Bluestaff 11 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Excuse my lack of knowlege on running dogs im still learning but im after some info and ideas on how you guys get your dogs about , i dont mean car/van etc i mean in regards to boxes , cages etc ...

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 If I had a van I would whack in a mesh divider out of 2" x 2" Galv sheet mesh and put matching doors on the back so that the back doors can be opened and the dogs are still contained. Probably get 2 dogs in each side depending on van size. I haven't got a van just an estate car and I'm probably gonna downsize to something smaller as the missus hates driving it. Only got one lurcher so don't need a massive motor. Quote Link to post

Bluestaff 11 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I could put her in the back of my van but any hard braking or anything could cause injury , terrier lads use boxes so surely a bigger box would work ? Im tempted to knock one up or buy one any pics guys ? Cheers Quote Link to post
nothernlite 18,089 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Back of the van has done me for years but is a good idea think it's going to be the law soon in case of accidents Quote Link to post

Fat-Ferret 857 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Great wagon Socks... My dogs are free range in the back of the Van, but I need to think about boxing them up because it probably ain't too safe for them or me... Quote Link to post
