darren m Posted May 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 1 lab , 1 springer , 1 collie , i,ve got a cage but its not big enough plus it dont half rattle around , does my head in enough space to carry 2 dogs at a time with a front opening door cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDFrain Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Have you thought about a terrier box design, but made to suit the size of your dogs and your motor, i use this type for my terriers and they dont rattle about and also keep the dogs warmer in the colder weather after working all day. if your interested i can forward you on a number and he will sort you out a price including delivery etc JDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Dont forget to put an escape hatch in the opposite end to the doors so if your unlucky enough to have someone run into the back of you you can still get your dog out also consider ventilation (make sure of a throughflow of air for the few hot days) and use plastic over wood so its easy to clean and it'll last much longer. Have a look on the Lintran and CAB Dog transit sites and just steal their ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
