Rovers and Doggies,,,

[cedryck]

Who else has this problem?, I have two (large) Staffordshire Terriers, who Love my Series Rover, Love going for a ride to be more exact. One has completely destroyed an interior Deluxe seat set that was not in such good shape anyway, but now is totally torn to bits, they are so heavy and active that the foam just gave up, and is all over the floor. So I gave up, and bought a dog gaurd, one terrier in back, (the seat destroyer) and the older less active top dog in front with me. Ah the joy of terrier ownership, The young one beats me to the garage door Every time I go there, tangling my legs and causing me to trip and fall, I have to let him just sit in the back no matter what I am doing in the garage. My ever faithful companion. They are alot like me, they love the Landrover.

Sounds like you're only a 3-door 109 away from solving your problems.

My dog shakes and cowers when I try to get her in mine. She does not like it at all in back, will tolerate if she's allowed in the passenger seat but she's a bit large for that.

They are a high energy breed. My dog likes to play with them at the dog park because they are wonderful high energy play toys.

Thankfully my dog would never consider chewing upholstery. He loves the Land Rover and traveling. When he sees me loading the Rover for a trip he gets ever so excited and eager to be out on a new camping trip. Thankfully he knows and respects the difference between people's food dishes and his own food dish.

When I drop the tailgate he waits for the "Hup!" command which tells him I'm ready to let him jump in. And when I drop the tail gate for him to exit, he waits for me to look around and decide it is safe before the "OK" command that tells him it is safe to exit the vehicle. And yes my interior is completely safe.

Irish Wolfhounds have spent over a thousand years living in castles and manors amongst royalty. So manners come naturally to them.

But sometimes me thinks I should hide the keys better lest I loose track of my rovers

I have a little Westie, he doesn't like riding in the front of my Rover, but absolutely loves riding in the back.

Our two dogs love riding in cars in general, but they especially love the Rover. As far as the chewing goes, have you looked in to one of the hammocks? They work great for our normal car. This is one of our Bernese enjoying the scenery. 9309

The Scottish Terrier we had liked riding the the Series, but perferred the back of the MG. Our current clump of 7 cats don't like riding in the D2's and loudly complain, but they settle right down when in the wife's 3 door 109, even on trips of 500 miles.

Wonderful to hear other dog owners stories. Yes Terri, the Staffy Terriers are high energy, never stop moving, Unless they are at the food bowl, or sleeping. My younger terrier, actually "chatters" his teeth like the wind up gag toy, when he sees me move twords the 2a, he gets so excited. And another short story, my 2a, is right hand drive, so when I park at the local coffee stop, the Brindle color Terrier is in the drivers side (US cars), and kids often state, "Look mom the dog is driving"! And the destroyed interior of my 2a was the result of them bouncing from front to back, and just the shear mass of their bulbous round bodies, not chewing, I would'nt stand for that!

My landseer has a bit of a time jumping up and into my disco, it's quite a reach for him. Not to mention the middle door on a disco is very tight squeeze at the bottom. He does love riding everywhere though!

What? Am I the only one with a photo of their dog in a Land Rover???

Teriann- love the irish wolfhound, they are great dogs. My only issue with them is that if they're facing you directly it's hard to see them because they're so narrow :)


Back when he was shaved...

My back seat drivers have a platform across the rear seats with the dog bed for comfort. And yes, it's a RHD and when I go through town the third dog seems to be driving. I wonder how many people out there have photos of her?

[frans]

Well, I have pics of my last dog with my Rovers.She was an awesome dog who loved any of the Rovers I have. I think that I got the right descriptions with the right photos but I can't guarantee it!
9314YOu can just make her out in either the 'drivers' seat or the front seat (people have to sit in the back) 9315Here she is getting ready for the parade9316Driving in the desert 9317In the parade the next year 9318 and by the Rover out in the Jacumba mountains east of San Diego. 9319

Sleam...I get the same looks with my RHD. People always have a double take when they see a person sized dog in what should be the driver's seat.

My labs can't wait until my 62' 109 project is done. So in the mean time they'll have to settle for a ride in my Morgan. 9745

Sometimes you have to keep the food dish up high to save it from the little dogs.
