Anyone taken a dog in their 7
Hi guys,
It's been my dream to build a 7 for as long as I care to rememeber but never had anywhere to build one. So when SWMBO suggested we buy a house
together, my only stipulation was it had to have a garage. Thing is we've moved in now and Im slowly saving to buy an Indy kit, but now
we've got a puppy. So My dream of going down my parents caravan in a little open kitcar are kind of dashed. We took the puppy down there this
weekend in the gf's Fiesta, and she slept all the way on the gf's lap and didn't move a muscle, but something tells me she
wouldn't do it in a 7. She's not going to be very big (Patterdale Jack Russel Cross) so being on a lap isn't a problem. Has anyone
taken their dog in their 7. I was thinking a dog harness, which clips onto a seatbelt, not unlike the ones for young babies on planes. Oh and a set of
doggles (goggles for dogs).
Hope I can do something, or my 7 experience may be a miserable and lonely one.
Regards
Gareth

My cocker spanial sits there looking regal, my retriever wanted to get out the second I started the engine so never went any further.
All depends on the dog, the retriever is the more placid and controlled so should have been happy, the cocker by nature is stupid and mad as a box of
frogs but liked the experience.

I think these look good - don't think my mutt would put up with them though.

My Jack Russel loves to go for a ride but last year when on a quick right hander she shot out , fortunately she was tethered to the seat mountings and
her head was just visable , so a quick grab and she was soon back on board and with no injuries thankfully , my other dog the Irish Setter wont go
near the car when i start it, just sits inside the house looking, i would need a good harness to keep him in though as he is far too active.
A good reason to run with doors on as on that occasion i only had the wind deflectors on, so a lesson learnt , no doors on no dogs inside rule now.
On second thoughts she likes canoe rides and is always jumping over the side and towing me along , so that may well have given her the idea of
bailing out as she is fearless.

Once had a paruchute instructor that took his Jack Russel skydiving in his jump suit . My Doberman would go everywhere with me in my Mini pick up and
my old G/S would travel in my Midget quite often

My old German Shepherd used to ride in my frog eye Sprite, head over the windshield in the day light, head out the side like a railway engineer at
night.
When we got him he had been a RCAF mascot, never been in a car except to go to the vet, one ride in the Sprite, couldn't get him out of it,
even started leaning before the corners.

my hounds ride in cab of my JCB on blankets sitting on top of the rear wheel arches. You just need to get them use to it at a young age, food is also
a good bribe 
Fame is when your old car is plastered all over the internet

Oh good so there is hope then. Shes brill in the car, just lies there sleeping, so maybe she will just lie on the floor. I think when I build it
she'll have to 'help' so she can get used to it.
Thanks for the replies
