Oh my gosh they are so lovely!

You going for the 101 dalmations

[ontheroadagain]

They are incredibly cute!!! Who could resist? Do you really have 15 Dalmations? Or do you just have visiting rights?

I love the fact that we are working out how many dogs you can get in a Clubman! I may have to try this with my dog and my friend's Bernese and her Spanieln with a couple of collies thrown in (well not literally thrown in - that would be cruel! )

The boot space protector came from a dealer (Woodmans) - best thing I bought (so far)

Let me know how they fit. Mine are probably medium sized for Shepherds. The largest is probably the size of Gemini's Lou (beautiful dogs by the way!).

We only have one at the moment but looking at getting a female companion for him. He has visiting rights to the rest of his family 14 brothers and sisters, mum and dad

Sqeek, he's a beauty and I'm so glad he has visiting rights. Do you have a Clubman now and if so or if not - what color are you thinking of?

Sue, somehow I missed your handsome shepherds Lou and Bandit - wonderful that you rescued Lou!

Yes, we have a lightining blue Clubman S. I will by a cover for the boot and will send pictures of oddie sitting in it when i recive the cover.
We only have pictures of him on his first trip in our old 03 green mini cooper.

Never thought about it before, but the idea of a Clubman JCW is strti ng to appeal now...

Don't get too excited - they won't be available until next March

I have heard that...

[ontheroadagain]

Awwwwww! So cute.

And I'd forgotten about moving the back seat up somewhat. Thanks for the reminder.

Capri - I love that pic. I'd have like your number plate as it is my initials!

The even fit in the back seat!*

*for photo purposes only - she wears a seat belt as I don't want over 10 stone of dog come shooting through the gap if I get hit or have to break hard.

Beautiful Newfie! I've been seriously considering replacing the MCS with an Clubman S, but I am worried about the cargo space for the fur kids - I have two English Mastiffs. My boy is 14 stone, 9 pounds and is 86 cm tall at the withers! So, if I may ask a few questions, how tall is your Newf? And where on earth did you find a seat belt attachment for her? Are you able to have the seats down and still have her strapped in?

Thanks!

Mini Flower:

thanks for the pictures of the Clubbie boot protector. I'm definitely in the market for one to chauffer my Jack Russell and Aussie Cattle Dog around.

How does it adhere to the boot? Velcro? Ties?

thanks for the info.

cheers,
albert

It has suckers that stick to the windows and three each side. There are also some velcro ties to tie around the hooks at the boot. My favourite bit, particularly for keeping Heidi in the back is that the bit at the boot end has a metal pole (in two bits) that fits on to the back where the boot material thing (can't think what it is called) goes in to the ridges. Stops dogs jumping out of the car before you want them.

It also flat packs neatly in to a bag. The instructions are in German but easy to work out.

I still have to work out the strapping in bit as I only normally take her up the road at silly o'clock in the morning to the heath. I will have to measure her but your boy is one big dog (I love English Mastiffs). I'm also considering getting a little ramp so she can walk up it and particularly when she becomes an old girl she won't be able to jump up.

Heidi is practically a toy dog in size to yours! My friend has a newf that is 13 stone so I may have to experiment getting him in to the car with his "brother"!
