ruby16 80 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 i have tried several slip leads over the years with these clips on and believe me they all slip your dog when you dont want them too, they are unreliable, just make one out of webbing, 2" for the collar with 2" d-ring on either end, then 2" for the handle to your own length sewn onto one end with a 1" d-ring sewn on aprox 6" from the collar, then 1" webbing the same length as the handle sewn onto the other collar d-ring, push the i" webbing throught the 1" d-ring put round gogs neck let the dog pull it tight eh presto!!, just let go of the 1" webbing and away she goes, will try and put picture up later, very simple but very effective, and will last for years, atb.

unicornleather 60 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) There's a quick release clip for grey hounds, I have one I made up in to a lurcher quick release set, they are heavier duty than the panic hooks Edited December 7, 2012 by unicornleather Quote Link to post Share on other sites

unicornleather 60 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) No, it's for a greyhound Panic snaps tend to be used on equines and livestock Edited December 7, 2012 by unicornleather Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B.P.R 2,798 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 No, it's for a greyhound Panic snaps tend to be used on equines and livestock How is the metalware designed for greyhounds heavier duty than that made for horses and livestock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unicornleather 60 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Depends on the size of the clip used, these quick release clips used for greyhounds are fairly large, the panic snaps of various sizes can be used on lead ropes to traces on harness. The particular greyhound ones I have are stainless steel, the panic hooks used are diecast and weaker. It's just different manufacturers who make the fittings using different materials that determines the strength of them, not what species they are used on, therefore greyhound clips in this case are heavier duty than the smaller panic hooks.
