Pet Champion 25 ft Super Dog Tie-Out Cable

I questioned whether I should get the more costly and heavier gauge cable tie-down, but opted for this one, thinking I could return it if it was too wimpy. As it turned out, it was perfectly adequate for my hyper, muscle bound dog. He tried to chew it to free himself, but soon figured out it was a waste of time. Your dog may be more determined and relentlessly work at chewing himself to freedom, but even so, the task should still prove to be a challenge, although not impossible. The weakest link turned out to be the collar, and I solved that with ordering a very reasonably priced heavy-duty leather collar from www.drsfosterandsmith.com.

I use this one for my chihuahua and it works well. since it is out in all weather, I have to replace it about once a year, as it dries out the plastic coating and cracks. it does have one bad habit of becoming 'curly', like a phone cord. I just have to make it a point of making sure it's untangled when I bring the dog in, or it won't reach from the post to the door. We always buy this brand for all our dogs, and we buy all different weight classes. It seems to be the best one, for it's weight and sturdiness. Once the plastic starts to crack tho, you should replace, as the water quickly deteriorates the inner metal strands.
