Welcome to the Terrapin Craftworks Handcrafted Braided Kangaroo Leather Show Leads and Collars website.

These custom made leads can be used for Conformation, Obedience or Agility. The design possibilities are endless... you can choose your own custom colours, length and beads.

These leads are made with strong, kangaroo lacing with a 150lb test core line in the middle of the lead to prevent stretching and increase strength. Kangaroo leather is much stronger than cow skin, it becomes buttery soft with use without compromising it's strength. We have used our custom braided leashes with our 90+lb male malamutes without any problems at all. 

We also now have leads and collars designed for toy breeds with a flat braided centre piece for comfort.

Terrapin Craftworks was established in 2007, in just over two years we have now made 400+ braided kangaroo leads. We are located in London, Ontario, Canada. We have been breeding champion Alaskan Malamutes since 1990 and have recently added a couple of Salukis to our household.

Originality is priceless.....

Announcing ....we have added two new items to our line of products. We are now hand making latigo leads. Prices are VERY reasonable ranging from $8 - $21.50. These leads come in two thicknesses, 1/2" for the show ring: conformation or obedience and we also make them in 3/8" for walking leads. We can custom make the lead to any width or length.

We are also now making custom cool coats, they are now available in 6 different colours. Prices ranging from $25 to $65. Click here for additional information.
