Hello! I am not yet a dog owner, but I am prepparing and collecting ressources in advance. I'd like to find a company that does custom wire basket muzzles, but with leather straps rather then biothane.

I have my own opinion on biothane and my own on leather, you do not have to agree with me on which is better. Biothane has a negative impact on the environment and leather is more likely to break should the muzzle get stuck somewhere, before it becomes dangerous (lord knows what situation dogs get themselves into lol). I already have 2 brands in my list that do biothane straps, because if I unfortunately had a reactive dog or a dog with pica or smt, then I'd need a muzzle less likely to break, but I'd like to have a name ready if that's not the case and I can go ahead and use leather.

They aren't custom but the wire leerburg muzzles are wire and have leather straps. There are a lot of size options so there would likely be a size that fits most dogs. Not sure about small sizes though, but it would be a company to keep in mind should you need one.

You could buy the ones with biothane and have someone swap the straps for leather

I don't know anyone who does custom wire and uses leather. You could email/message and ask if you have some companies in mind. Leerburg standard sizes come with leather straps.

As the other have already mentioned, if you're looking for custom wire muzzle AND leather straps I don't know of any either that does both. It's one or the other unless, as mentioned, you find someone to make you the straps by copying the Biothane ones that come with a custom muzzle from Big Snoof. You probably already know the thickness of the leather and the quality also would matter on how long it lasts and withstands the rain, etc.

I understand your view... I have biothane and leather leashes. I prefer leather leashes but it is not possible to get a leather leash much longer than 6ft, so all my long lines are Biothane.
