It is not a guess or a retailer's estimate — Ancol print the same table on every page in this range: 12mm to 20kg, 19mm to 50kg, 25mm to 75kg. Twenty kilos covers a great many dogs, from a Cocker at 13kg to a mid-sized lurcher or a working Collie at the top end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat the rating is really describing is peak load rather than standing weight. A well-mannered 25kg dog will not break a 12mm lead; a 15kg terrier that hits the end of it hard at the sight of a cat puts more through the stitching than the heavier dog ever does. If your dog lunges, size up rather than down, regardless of what it weighs on the scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncol rate the 12mm width for dogs up to 20kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1m of lead — short enough for genuine close control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCushioned neoprene padded handle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin-finish snap hook for a collar ring or harness point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight, weatherproof poly-weave webbing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashable 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 up to 20kg that walk without lunging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCockers, Terriers, Whippets, small Collies, mid-sized crossbreeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePavement and town walking rather than open ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA second lead to keep in the car or by the back door.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA dog that lunges, or one over 20kg, wants the Ancol Viva Padded Lead Red 1m x 19mm — rated to 50kg on the same Ancol table.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClip on and confirm the gate has closed against the collar ring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoop the padded handle over the wrist; do not wind the lead round your hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWalk with a little slack rather than a taut line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine wash at 30°C, no bleach, no tumble drying, no direct heat, then air dry fully.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1m (100cm) long, 12mm (1.2cm) wide.
