About Gangline Components
All of our sled dog equipment and especially ganglines are designed specifically for hard working dogs who pull a rig ( cart ), sled or scooter. * see images below *.
The lines are designed in such a way that you can mix and match, add or replace sections as required.
All SASS dog lines are made out of extremely strong polyethylene rope and solid brass clips. You can choose from a range of colours too.
Complete ganglines are available ready to hitch up or you can order individual items from the components pages.
The following chart itemises the components needed to make up a complete towline and covers the most common combinations up to 6 dogs, which is the normal size of team entry at British rallies, although some do have classes for up to 8 dogs. In training though any size of team is possible with the right equipment. With our lines you can just keep on adding sections to suit.
Note : If ordering complete ganglines, the karabiner and neckline is not included. They are listed in this chart for completeness.
