That extra 7mm is the whole reason to choose it. Width is what decides how a lead behaves under load: a wider strap spreads the same force across more of your hand, so a Labrador that spots a squirrel registers as a firm pull rather than a burn across the fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also gives the stitching more to hold. Every seam on a lead is a row of thread across the webbing, and a 19mm seam is simply longer than a 12mm one. For a dog that walks well the difference barely shows; for a dog that leans, checks and lunges, it is the difference between a lead that lasts three years and one that lasts one. Both widths are the same metre of length — you are buying strength, not reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e19mm width, which Ancol rate for dogs up to 50kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWider webbing spreads pull across more of the hand than the 12mm does.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonger seams than the narrow version, with more thread carrying the load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCushioned neoprene padded handle on top of that.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1m length, weatherproof poly-weave webbing, satin-finish snap hook.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine washable at 30°C; plastic-free, widely recyclable packaging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs from around 20kg up to 50kg, on Ancol's published guidance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong pullers and dogs that lunge at distractions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabradors, Springers, Staffords, larger Collies and crossbreeds of that build.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandlers who want a lead they can hold hard without it hurting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA light, well-mannered dog under 20kg is better on the Ancol Viva Padded Lead Black 1m x 12mm — less bulk in the hand for no loss of control.
