2019 Best Dog Gear of the Year
by The Whole Dog Journal
We take dog gear seriously here at Bold Leads. If you’re looking for the best in the industry, you’re in the right place.
Brahma is not like other synthetic leashes you may have tried. This horse-strength material is manufactured mainly for horse tack so we know it’s extremely strong and reliable. If you need a low-maintenance, care-free leash that will hold up to you’re dog’s shenanigans and not get gross or give you rope burn, then BLD’s Brahma Leads are what you’ve been looking for.
- Waterproof, weather-proof, doesn’t stink or get gross
- Snag-free, knot-free, slides through brush
- Feels more like leather and has a much better grip than the competitors’ bio-thang
- Handcrafted to order in our own workshop, made in the USA!
- Lifetime Warranty on materials and workmanship
Choose the width:
*If you are looking for the Brahma XS THIN, LIGHT version for small breeds or puppies click here.
- ½” wide (12.7 mm): Suitable for most dogs and is very sturdy for medium and large breeds
- ¾” wide (19 mm): For large breeds as this is a heavy-duty line (not recommended for dogs under 80 pounds)
Length:
Established lengths include: 4ft, 6ft, 8ft, 10ft, 15ft, 20ft, 33ft, and 50ft.
If you need a length that is not listed: Order the next size up and under other Other Custom Requests select “make it shorter” write in the desired length. (Example: if you want 12 feet, order the 15 ft.)
Handle Styles available:
- Regular Loop Handle (most popular!)
- Regular Loop Handle with a loose O-ring in the handle loop
- End in an O-Ring (no handle loop)
- Bolt Snap on Handle End (no handle loop)
- No Handle (no handle loop or hardware): Great for Tracking leads!
- Open Handle (bolt snap that clips to a fixed O-ring 18″ from the end): Overall length is measured with the handle loop closed.
Other Customization:
- Distance Marker: a smooth marker rivet. Example: you may want a distance marker at 6 feet from the dog end on a 10-foot leash. Perfect for CGC training! (marker fob no longer available)
- Quick-Grab handle: add a second handle loop for convenience. Example: you may want a handle at 3 feet from the dog end to hold your dog close. Quick-Grab Handles are made with the center of the handle grip at the requested measurement. Please note: Due to the length of handle, and hardware, used to form the Quick-Grab Handle, requests made that are 18″ or less from the dog end will be crafted at the dog end.
- Loose Ring with a fob for a slip collar

Hardware:
- STAINLESS STEEL bolt snaps (silver looks great on all colors). These are the highest quality and most reliable leash snaps we've found.
- SOLID BRASS bolt snaps available upon request, however we don't care for the clash with hunter orange. :) NOTE: In rare instances brass may tarnish and rub off on light colored / white dogs
