You know where the clasp is, the material sort of folds over, and it has a D loop in there, it is sewn together. Lennox (persons GSD) pulled suddenly and it just came off. The stitch still had its loops, so how it managed to happen I do not know. We were very lucky we were in a park, otherwise the outcome could have been much worse than just a broke lead!!!
I took it back to where I bought it and they said they were going to send it back to their supplier.
It is a very good lead, just be careful of it

Just a thought! My bridle was always breaking in places too and that was leather!

Always used leather headcollars on my lot,(horses)
I do agree with you on the fact nylon wil last longer, but to me it does not give the same grip.
So as long as you are vigalent with the care of leather..i.e the stitching you are OK.
I have found its always the stitching that goes first. specailly on collars (dogs) particularly if they get them wet on every occasion the can.
