"exactly as expected"

"The collar & leash were okay, but the bowtie attachment for the collar was too small, so now I need to work on getting it to attach. Bit disappointed...."

Bottom Line

While the leash is liked for its durability and style, the color bleed and one-sided pattern issues are deal-breakers for some. It's a solid choice if these issues are not priorities.
