Easy Care & Durable Biothane, Stitched in NZ

A HANDLE-FREE DRAGLINE THAT YOU CAN ATTACH A HANDLE TO

Made in New Zealand from strong and resilient Biothane these draglines are perfect for tracking, nose work or scent detection specialists or for your step between long line and off-lead recall. They offer the best of both worlds by coming with an awesome selection of handles!

These tough draglines have NO HANDLE which prevents the dog from getting trapped or caught on the bush or on equipment when you leave their line dragging, but you can attach your handle of choice when you want to use it as a standard Long Line.

This super strong, non-stretchy and light Dragline won't absorb water or dirt and can just drip dry and only needs a wipe down if it gets dirty on the outside. A solid brass ring and carabiner are stitched to the ends with 277 Heavy Duty Commercial Thread.

These are very lightweight in design, for example our biggest option (10m M/L) weighs in at only 700 grams.

Give your dog extra freedom of movement with these great drag lines. Always to use on a backclip-harness.

Biothane compared to Leather:
Leather is an uncoated surface which absorbs dirt and bacteria and requires regular and daily maintenance.
Biothane is more comfortable to the hand than leather and longer-lasting.

  • 16mm Zinc base carabiner, nickel plated, with swivel snap hook (~200kg breaking strength)
  • Produced locally in Christchurch with the highest quality materials and stitching workmanship

Please note that brass can tarnish in seawater, so good to give it a bit of a rinse after a play at the beach.

If you bought a Dragline without handle in the past and need just the handle, go here.

"GREAT BIT OF KIT - Have been using one of these routinely for nearly 3 years in all weather. There is no sign of wear. Great for use in the wet as doesn't absorb water and easy to grip." - Neil

"INVEST IN A BIOTHANE LONGLINE: NO REGRETS! - We purchased our biothane longline over two years ago, and since then it has been in just about daily use, (on gravel and rural roads, bush and river beds). Investing in the biothane longline was a worthwhile investment for our Staffordshire Bull Terrier. It has definitely stood the test of time, durability and quality, and still looks fantastic." - Janine

Lovely & lightweight

I have been using this everyday so my puppy can run around in the park if she wants to and it is a great line. I did find it very slippery when wet and trying to control a 25kg puppy could be difficult in this circumstance but I wrapped it around my hand and coped :) After the park we go for a walk on the footpath and through busy areas for puppies experience and it is light enough not to be a hindrance.

Glad that you like it. :) The XS/S is recommended for dogs roughly under 20kg, so you'd probabaly have an easier time with the M/L, especially when wet. But it sounds like all in all the Dragline is working well for you and of course the XS/S is more lightweight which can be an advantage. It's great you can use it on the footpath as well as for more freedom in the park. Thanks for the review!

Great quality

Slides really easily through long grass & bushes when the dogs in undergrowth by the stream (ring on the end hasn't caused any issues). Super high quality clip that hasn't choked up with sand. Ticks the two reasons to replace my old line!

Perfect, glad to hear it. Perfect use case for a Dragline without handle over a Long Line with handle. Thanks for sharing! :)

M/L 10m dragline

Perfect for keeping dog close when camping and will be a great training aid. Well-constructed and will handle wear and tear.

Awesome, thank you so much for sharing. It is great quality and should last a lifetime if not chewed, etc. :)

Best drag line we have found!

This is perfect for our 35kg dog who loves exploring and we are still working on his recall. Unlike the other lines we have tried it doesn’t get tangled or knotted, it easy to keep clean and wipe down and is easy to hold. Not a scratch on it after use over rocks and gravel. Really love the removable handle. We use it to tie him onto the caravan and versatile for many uses. And the handle is really soft and comfortable to hold. Thanks.

That's so awesome to hear. Thanks so much for sharing. Glad it's working so well for you! :)

Working great

Ordered the larger lead which was too heavy for us but KiwiCanine were amazing at helping us return and replace with the smaller one, which is working great for my 16-17kg spoodle. Love that the line is rugged, doesn’t absorb water, and is easy to wipe down. Also way less likely to tangle than other leads I’ve used, so nice and easy to manage.

Thanks so much for the review, so glad you like the new Dragline and it's working well for you guys :)
