Muzzle Training and Tips are the only ones who have a full and accurate size, measurement and weight chart for these muzzles. Most companies use a wildly inaccurate or incomplete chart, which is unfair to customers who should know exactly what they are purchasing.
Make & Material
What your leather muzzle is made of and how well it's made will depend entirely on the brand, style and size you purchase. Some muzzles are cheap leather that will break fast and are harder to clean.
You want to look for genuine leather muzzles or close to in quality. Leather muzzles to be bite/scavenge proof also need a fully covered front to be entirely safe for most dogs.
This picture shows a cheap strapped 'leather' muzzle that is dangerous to use, easy to break etc. The middle muzzle is a medium cost option with good quality leather. The last pic is the same quality leather, but it also has the custom painting.
You can also buy leather muzzles with a metal bar in the front. We do not recommend using these unless for sports/working as they can be pretty different.
