On wet weather
Ancol are unusually direct about this and it is the most useful thing on the pack: leather is porous, the natural dye can run if the lead gets wet, and a soaked lead should be air-dried on its own rather than put near heat to speed it up. On a coloured lead that means a properly wet walk can put dye onto a light coat or a pale sleeve. They also recommend treating it with a leather conditioner once a year, which is a small job that nobody remembers. If your walking is mostly rain and rivers, a webbing lead is the more sensible buy and we would rather say so than sell you this one.
Why we chose it
Bridle leather stitched down both sides is a construction that outlasts most dogs, which is the whole argument for spending more on a lead than on a collar. Ancol make it here and sell matching Timberwolf collars, so the pair can be replaced one at a time as they wear. We stock the metre rather than the short one, because a metre is what most people actually walk with.

Size guide & how to measure
Leads are chosen by length and width rather than your pet’s body size. Pick the width to suit your pet’s strength and the length to suit how you walk.
How to measure
- Width: lighter, narrower webbing for small dogs; wider, thicker webbing for strong pullers and larger dogs.
- Standard lead (1.2–1.5 m): everyday pavement walks and training.
- Long line (3–10 m): recall practice and open spaces.
- Short / traffic lead (under 1 m): close control in busy areas.
| Length | Best for |
|---|---|
| Under 1 m | Traffic / close control |
| 1.2–1.5 m | Everyday walks (most popular) |
| 1.8–2 m | Relaxed walks, more freedom |
| 3 m + | Recall training, open spaces |
Always check this product’s Specifications for its exact length and width.

Full description
Leather is the only lead material that improves with use, and the only one that can be spoiled by a puddle. Both halves of that are worth knowing before you spend on one, because the second half is on Ancol's own packaging.
This is 1m long and 1.9cm wide, cut from top-grain European bridle leather and sewn down both sides with industrial nylon bonded thread rather than glued or single-stitched. Ancol make them in the UK with their own workforce and rate this one to a maximum dog weight of 50kg. Matching Timberwolf leather collars are made in the same range, and the lead is supplied on packaging Ancol describe as widely recycled.

On wet weather. Ancol are unusually direct about this and it is the most useful thing on the pack: leather is porous, the natural dye can run if the lead gets wet, and a soaked lead should be air-dried on its own rather than put near heat to speed it up.

Who it's for: owners of a dog up to 50kg who walk on lead every day, want something that will outlast several webbing leads, and do not mind an annual bit of maintenance.
