That says more about your sense of humour than the intended joke IMO...

You might be a dog owner, but I wouldn't call you a dog-lover if you found that funny...

This place is worse than Pistonheads based on the few threads i have read so far Sad


Oh, and thanks for the warm welcome by the way... Rolling Eyes

Seriously, I think that one of those dog guards will be essential ... and lighten up Another SW. Cool I've been mad for flipping years, absolutely years, over the edge for yonks.

Thanks for the welcome Kaine...

I strongly recommend a full cage whenever you carry a dog in any vehicle for several reasons:

    - In the unfortunate event of an accident even the best behaved and trained dog will probably bite anything that moves if it is seriously injured
    - Even if it doesn't bite you, it will escape through any broken window and probably cause a worse accident involving other cars in the process of getting himself killed running along the motorway in terrified panic
    - Dogs generally travel better in a cage just big enough to lie down in - unlike us, they are not very good at predicting when they are going to slide around in the back and are very likely to be sick (or at least be very uncomfortable)
    - Obviously it will also protect your trim from scratches, bites and dog-snot!
    - A cage enables you to get the dog out safely as it can't leap out into the road as soon as you open the tailgate
    - Finally, it also means you can leave the tailgate glass open with the car single locked, so Fido has some air and no-one can get into your car and steal your valuables (including your dog). Also if you padlock the cage it is a very useful place to leave valuables when the car is parked - can't smash and grab!


There are lots of companies that make standard and bespoke car cages - My favourites are Guardsman, but there is a guy in Norfolk, called Carl Munnings who is a Land Rover technician, but makes cages in his 'spare time': He would have no problem making a cage specifically for your car, and his prices are very reasonable too...

I'll try and find his contact details...

This is sounding very promising Very Happy

I have seen the carnage a bored dog can wreak and dont fancy my interior substituting for a rawhide chew Laughing

Seriously though, a combination of a cage and a dogbag sounds like the way to go.
dog bag for portable familiar safe feeling 'bed' with the security & free air aspects of the cage protecting the open tailgate...sounds like we have a winning combination... Thumbs Up

Here it is... http://www.roodogscagesystems.co.uk/index.html

I know this guy quite well through both my job and my hobby (but no affiliation - he won't know my Username anyway) and I would trust him totally: Also, he can easily measure a RRS at any time at his day job, so you won't need two visits (first for measuring).

I'll start considering dogs (owners) whatever the volume when they learn not to Censored at random where ever children / adults walk or play..... to be on here you need a sense of humour and to walk past my house / park / land you need to clear up after your 'pet'

I am fed up of the minority vote and the suggestion of bias or unreasonable behaviour if your dare to speak your mind....

Working dogs have a value others do not - IMO - the one i am entitled to....

If this offends enough for you to cancel your RRS order then so be it - your loss ....
