im trying this type as i hate running a dog with a collar on

are them the ones strong stuff ask you to try out for him for free .............whats you take on them as thay still look new a year on

 

Those are quite new, they've been altered and replaced a few times since he got them.

 

Don't know where the "free" came from, the lad has paid his way.

 

I hope I never see another one of those though, they battered my head making them.

 

X38 you'll have a pm in 2 minutes, I just remembered something when I saw your name and slip leads mentioned

It's just like a normal lead, with a loop that goes around the dogs neck, that comes up through a ring that you hold with your fingers, the ring is at the back of the dogs neck though so it shouldn't be able to pull backwards out of the loop.

 

Paul seems to like them, I won't be pushing them though, they fried my brain making them, the size changes depending on the height of the handler and the height and neck size of the dog, one size definitely does not fit all

A length of paracord under the collar does the job, but i personally prefer to use a coursing slip.

i manage just fine with 2 dogs out, using the strong stuff set ups, slip 1 dog or both at a time if needs be, no fuss not to expensive an lasts you a life time, i always put the loop of my slips through my velcro cuff so its always attached to me, an iv never lost 1 yet, touch wood i have seen a wider slip tho that SS has made for somebody so ill probs get a few of them to try soon

I bet you have your mittens threaded through your coat sleeves too!

 

 

 

Not sure about the wider ones?

 

I normally make either 1" or 3/4", but have made some 1.5" ones for a couple of lads with big donkey bull x's

I use the same but altered to fit the dogs everyday collar..

 

 

She's mainly a bushing/ferreting dog and is off following her nose without the slip at night..

These are hard to get hold of nowdays,but there the dogs bollocks when it comes to doubles, i have one of these for sale on ebay item no 180781915371 , i dont think anyone makes these anymore, the catch alone is worth good money even if the leather work is knackered [im interested in buying any of these old ones]

These catches are hard to find now,Johnsons fieldsports used to sell this type of slip lead, could do with someone usfull to start remaking them??would be interested in buying them, the bottom picture the catch has been adjusted, i also have a vintage version of this type of catch on a old knakered lead, used for running the dog with a collar, will put a pic up when i have time later
