Over 17 years ago, I began braiding custom kangaroo leads and collars. Assuming braided work is all I would ever do, I named my company…and obviously planned wrong, as I now do MUCH more than kangaroo work. But, how can I change a name that is synonymous with quality and customer service?

Regardless of the braider you decide to purchase from, look through their items. Look at the tightness of the braid, the smoothness of the product. Look at the way they connect the hardware to the lead. Kangaroo is a very strong leather, however, all leads should be round braided through the hardware and then backbraided for attachment. You do not want two strands of leather holding your snap on. If you want beads on your leads, look to see how the beads are secured. If the beads are not secured properly, they will move on the lead over time. All kangaroo products should have internal cores, providing extra strength and helping to prevent stretching. The main thing that I would advise against, is purchasing a lead at a dog show. These are mass produced leads and will not last as long as a custom braided lead.
Small dogs to big dogs…
We fit them all!
