rope or chain

well yesterday i was out in the garden with shay we have to tie her up because its a comunial garden there are other dogs and cats she was playing fetch i went to pick her rope ball up and turned around to her taking off and the end of the rope left yes she broke it after taking off for a cat just wondered what would be stronger rope or a chain but i want it long enough so she can run about and play

Chain or actually dog outdoor tie up line, if you can't get one long enough by one or two and put them together.

were would you say the best place is to get one of the dog tie up lines she wont be able to break it will she my heart dropped when she ran lol also i cant seen to find anywere that does thick chain as its all very thin looking x

Thats what it is, it has a very strong yet thin metal line running through the red rubber on the outside, you may even be able to pick one up at your local hardward or diy store

chain mate but not cheap stuff

You can get the ones MissRogue is talking about from Pets at Home if I remember correctly.

They have those tie rope things in the range as well if you have one by you.They are about £9 in there.I use them for Cairo when we go to coombe country park near us for a bbq

I would say use the stuff similar to the one suggested, or you can go B&Q and pick up some steel rope with some fixings and make one up yourself. That way, its as long or as short as you want it to be. I cant get a link up at the mo for some reason, but its very strong stuff. Or there is this stuff CLICKY Only 2mm thick and a min breaking load of 225kg that's about the weight of 3 or 4 grown men. Then, just make a loop at each end using a yoke and use some wire rope grips or ferrule crimps to secure. Ok, it doesn't have a plastic or rubber cover, but its stainless steel and used for yacht rigging, so you don't have to worry about rust.

chain, you could probbably find it in any builders merchant type places, wickes's, b&Q ect, but yes id make sure it was a thick one not a thin cheap one.

Chain is no good the rattling drives dogs mad, you want a proper dog line which is plastic coated wire cable

yep you can, my mom got our previous staffys one from there for camping etc, i prefer them as they have a rubber around the chain so its not loud PLUS its less likely to catch the skin and pinch if they was to say, get it wrapped around a leg/foot .. can never be too careful i say! lol
