    I use both and have found out that the chain seems to be the best so far just because with a cable you will have to make repairs to it. The dogs pull so hard that they will end up braking the cable runs pretty quick. The cable runs that I use are heavier duty than the ones you can buy premade. The chain will last a lot longer.

    I use both also they both serve their different purposes. The chain is used for their setups and the cable run for daily activities.

    I like to use chains for my basic set-up, and I use 50' 1400# per sq. ft. plastic-coated cable for dogs preparing for show. I feel that the cable gives the dog more room to stay "loose" during the begining of your keep. However, I believe the idea is to restriced the dogs movent during the final hours of his keep.
    Just my opinion, feedback please.

    rocksteady I'll drink to that..

    fifty those are good points but i think during the whole keep he needs to get as much rest as possible
    needs to be away from the hussle and bussle of the rest the yard
