    The ones I've seen has a nylon leash for the first X amount of feet, but the rest of the line is a string. Hmm..

    The one I use for Kayleigh is nylon leash from end to end. Those ones are generally a little more expensive, but they are more durable. (Kayleigh's is extra expensive as it's built for very large dogs and fully nylon).

    We have one for Payson and I love it. Payson is an "apartment dog" and we don't have a yard for him to be off leash in. There is a large courtyard that is fenced it where we take him to go potty. The retractable leash is great for us because it gives him room to sniff around. It also allows him to get a comfortable distance from us when he needs to potty. However when we take him out to the park or to starbucks we use a regular leash.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!
