About two weeks later, I went to a couple of different pet supply stores looking for a similar leash. Although they were less expense (by about $7.00), I found that the leather appeared significantly thinner than pictured on Amazon, and the stitching was questionable at best. So, I went back to Amazon and ordered Punk Hollow's leash (6' long, 3/4" wide). After I received it several days before the projected delivery date, I found that the online pictures didn't do it justice.
The leash I received is a handsome brown color, and made of substantially thick bridle-like leather. The double-braided leather at the ends is woven tightly together, and the handle fits nicely just above my wrist. It also has a solid brass swivel fastener to clip on the collar (thus, completely eliminating the possibility of inadvertently unclipping it!). Lastly, the brass studs holding the fastener and handle together are more than sufficient and superior to stitching, in my opinion, which gives me the confidence that I can restrain my dog if he lunges at a squirrel, or a cat, or a...
If I had to put this leash on any medium or large breed dog, I wouldn't have to worry about it being strong enough to hold them under any circumstances.
In sum, I cannot be more satisfied with my purchase. And if I ever have to replace this leash, I just hope Punk Hollow is still in business 20 years from now! It's that good.I recently purchased the double braided leather dog leash from punk hollow country kennels as well as one from Dean and Tyler at the same time. I had never purchased any items from either company. Both are leather leashes and 6 ft. long. Both are nice,however comparing the two,I feel that punk hollow's leash is a better quality. The braiding is stronger and the brass clip sturdier. I'll definitly purchase further leashes from this company.I was worried a leather leash would be $50-$60. This one was very reasonable and is of excellent quality!In a word, beautiful! Great quality, well made leather lead. I've got a 90lb. German Shepherd puppy who is strong. This leash is a great training lead and stylish to boot. I highly recommend this product. I'll be buying from Punk Hollow again.I purchased one of these leashes about 25 years ago when I had an Airedale Terrier. At that time, there was NO rivet used at all, which caused the leather end to curl up a little bit. I think the rivet is for asthetics. I used the leash on that dog for 14 years, and then I used it on my next dog; a Kerry Blue Terrier. She's 10 now and the leash is shows no wear at all, but is so nice and soft from the years of use. I can't imagine that I'll ever need to buy another leash, no matter how many dogs I own in the future.
