These leashes are exactly like a resco leash except they are very soft! No waxy coating.The satin pad is sewn into the end of the neck loop to protect those dogs with soft trachea. This takes the stress off the dogs tracheae when there is tension
on the lead. The patch is small and unobtrusive--no matting or hiding the hair during the show. It matches the color of the show lead so it blends right in--NO DISTRACTION.
