Does anyone have information or images of german military or police issue dog leads and collars, please? I've searched like a bastard, but "german", "WWII" and "dog" bring up nothing but pages on erkennungsmarke by daft twats who call them dog tags :roll:

pre war and wartime images, key words to use on the Bundesarchive search engine are Hundeausbildung, Polizeihunden ausbildung etc

From what I can see, the lead seems to be very like the multi-length police training leads:

Looks like a standard lead, here in use with a DDR cocker spaniel :D

I need to get me one of those post-war leads, if only for the scissor fitting on the end :)

Thanks for the link to the Dog Handler site, Cam. Tried to PM you, but it wouldn't let me :?

Thanks, John. I'd already seen those. The clip in the centre is identical on the post-war lead. Eyes will have to be kept open :)

I found that photo. I'm glad you posted this as I'll be looking for some gear for my boys:
