Double Dog Car crate
Discussion
So i'm getting Simba a little friend next week (a 2year old crossbreed girl from Romania).
In the short term we will be using dog seats and having them sit in the back with the GF in the middle.
But ideally i want to get them a crate for the boot of the X5 - it's big enough so why not use it.
So far my experience is they are all either eye-watering expensive or made out of cheap metal so that it's almost dangerous.
Any recommendations? I've looked at Trans K9, Lintran and couple of others that would make it cheaper to get the 2nd dog a taxi to follow me about in.

Some recommendations here http://www.dogpages.org.uk/forums/index.php?showto... but I think the decent ones generally are expensive.
Can you get a normal run of the mill household dog crate to go in the back and get some kind of separator to partition it up?
I looked at all the options but decided that as mine will spend a significant amount of time in the boot (travelling and also waiting between events when being worked, that I should get something secure.
As expensive as they are, I can highly recommend the Trans K9. In my opinion, the build and material quality is far superior to that of other crates in a similar bracket.

I've stumbled (after a few links on here) onto the agilitynet fleamarket page, where theres a MMG double door crate designed for a focus estate which might fit. Need to crack out the tape measure tonight.
If not, i might got for a "home" crate with a divider and hope no-one drives into the back of me until i can afford one of the bigger gun-dog crates.
i quite like the Lintran ones as they are plastic at the back, but mesh top half to give you better viability.

I have used http://k9cages.com/ previously. Pricey, but excellent quality and really secure. A friend had one and was rear ended and the cage withstood it and pretty much saved the dogs from injury at the least.
We're using a Trav-all guard and divider set-up which seems to be good quality.
