CollarDirect Leather Basket Muzzle for Pitbulls, Pink, Adjustable Fit

CollarDirect’s pink leather basket muzzle is a handmade training muzzle for Pitbulls and Staffordshire Terriers, with adjustable straps and an open cross-weave design for airflow.

• Genuine leather construction — provides a basket-style muzzle for training and walks.
• Adjustable straps — let you secure the muzzle around your dog’s snout.
• Open cross-weave design — allows airflow around the snout.
• Made for Pitbulls and Staffordshire Terriers — also suits other breeds with a similar snout shape.
• Polished hardware and pink finish — give the muzzle its specified colour and metal detailing.

This muzzle is intended for situations where you want to limit a dog’s access to unwanted food or treats, such as during walks, and to help prevent biting or barking. Measure your dog’s snout before choosing a fit: the sizing details give two different circumference figures, so compare your measurements with both figures below.

How do I measure my dog for this muzzle?

Measure snout circumference and length before selecting this muzzle. The description gives circumference A as 12 inches (31 cm), while the sizing note gives A as 13 inches; both give snout length B as 4 inches (9 cm). The differing circumference figures are important to account for when assessing fit.

• For circumference, measure around the snout about ½ inch below the eyes on small dogs and short-snouted dogs.
• For large dogs, take the circumference measurement about 1 inch below the eyes.
• For length, measure from the inside corner of one eye to the tip of the nose.

What does the open basket design offer?

The muzzle’s cross-weave basket structure leaves openings around the snout for ventilation. Its adjustable straps are designed to provide a secure, close fit, while the handmade leather construction is described as skin-friendly and soft on fur.

• The basket form is designed to allow air to pass around the dog’s snout.
• Adjust the straps to fit your dog’s measured snout.
• Polished hardware completes the muzzle’s fittings.

Which dogs and situations is this muzzle made for?

It is made for Pitbulls and Staffordshire Terriers, and may also suit other breeds with a similar snout shape. Its intended uses include training and walks where limiting access to food or treats is useful, as well as helping keep dogs from biting or barking.

• Choose based on snout measurements, not breed name alone.
• Compare your dog’s circumference with both figures provided: 12 inches (31 cm) and 13 inches.
• Confirm that the 4-inch (9 cm) length is suitable for your dog’s snout.
