Boxster + Dog

[RandallNeighbour]

My golden retriever's been in my boxster three times in the four years I've owned the car.

Every single time, she's scratched the crap out of one or more items. The seat, the door sill plate, the center console, etc.

She goes absolutely everywhere with my wife and I (stores, work, friend's homes, etc.) but only in the Lexus' back seat... not the boxster.

I will say though that when she's sitting up in the seat with the top down and rests her head on the window sill (a trait all Goldens posses), everyone driving by can't take their eyes off her

If I had a smaller dog like Lovebunny, I'd probably take it in the car more often.

Securing a large dog in a car can be done and they make harnesses for your seat to protect the dog and keep it from jumping out:

Unfortunately my dog is probably too stuborn to like being tethered to the seat. If I could get her to put her head out the window I bet she would be a lot more comfortable (she had her face planted against the windshield last time). Btw all your dogs look great, I been thinking that when the time comes I may want to get a labradoodle or a goldendoodle. Have a combo of the big dog/little dog thing thats cute as hell.

Oh, my dog is a Bouvier (des flandres). shes a belgian sheep dog

Jump, did your dog have her tail cut?

Yes, it is common for pointers to have their tails cropped when puppies. Who ever did my dog did it a little short though. I believe it is to prevent picking up burrs when hunting. I don't think I'd want to take your dog to the same places I take mine, beautiful dog but it looks like a Burr magnet!

Lovebunny -

what kind of dog is that? here is our bolognese.

Jump, my dog also had its tail and ears clipped as according to her bread (so she doesn't get nipped at by goats and sheep). And I can sympathize with the burrs, she gets a ton (pic below I took an hour ago, she went rummaging through some plants today), but its a double edged sword, she does real well in the snow thanks to her hair. I would have loved it if I had a chance to try some dog specific sports with her like herding, but oh well. LB, by any chance is your dogs name tinkerbell? Whenever I hear paris hilton and dog in the same sentance I cringe, but I think it would be very fitting for your dog And the only thing my dog does when I go over speed bumps is fall...haha





She loves guarding the stairs...

That lovely creature is NOT ugly, she is just different than a Cocker Spaniel.
