I just ordered the 20 ft cotton line, but I'm afraid it might not be strong enough for when we get into Schutzhund training?

Full Question:
just ordered the 20 ft cotton line and think it will be great for the my new working GSD pup, but I'm afraid it might not be strong enough for when we get into schutzhund training when he is an adult dog? The people I see at the club have the thicker ones with the bigger snapp but never thought to ask untill I got my order in the mail today. Have you had any problems with these and should I buy a stronger 20 ft line with a strong snap when he get of age or will this hold him? I appreciate any help you can give on this subject.

Thank you,
Jeff

For bitework I’d use a thicker line with a stronger snap, like this one - 15' Cotton Tracking Line. I use the 20 foot cotton line like you have for puppies, and for obedience with adult dogs.

I hope this helps.
