The big police muzzle I got is very good, she can breath easily and drink from puddles. She even prefers it to the lighter soft rap around material muzzle. It its very good with a very very strong metal bar at the front. It is all I hoped for with thick leather in the basket. It has that nice leather smell too. The sending back and getting a smaller size was good all my emails were replied too. I would STRONGLY recommend you ask for a size chart before you order the size you need, because there are set sizes, they are not individually made to fit the measurements. They can email the sizes they do. It will save you time and money on return shipping and 2 lots of p&p. I hope this helps. It is worth spending the bit extra for this one because your dog can breath and pant comfortably and it really does the job for everyday use or for man work. I highly recommend.
