Something to carry my dog in???

[AmigoJack]

Ok so I have an Australian Sheppard that basically goes everywhere we do. I am wanting to take him along with us on some of our spyder trips and need something safe and comfortable for him to ride in. I have looked at some custom trailers, but was wondering if there was anything else out there that I may be missing. If my only options is a trailer, what are some of the best brands? Thank You in advance for your help...!

I believe I'd go with something like a sidecar. Personally, I wouldn't want to be cooped up trailing behind a stinky loud exhaust for hours on end. Try it yourself sometime and see how you'd like it. I'm just say'n... think about it.

We had a custom built trailer for our English Setter until she passed at 15 years old. She rode thousands of miles with no problems, the trailer was built by a company that made much larger trailers for hunting clubs and trainers. It was not cheap, but what is your dog worth to you? My wife pulled the dog trailer while I pulled the Pop-up trailer for camping. I would imagine many of the comments to your question are from people who have never had a dog trailer but still need to add their 2 cents worth. Our trailer had windows that could open and also had screens; it had a vent on top; it was made of fiberglass and aluminium with 1 1/2 ridged insulation. I tried to attach a photo but the new system would not let me.

If this is the case, chances are that your source image/attachment is simply too large. Re-size it or scale it down until you can upload it, but remember, if you can still see the word 'Attachment' in your submitted post, you haven't finished the job!! Please go back and 'Insert' your attachment as a thumbnail, as detailed in the sticky linked below!

If you've been trying to add pics/images/attachments without success, then the most likely issues are that you're either not finishing the upload, attach, and insert (as a thumbnail!) process; or your source image/file is simply too large! So for the former, you need to finish the job properly; the latter, either scale it down or re-size it smaller until it will upload.

When you are adding pictures or images to any post you make, regardless of the device or brand of device you may be using, please have the courtesy to all other members/viewers to use the 'Attach...
