Let's See Your Dogs!!

Hi...
I'm Chloe. I'm a 2 year old female "field Lab", and still at kennel getting my retriever training. I'm a retrieving machine and work the birds well. Duck, Pheasant, Quail, Dove. Excellent nose and soft mouth...
Oh...I'm rocket fast...still need to work on my steady at the line, and my "Blind" retrieve.
But, there will be blue ribbons pinned to my kennel someday soon!!!

 

SO many adorable and awesome puppies!! Question for you all - Those of you who transport puppy via the bed instead of the cab, what have you been doing to keep them safe and comfortable for the ride?

I don't want to get a topper, so currently I've used his crate secured into the bed with a BBQ cover over top to keep the snow and rain off with a window cut into it. Anyone use any other methods and have you gone for long drives on the highway with your dogs back there?

So far we've only driven to our local hiking trail, which is about a 20 minute drive with top driven speeds of only 65km/h.

Yep. That's my GSP, to a tee. I guess they just figure it's the best spot if you had it.

 

Here is my new pup. She is a good girl. Also got a mad boy too.

 

Awesome! Thanks for those links!
The first setup is what I'm pretty much rocking now and you've done exactly what I've been thinking

Whats the longest travel you'll done with pup in the back?

 

Nice

My shep just passed away.

 

Awesome looking Shepard!!

 

Sorry to hear that. Hope another one finds its way into your home

 

Growing up my family had a variety of dogs from Dachshunds, to mutts, to Rottweilers. This guy is my first Shepherd and I will definitely get another one after he's gone (hopefully not for many more years). I rescued him as a puppy from basically a white trash junk house at 6 weeks old which is way too young but I couldn't leave him there. I had him fully house broken at 8 - 9 weeks of age. Smartest dog I've ever had.

 

I have had Shepherds for over 45 years in my life. Never has my home been broken into, and they will protect you with their very own life. Train them, love them, best dog ever.

 

Greta was 14.6 years old, Duke is 12 weeks.

 

Great pic!

 

Never!!!!

Sorry for your loss

 

I had to put her to sleep 3 days after this pic, her heart was giving out. She sleeps in an urn now in the living room. Dog was a trooper all the way to the end. Middle of the night she came to my bed side and told me it was time and it was ok. Still tugs at me everyday. Thanks for listening.

 

I specifically bought a cap for the truck for my dog I wouldn't let him ride in the box any other way. No cap = in cab

Just my 2 cents.

 

That just made me tear up...

It's rough. All of our dogs over the years are in different urns on the bookshelf. They were all different in their own way and each has its own place. They will never be forgotten and as much as it sucks when they pass, I couldn't imagine living in a household without a dog or a cat around. My wife and I currently have my shepherd, 2 pitbulls and 4 cats in the house. It would be eerily quiet without them.

 

Does your shep talk?

 

All the time hahahah..........drives my wife batshit crazy hahaha
