RE: Innovative Solution Required for Small Dog!

My Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever will just be happy to be coming with me. One of the reasons for getting the Evoque is that the dog can go in the boot rather than an albeit well covered back seat of a BMW convertible.

Arrived: SD4 Prestige Auto Coupe with Lux pack. Ipanema Sand with Black Panoramic Roof
Ambience Interior with Macassa wood.

Now a Jag XFR Kyanite Blue - wow what power.
At home and superb.

RE: Innovative Solution Required for Small Dog!

We have a Wire Fox Terrier and he does occasionally travel up front for my entertainment. But with the RRE there is a lot of door top leather to claw at when looking out of the window so he will be in the boot.

Just make sure there is a bit of movement in the harness and he/she can pop a head over to see proceedings.

Arrived: 4WD SD4 Auto, Prestige, LUX Buckingham Blue w/everything apart from rear screens.
Current/ For Sale: C63 AMG Estate.
Gone: RRS TDV8, F360, Boxster S x3, F328GTS, Caterham etc...

RE: Innovative Solution Required for Small Dog!

we've got a cesky terrier... who stinks, permanently.
he's going in the boot.
will probably invest in a small crate to put him in for the journeys....

either that or we'll buy a cheap 'dog carrier' such as a defender 90 or similar Smile

RE: Innovative Solution Required for Small Dog!

As someone who’s car buying decisions always include the “dog factor” I have a quite a long history of car adaptations for my dogs. My suggestion would be to get the standard LR (or 3rd party) boot separator (grill) that fits between the top of the rear seat and the roof. Then look online and see if you have a car trimmer locally and go and have a word with them and see if they can make you a collapsible false floor for the boot, raising the boot floor high enough so that when your dog is sitting / lying on it they can see out of the window...... think custom shaped short legged collapsible Picnic table....... If designed correctly it could then just fold flat when not in use so you could use almost all the boot space. If you don’t have a good quality trimmer nearby go to a high end car audio shop they should know of someone who could help. Most are likely to have people who build base boxes that blend with car interiors for them. These guys might stuggle with the collapsible element .... but I'm sure would be very happy making you a raised false floor. Good luck

They also make excellent Evoque "sump guards", but be aware they are very addictive and 90's are not great load carriers, but there is tons of room in the back for one terrier - it's a big jump for a small dog to get in and out though. Oh and they are not cheap either - anything less than £6k and you will either get a wreck that has been abused offroad or a basket case needing a new chassis

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Or, as its a dog, you could just put it in the boot?

I really hope this is the post of a female, if not then you Seriously need to man up.

She's a cracker - highly intelligent, very biddable and great fun. 9 years old but still acting as if she was 2!
