The Muzzle Movement Harry 2.0 - Enhanced Mid-Size Brachycephalic Muzzle

The Harry 2.0 represents The Muzzle Movement's refined mid-size option within their Short & Wide Fit collection, designed specifically for medium to large dogs with broad skull structures and compressed facial anatomy. This second-generation design incorporates eight significant improvements based on user feedback and ergonomic analysis, delivering enhanced comfort without compromising the secure fit that made the original Harry a popular choice.

Design Category and Fit Profile

The Harry 2.0 occupies the middle position in The Muzzle Movement's brachycephalic muzzle range, providing more internal capacity than the smaller Pippa while maintaining the short-snout geometry that distinguishes these muzzles from traditional long-nosed designs. This sizing targets dogs with distinctive broad head proportions combined with relatively short muzzle length - a facial structure common in several popular breeds but requiring specialized muzzle engineering for proper fit.

Internal Dimensions: The Harry 2.0 maintains the same internal width measurements as the original Harry design, ensuring that dogs who were properly fitted with the first-generation model will experience consistent fit with the updated version. Existing Harry users can upgrade to the 2.0 design with confidence that core fit dimensions remain unchanged.

Second-Generation Design Improvements

The Muzzle Movement incorporated extensive refinements in the Harry 2.0 based on field experience and handler feedback:

Enhanced Undershot Accommodation: The basket area below the treat opening now features an outward bow, creating additional clearance for dogs whose lower jaw extends slightly forward of the upper jaw - a common anatomical feature in brachycephalic breeds. This modification prevents uncomfortable contact between the basket and the dog's chin structure.

Reduced Weight Construction: Internal basket bars have been redesigned with a slimmer profile, reducing overall muzzle weight without compromising structural integrity. This weight reduction is particularly noticeable during extended wear periods.

Optimized Contact Surfaces: All edges that interface with your dog's cheeks have been smoothed and refined to eliminate any sharp transitions or harsh contact points. Similarly, every internal edge has been polished to prevent any uncomfortable rubbing during jaw movement.

Expanded Cheek Clearance: The Muzzle Movement removed the inward curve (the "tick") that appeared at the top inner corner of the cheek area in the original Harry. This modification provides more lateral space, accommodating dogs with particularly full cheek development.

Improved Neck Mobility: The corners of the basket near where it meets the neck strap attachment have been redesigned to reduce interference with natural head turning and lowering movements. This enhancement is especially noticeable when dogs lower their heads to sniff or during eating/drinking activities.

Streamlined Internal Bars: Beyond just slimming for weight reduction, the internal bar structure has been refined to reduce visual bulk and create a more open feel inside the basket while maintaining the necessary strength for safety.

Redesigned Head Strap Integration: The optional head strap attachment system has been re-engineered to prevent the attachment point from creating downward pressure on the noseband, which could push the noseband uncomfortably onto the bridge of the dog's nose. The new fastening method maintains proper strap positioning without this compression effect.

Refined Thickness Distribution: The overall basket features more sophisticated thickness distribution, placing material where structural demands require it while minimizing bulk in areas where lighter construction suffices.

Typical Breed Applications

Critical Sizing Note: Breed-based sizing is inherently imprecise due to significant variation within breed populations. Individual dogs of the same breed can have markedly different head shapes requiring different muzzle sizes. Always prioritize actual measurements over breed guidelines. However, for general orientation, the Harry 2.0 commonly accommodates:

• Smaller American XL Bully types (larger specimens may require the Mitzy size)
• Large-framed Staffordshire Bull Terriers
• Rottweilers with broader head structure
• Large Chow Chows
• Large Shar Peis with substantial head mass
• Large Bernese Mountain Dogs (those with shorter muzzle length relative to breed standard)
• Akitas with particularly wide skull development

This list provides directional guidance only - proper fit must be verified through measurement rather than breed identification.

Current Configuration Options

Basket Colors: The Harry 2.0 basket is available in multiple color options, allowing you to select a finish that matches your preferences or coordinates with other equipment.

Strapping Color: Currently, all Harry 2.0 muzzles are supplied with black Biothane strapping regardless of basket color selection. This provides a professional, coordinated appearance across all muzzle configurations.

Standard Components: Each Harry 2.0 includes an integrated noseband and adjustable neck strap with secure buckle closure, providing a complete, ready-to-use muzzle system.

Ensuring Proper Fit

The Harry 2.0's mid-size positioning means it may be appropriate for your dog, or you might need to size up to the Mitzy or down to the Taz/Sunny depending on specific head dimensions. The Muzzle Movement provides detailed measuring instructions to help you determine which size within the Short & Wide Fit collection best matches your dog's anatomy.
