What to consider with my large breed dog?
// Muzzle for shepherd dog
The German Shepherd is a confident family dog. He is smart, loyal and affectionate. He is very unexcited towards strangers. However, if he thinks he sees a threat, he intervenes.
In any case, the muzzle for a sheepdog must provide enough space for panting for these active dogs. The dog must be able to regulate its body temperature sufficiently on warm days. Depending on the character of the dog, consider a slightly firmer version of the muzzle. Limuzz offers the PRO version here. This has an integrated scuff guard and is more stable overall. For even tougher use, the heavy duty version of the muzzle is a good choice.
// Muzzle for Husky
Husky is a very sporty dog breed. They are very sociable and do not like to be alone. The dogs build a close relationship. However, they often have a hunting instinct that should not be underestimated. A Husky as a family dog is not a problem, however, socialization of the dog is very important.
A muzzle for a husky is not easy to find with the often very wide head shape but still relatively narrow nose. The muzzle must fit snugly to have a secure hold on the muzzle. With the pronounced hunting instinct of some dogs, we recommend the muzzle in a signal color. On the one hand, this allows the dog to be recognized from afar. At the same time it is a signal that the dog is secured and cannot do much wrong.
// Muzzle for greyhounds
Greyhounds are very independent animals in their nature, but tend to like to cuddle a lot. Your mistress/master is the most important caregiver. Greyhounds need their exercise. If they get them enough, greyhounds are super family dogs that are careful with children.
Muzzles for sighthounds have two different tasks to fulfill.
On the one hand, a muzzle is obligatory for a greyhound that is on the dog track or cursing as a hobby. Limuzz muzzles are approved for racing and allow the dog to always breathe enough even in high performance.
In everyday life and especially when playing with other dogs, it helps to protect the dog. Often other dogs get frustrated because the fast greyhound is just too agile for them when playing.
It is important with the greyhound muzzle that the shape of the dog’s nose is taken into account. The long, very narrow nose allows the dog to open its muzzle wide. The depth must be guaranteed. At the same time, the muzzle must not be too wide, otherwise it will not have enough grip on the slender nose.
// Muzzle for Rottweiler
Rottweilers already look formidable and sometimes seem threatening. Basically, however, the “Rotti” has a very friendly nature and is good with children and other dogs. However, he should be used to these from an early age.
A Rottweiler has a strong protective instinct and wants to protect his “human pack”. To avoid incidents here, consistent education of the dog is absolutely necessary.
The muzzle for a Rottweiler here depends very much on its character.
Basically, the massive head shape is an essential feature. The muzzle must fit this well and fit perfectly here. The Rottweiler then quickly gets used to the muzzle and accepts it very well.
We at Limuzz offer custom made muzzles for Rottweiler. The muzzle is made of flexible plastic. If the dog is well socialized, but from time to time gets overconfident in the game, the material of the muzzle will protect him and others from injury.
If the dog has an aggression problem, a metal muzzle should be seriously considered here. Only such can really safely intercept the force that these dogs can develop.

// Muzzle for Great Dane
The Great Dane – big – impressive and maybe a little intimidating. And then Great Danes are actually very cuddly and affectionate. The Great Dane gets along well with other pets and children. As a guard dog, the Great Dane is well suited simply because of its size.
A muzzle for a Great Dane is hard to find given the size of the animals. In addition, the muzzle must accommodate not only the muzzle but also the often lag hanging down lips. The muzzle should be deep enough to allow the Great Dane to pant well and not press on the lips. Given the size of the animals, a slightly sturdier muzzle is recommended.

// Muzzle for Doberman
Doberman is an elegant and intelligent dog. He is brave and always ready to defend his family (his pack). Within his “human” pack, the Doberman is cuddly. With good and consistent education he gets along well with children. It is important that he has from the beginning a reference person who gives him security and shows him where to go.
A muzzle for a Doberman, should be a little more stable. Should his defensive instincts kick in, the muzzle must protect him and the “intruder” in pack. The head shape with the long almost greyhound-like nose should fit very well from the width, and the dog in any case enough space to pant. The shape of the Limuzz, somewhat reminiscent of a pelican, ensures that the muzzle fits snugly and that the dog cannot slip the muzzle off upwards. In front where the muzzle can open the furthest, but there is enough space, and the dog has enough cooling in warm temperatures.
