This thread has been nagging me all day. So many things! I love sales. But Journey needs a rain coat (after we both got drenched on our way to work yesterday) and maybe even a winter coat for going to/from work soon, and she needs boots for the salt, and I wanted to get her a pretty birthday collar, and now I want a proper width biothane leash. Or two. And I have bills to pay haha. Too bad the dogs can't pay for their own things.
Really, what width do you have? I have a 5/8" width biothane for 16lb Jackson and it doesn't seem heavy at all. He could probably pull off 3/4" also, but I think I do prefer 5/8" in biothane (and leather).
Mine is a 3/4" width, but it has a brass clip that is really heavy. I bought it at a dog show like 7 years ago, and I wanted the 5/8" one, but they were sold out. It's definitely too heavy for my 30 and 40lb dogs, and I even hesitate to use it on the Dobes, but I also like a very minimal leash.
Darn it, now I want a 4 ft leash-how long do biothane leads last? Trying to rationalize getting one.
A long time. I don't see why one wouldn't. I've used my long line for 7 (or even 8 maybe) years now very regularly and it's held up super well. Just as well as any of my leather leashes. Honestly, if I'd bought the right width when I bought my 6ft biothane leash it'd probably be my go-to even before my leather ones, and it seems incredibly durable.
What's everyone's favorite leash width? 1" is too wide for my hands. I don't know which one to get!
I generally like a 1/2" width. 5/8" at most. Anything wider than that and I find them really bulky and uncomfortable.
