## Description

American Made Resco Cordo-Hyde Show Leads are used in show rings the world over since 1940. The ideal show lead is like an invisible string-the judge's eyes should be focused on the dog not the lead or the handler. A unique wax-coated cotton material that can be balled up in the hand to hide the lead and it's stiff enough so that the dog will respond to a handler's tug on the lead in the show ring. You will have quick control with our unique Resco brass clip that adjusts the neck size.

Review: Nice lead! - This is a very nice show lead. Looking forward to trying it out on Wednesday in class.
Review: Great show lead width. Wish it were shorter. - Great show lead for my young whippet. The sliding clip allows me to position it behind her ears and it stays there. It’s easy to coil in your hand and the stiffness of the waxy coating helps it stay that way. That said, I wish Resco would make a lead of this width 3/8” but shorter, maybe 48”. This is a lot of lead to manage for a novice handler.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What size can i use for a shih tzu?**
A: We use the thinnest on our Pomeranians, but showed a Great Dane with the same size almost 40 yr. ago. My point is that you should use whatever size that you feel comfortable with in your hand. Dogs respond with any size because they enjoy the security of being attached, if you will, without being “bullied.” Most people don’t understand leash training; but it’s really easy. The key is quick tugs (fraction of a second) and releases on a loose lead. Verbal positive reinforcement works wonders too. Let

**Q: is there a way to soften the cord hyde? Both of my puppies have sensitve necks and it is less comfortable than the satin cord fancy leads which I use a**
A: Yes, CordoHyde is waxed cotton. Some people like to wash them to remove the wax.This will give you a soft lead with the Resco slider to hold it in place.

**Q: What is the strongest strenth it will  withstand? A 40 lbs dog or puppy?**
A: It should hold up. However typically for show, a dog of the size other things are used instead. I use these for Terrier and my small breeds like Lowchen.

**Q: Is this lead strong enough for a large male doberman**
A: It is a soft, waxed cotton-type show lead that I train my puppies on.  I haven't seen people in the Doberman ring using Resco leads - they usually use a chain collar and a leather lead.
