I have a Shiba Inu/fox mix that does fit back there but I usually let her sit up front to enjoy the window and I usually let my King Charles Cav lay in the back but he's such a lap dog that hes all over the place when i'm driving. There's so many different types of dog breeds and each has their own tempermant and charateristics its hard to pick the right one, But my Shiba is very independent. We found her in the wild so she does fine being by herself for long periods of time, but at the same time is very affectionate... well when she wants to be lol. O and she's JDM too!
