Ancol rate 12mm for dogs up to 20kg — Cockers, Whippets, Terriers, small Collies and most mid-sized crossbreeds. Above that weight the webbing is not the problem so much as the hand: a 12mm strap under 30kg of sudden pull cuts into the fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne metre is a pavement length, not a countryside one. It gives a dog enough room to walk at your side and sniff a kerb without giving it enough to reach the road, which is exactly what you want on a school run or through a town. It is the wrong lead for open ground — for a field or a beach you want two metres or more, or a long line, and this will feel restrictive within minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12mm webbing, which Ancol rate for dogs up to 20kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1m length — close control for pavements, traffic, shops and vet waiting rooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCushioned neoprene padded handle, so the loop does not bite when a dog checks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin-finish snap hook that takes a collar ring or a harness attachment point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoly-weave webbing Ancol describe as lightweight and weatherproof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine washable at 30°C, and supplied in widely recyclable, plastic-free packaging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs up to 20kg, on Ancol's own weight guidance for this width.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePavement walking, town centres, kerbside work and close heelwork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs already walking well on a loose lead.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners who want a light lead that coils into a pocket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot enough width for a strong dog over 20kg — the Ancol Viva Padded Lead Black 1m x 19mm is rated to 50kg.
