And you can also use braided leather (I use both, braided plain, braided with beads, and the thin leather from Rick) for show… here is a link to Sal Wuornos, Sonbar Basenjis who makes them.
I really like those with the beads.. have looked at them before.. but first need a puppy ;)

:D that could happen soon, maybe…..... and yes, I like the beads also.. my only comment to people is make sure you know who you are buying from and their quality.... it really does make a difference.
And Sal knows Basenjis since she is a breeder... so she know how to make them hold up to a Basenji

She will probably ship them to Europe.. right? I don't know anyone else who makes these!
And yes… I'm saving money until next week.. If there are girls.. I'm going to spend it all :D :D

Yes she will and sometimes she either goes to Crufts or one of the other big shows over there, don't know what her plans are for this year.

Sal made the 36" lead I referred to. It's beaded and I love it, I can post a picture if interested. I think half the basenji people around here have one of her leads :rolleyes:. We're having them as prizes for the July BCOSW specialty. She'll make them by the inch so you can get whatever size you want. You have to either supply the chain you want to use or she'll charge you for one she provides. It should be pretty inexpensive to ship, it would just go in a small padded envelope.

Pat, do you know if she is planning to 'do' Crufts so I can look out for her. I'd love to get some of the beaded leads but have never seen them over here. The 'flashy' ones sold over here are not usually very good quality.
-
Very nice…I have actually already looked at hers, but didn't know what to go with..so many choices...You guys are the best, thank you so much for all your help, info and support..:)

Here is my ".02"…. they really are not that expensive... especially if you just get one without the beads.... I would be one of each, work with them and see that "feels" the best when you are working with them... not like you can't change back and forth.....

I don't, but you can email her and find out.. I have not heard her say that she was doing Crufts this year.
I can attest that her's are of the best quality… if that helps

Pat these leads by Sal are beautiful…
So if anyone does hear that she is going to Crufts, I would be VERY interested in knowing, please... I dont have her email address, and as it sounds like a few people might be contacting her about Crufts, I'd rather not hassle her too :)...

Sal has sent me some details but she won't be at Crufts. She is going to check with Sally if any body is coming over. I haven't yet emailed her back but perhaps if somebody is coming here you could order as well.
-
After the recommendations for Sally's braided beaded leads I have now placed an order with her for a black lead with brindle beads on it as a homage to my dear Otis…can't wait to get it..will take pictures once I do. Thanks for your help guys.

Just wondering if some of you who show red/white B's could take a pic of your Sal leads, and if its not too much to ask, even a pic of them on the dog, please ??? :D…
I find the biggest problem is trying to buy a lead that will blend into the red coat. I dont like dark leads on the reds, I want the lead to be 'invisible' and Im having a HUGE problem finding what I want. Currently showing them all on a white paracord lead, with a bit of bling, but they are ruined so quickly by your dirty food encrusted hands, they now all look grey :(...

Ok just going to finish catching up on all the Basenji threads, then Im off to email Sal :)…
For those that show red/whites, with Sal's leads, what colour do you use to show the dogs in, out of Sal's leather choices ???
-
Saba, I got it in black to stand out against Pippin's colors and also to make the brindle gold/black beads stand out more..as I am wanting them on there for Otis..(silly maybe)..but she had a almost like congac color that seems like it would be nice, I'd think. I know a few people has her leads, they should be able to help out better than me.
-
Finally received Pippin's show lead from Sal Wuornos…..I must say I love it...she does an amazing job. The lead is 36" braided black leather, I chose two brindle beads, for Otis...and one silver paw print bead. The chain is braided onto the lead which makes it much slimmer, no bulky clip. Thanks Tanza and Nemo for letting me know about her leads.

Very nice. I'm sure you'll be happy with it for a long time. I have another kangaroo lead and it stretched out a couple of inches after use for a short while. The one I have from Sal hasn't changed at all so far. It's currently on a hiatus until I get my next pup. Although, I'll probably get that pup its own lead too, lol.
