Currently driving a Mazda 3.. but will be looking to get an older Jeep Cherokee when I pay off the Mazda.
And does your mastiff ride in your mazda?Currently driving a Mazda 3.. but will be looking to get an older Jeep Cherokee when I pay off the Mazda.
We have a Suburban and a Toyota Matrix. The Matrix works fine to haul two mastiffs on short trips as long as there are no back seat passengers. We use the Suburban for longer trips. We just took a cross-country trip with our Suburban and an airstream trailer. (Blogged extensively at my website soshiny.net) One dog has no problem jumping up into the back. The other one will put his front paws up, then we help him step on the tailgate and give a big shove. After daily practice for three weeks, he was starting to climb in on his own.
We had one of those tension mounted dog barriers with the sliding bars, but Chewie systematically destroyed it. We had to jerry rig a new barrier out of our Xpen and bungie cords and drug him with benedryl to get home. When a 170 pound dog wants to get through a barrier, not much can stop him. We are looking into car harnesses that we can hook to the cargo rings in the floor.

We have a 70 lbs 4.5 month old corso and he gets hauled around with 2 kids in either a lexus gs300 which he does fine in or a bmw x5
Thanks.That's a nice ride for Buddha! I bought one of those hammock things for the back of my four door sports sedan. Seems to be working well so far.
Thanks.
If you ever need some extra blankets to lay on top of the hammock for rainy days or for something to lay on when going to the park etc, there's a guy on Craigslist (S.F bay area) that sell brand new extra large moving blankets for like $10.00 a piece, that work great for saving the interior from huge paws with claws LOL
