Personally I don't like any of those sort of collars or leads for general work , they get snagged easily in hedges etc and release and they are fiddely in the dark , i use and allways will use a standard collar with a slip made from any thing cheap such as blue rope or baler twine. I have allways run my dogs with collars on aswell and never had a problem with getting hung up on fences and branches etc and from some of the barbed wire marks and scars the collars have had on them from time to time im glad the dogs have worked in them.

Personaly,..I find those slip lead contraptions to be more akin, to items of bondage..

 

They are fiddly diddly wee things, and I have found, that on the rare occasions, when a dog needs to be physically restrained,.such as walking out across the stubble during the day, with several other lurchers on slips,...it is far better, to thread a nice wide comfortable strap through a collar, and take it from there..

 

Easy peasy...

 

The 'quick release' slip leads were all the vogue back in the 1980s..

Every field sports supplier was selling his own variety,..but,..they were never for me,..far too awkward,.more so, after dark..

I have a habit of loosing slip leads so now I just use string style field trial leads for both day and nights.

[jamesmc 582]

I tend to use rope...I'm always dropping leads,if its only a bit of rope its not so bad coz they cost feck all....lol..

[C Hall 552]

IMO you carnt beat a bit of rope threw the collar.

1" webbing...far too costly...and pretentious...

[troter58 1,711]

had one of them for a week lashed it in a hedge back to the blue rope used it for years never lets you down

[look up 406]

I use a leather Slip about a inch wide ..Iv used rope and strings ...and all I end up with is a very Sore hand and rist were the f****r is digging in alnight ..especially if the dog is pulling most of the night ...Rope and string are good as back up slips but not every. Night use...not for me anyhow...

[the big chief 3,099]

had one simler to much fidling around in the dark blue rope for me or a strip of leather with a loop for ya wrist other end under the dogs collar simple as that
