Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 With terriers boxes are a must when travelling, guess if youve got an edgy lurcher itd be well worth getting a box. To be honest you cant beat a van or a pickup.I would love a van or pick up. I think they can attract unwanted attention though. Even just driving to and from permission. Estate cars seem to glide under the radar that bit more. NL I haven't heard that, do you reckon a dog guard would be enough if/when law changes? Had a van for a year never got pulled once bought a focus eatate, had it a week now it's got a marker on it for poaching van was so much better for the dogs but day to day life the estate us miles better There will always be exceptions. I was talking in general. However I do think estate cars are being looked at more now with more "dog lads" owning them. I've drove a fairly new, tidy, silver estate of some description for 7 years now and touch wood I haven't once been pulled up. Might be luck. But I ain't gonna change things. Lol. Quote Link to post

iworkwhippets 13,234 Posted March 15, 2015 Report Share Posted March 15, 2015 Mine go in the boot of an estate car. Just as it comes. No bells or whistles. Although I am gonna invest in a boot liner to stop the carpet stinking and being filthy all the time. Not sure why you would want a box? this any use to you Quote Link to post
