Soft and elastic plastic. Allows dog to drink water. Always remember: space of an index finger width should be left between muzzle and a dog's nose. Quite versatile muzzle type: works with many breeds like from saluki to cocker spaniel. Sometimes owners attach for example few rounds of coban elastic bandage around the muzzle to protect skin of nose bridge. Lurcher muzzle we're having in two lengths, standard and standard plus. Standard plus is 2,2 cm longer than standard lurcher muzzle.
