Rudder proof!

This is one of the very first products the Atlantic Rancher Company ever made, back in 1995. It came about from sheer necessity: keeping the company’s young chocolate lab, Rudder, under control during civilized occasions. We had tried one of those fancy, spring-loaded retractable leads. Now I know dogs don’t speak English, but the look on Rudder’s face said it all: you’re embarrassing me!

Off we went in search of a manly dog’s-dog lead. And guess what we found after checking out several of those pet superstores? N-o-t-h-i-n’...except little wimpy leashes that are just begging to be chewed through. So, we built our own, in the garage. Made from ⅜” double-braid nylon rope, molded aeronautic-grade composite nylon connectors held together with brass screws and a stainless steel trigger snap at the tag end. Heel, Rudder...heel!

Story

Batten down the galley boys, the ship’s about to roll!

We were on the hunt for an American manufacturer, by that we mean a “genuine manufacturer” one that owns the process, from clay to the galley...not an “importer and marketer of goods” from far away places. We found what we were after in W. Virginia. The Homer Laughlin Company, a family-run, multi-generational family employer that’s been at their craft since 1871 and is today, the last standing American pottery. Our man at the helm was Bill Pickin, himself a 30 yr. veteran at HLC. With Bill's guidance, we built from scratch a darn nice replica of the authentic US Navy coffee cup, which the Navy commissioned in the 1940’s to withstand a ship’s roll in the open oceans. Thus the thick-walled body and girthy profile.

The process starts with what Bill calls “the batter” a concoction of clay, fleldspar, alpha alumina and a few secret ingredients. Each piece is jiggered. The handles are cast and attached by hand, our inscriptions are hand placed in the assigned location, and into the fire they go. After a 12 hour cycle in the kiln, they are ready for inspection...one that rivals that of the US NAvy Sailor’s Uniform Inspection. Mission readiness?...yup, we’re sure of it.

Comments: Have had a great experience with Atlantic Rancher. Great products and very personal interaction.
Easton is a Proud Pup

Our 9 week old lab is strutting through town dressed only in his lead. Looks great, is fully functional, and our 11 and 4 year girls love taking it on and off their dog!

A True Time-tested Original

As an industry leader among the most functionally-fit and design-detailed, Atlantic Rancher products not only wear their soul on their sleeves but lead and deliver proven rugged quality like the good knot described in their motto.

Their Original Rope Dog Lead is “original” for two reasons: Its a true first for the company and is so well constructed as to be deemed worthy of being considered the first original dog lead ever invented.

And like anything done right the first time, Atlantic Rancher’s Lead is incomparable, standing alone amongst the pack.

Best Dog Lead Ever

Believe me........this IS the best dog lead I have ever had. I have two very large Scottish Deerhounds who need a strong lead. This does the trick. The craftsmanship is amazing. My only wish is that there was a matching collar.

Best leash I've found - super well made!

I bought this as soon as I saw it on the AR website! The quality is seriously unparalleled to anything else I've found on the market. It's lightweight but could hold a seriously strong and large dog. Really comfortable in the hand as well! Really excited to have this leash for a long time.
