The length is the same 1.07m as the 10mm; the whole difference between them is the diameter of the rope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDropping a thickness to save a couple of pounds is a poor economy on a strong dog, and not mainly because of breaking strain. A thin lead cuts into the hand, so you grip it harder than you meant to and let go later than you should. A thicker rope lies across the palm and gives you something to close a fist around, which is what actually keeps a dog on the pavement. If yours is 30kg or more, or an enthusiastic 25kg, this is the one to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12mm poly-weave webbing, 1.07m long, in a round rope section that fills the hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAncol rate this thickness for dogs up to 50kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReflective weave through the webbing for low light and evening walks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin-finish trigger hook for a collar or harness ring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeatherproof and still light for its thickness; Ancol include swimming in its uses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeather-effect finishing at the handle and the hook end.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong, heavy and large-breed dogs up to 50kg, on Ancol's own guidance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs that pull or lunge, where a thin lead would be uncomfortable to hold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinter walks along lit roads, where headlights do the work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWet, muddy conditions and dogs that swim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore lead than a small or light dog needs — the Ancol Viva Reflective Rope Dog Lead Black 1.07m x 10mm is lighter in the hand for dogs up to 30kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClip the trigger hook to the D-ring of a properly fitted collar or harness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle loop over the wrist, slack gathered in the hand.
