that is not a good leash for a "pit bull" and here's why...

a hard pulling dog can easily break those. Also if he is extended, or his strength extends it you lose control at that point. The size of the snap link is not sufficient for a full grown dog. My pup broke a similiar sized one on a cable run at 5-6 months old. Those are crap.

You can make your own lead that will be durable and effective for 8-10 bucks. Go to a tractor supply store, rural king, home depot, or something similiar then...

-purchase 5/8 nylon rope in whatever length and color you desire.

- purchase a bull snap, and two 5/8s rope clamps.

take it all home and get a hammer. You will then make a small loop around the bull snap at the desired size and hammer the rope clamps closed at that spot. Burn the ends and you have the bottom that will attach to your dogs collar. Then make the desired size loop at that top and repeat the same steps as you did at the bottom. Now you have a strong and durable rope lead and the pride of having done it yourself...you can customize your leads for length, to match your collars, etc.
