Leather Leads
Leather Leads from Sporting Saint are a classic, durable lead option engineered for everyday handling, training and fieldwork. Handmade and hand-stitched from strong, hardwearing leather with quality brass fittings, these leads combine traditional craftsmanship with practical performance you can trust.
Crafted from robust English-tanned leather and finished with attention to detail, these Leather Leads offer a secure feel in the hand and reliable strength over time. They are available in 1.2 m lengths in both 8 mm and 14 mm widths, giving handlers the choice of a slimmer lead for lighter control or a heavier lead for stronger, more assertive handling.
Often chosen for routine training sessions, walks and steady control work, leather leads age well and develop a natural patina with use, combining timeless style with long-lasting performance. Handler guides and experienced trainers often highlight that “a quality leather lead feels secure without being stiff, giving steady control without uncomfortable pull feedback.
