WAUDOG Classic, 122 cm × 25 mm, pink is a genuine leather dog lead from the Ukrainian brand WAUDOG (Collar Company). Its 122 cm length and 25 mm width balance control and freedom, and the brass fittings are built for energetic walks. The pink colour makes it smart and easy to spot. The manufacturer notes that the leather is strong, comfortable in the hand and easy to clean.
Why a leather lead
Genuine leather is softer than nylon: it doesn't cut your palm if your dog lunges, and it only gets nicer to hold over time. A leather lead doesn't slip in the hand even in wet weather and looks smarter than synthetic models. With proper care it lasts for many years. The downsides are that leather is heavier and dislikes constant damp, so synthetic leads are better for swimming and muddy hikes.

Cons

What length you need
A 120–125 cm lead is the most versatile length for the city: your dog walks beside you and stays under control near roads, in crowds and at crossings. Long 3–5 m leads are used for training and park walks, and retractable leads give freedom without losing control. The difference is explained in retractable or standard lead. If you walk two dogs at once, a coupler such as the Ferplast Twin is handy.
What to pair it with
A leather lead goes well with a leather collar from the same range, but it also works with a harness. Clip it to the collar or harness ring and check before each walk that the clip closes firmly. For choosing between a collar and a harness, see how to choose a dog harness or collar, and for fitting one properly, how to put a harness on a dog.
Caring for leather
Wipe the lead with a damp cloth after muddy walks and dry it at room temperature, away from radiators and hairdryers, as heat dries leather out and makes it crack. Every few months, treat it with a leather care product to keep it supple and protect it from moisture. Don't machine-wash or soak the lead. Check the stitching and fittings regularly: if you see tears or cracks, it's time for a new lead.
Choosing a lead by width
The bigger and stronger the dog, the wider the lead should be: it's stronger and more comfortable to hold. A 25 mm width suits medium and large breeds, while 10–15 mm is easier for small dogs. Look at the clip too: it should be solid and reliable but not too heavy for your dog. Brass doesn't rust or snap in the cold, so it's good for year-round walks.
Who it suits
Owners of medium and large dogs who walk in the city and value strong, long-lasting materials. The pink colour will appeal to anyone choosing bright gear. More models are in the dog gear and accessories and dog collars sections.
Verdict
The WAUDOG Classic 122 cm × 25 mm is a strong leather lead with brass fittings, comfortable for city walks with medium and large dogs. The leather is kind to your hands and lasts for years with care. The downsides are that leather dislikes damp and needs looking after, and the lead may be a bit heavy for toy breeds.
