Dog in trunk? need dog lovers advice

For short trips, there should be enough room for all but the largest dog to lay down in the hatch area but I wouldn't want to keep a big dog cooped up back there for very long. A lot depends on how well the dog handles cramped quarters - some do better than others. Also keep in mind that it's liable to be quite warm under the rear window when the Sun is out.

I bought a cheap seat cover for the passenger seat and my dog (Australian Cattle Dog, approx 35 lb) rides there. The ppl that clean my car complain about the hair. I guess I should have gone with a car that doesn't have an all-black interior.

I can't be much help as far as breed choice goes but I'm very glad that you care enough to find a breed that fits your lifestyle and are not basing your decision on cuteness. There are several web sites that can help you select a breed.

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!

When we first got her she was about a year old, it was hard to tell cuz she was a rescue, and she's pretty awesome I posted a pic of her on the dog thread. I wouldn't really say she's stubborn but since we didn't get her as a puppy it was kinda hard to train her as easily as you would a younger dog, she likes to run so the few times she gotten out I had all the kids from the neighbor hood helping me chase her around lol but overall I'd say they're awesome, they have lots of energy and are SUPER smart, sometimes I wonder what she would say if she would talk
