Question - Braided Collars & Leads

[Guest Anonymous]

I was hoping someone here either works as a judge at dogs show, or knows someone who does? If so, my question is...are there size requirements on the braided products that can be used in competitions? I am entering my first show and bought some braided products, but want to be sure I won't get my self disqualified for using the wrong leads, etc. If anyone can help me, please look at the webpage and tell me if these items are competition legal.

There are several people here who are involved in the dog show world. I haven't started showing yet, but I don't see anything wrong with those leads.

Are you talking about breed showing or obedience? I'm not sure about the USA but the UK don't have any restrictions other than to say the dog must be on a suitable lead for its breed and size.

They look fine to me. Mind you, I'm in Canada, but outside of metal chains, almost every lead I can think of in working and herding groups is some sort of thin nylon braid or another.

I've seen some flat leads in in terrier, toy and some spaniels, but they're pretty foreign to me.

I've participated any numerous dog shows and all the braided products on this www.midnightpet.com site are legal for competitions. I know because I've personally ordered from them and used several of the items in shows. Hope this help.

Thanks and God Bless!

Are you meaning for show or obedience competition?? If you are talking about showing it would really help if you told us what breed of dog you've got, if it's for obedience than I think i'ts just what fits your dog.

With dog shows you take in consideration the breed of dog (some breeds are shown in specific leads), the size and the color of the dog, if you have for ex. a black dog you would show it in a black lead (and you shouldn't be wearing black clothes). Mainly what you want to do is to make sure that the lead is in the same color (or as close to it as you can get) as the neck of the dog, and you should prefferably be wearing the excact opposite color, the dog should stand out when you are standing behind it, it should not blend into you if you get my drift...
