Greetings...

 

Advice please ~ due to a protracted saga which I won't bore you with, I have run out of time to  order and take delivery of a custom-made travel crate to accommodate my adult male bearded collie in time for Crufts in early March.

 

Therefore, I need an alternative either to buy or rent.

 

I was going to Barjo, and that plan isn't abandoned long term, but for my immediate need can anyone suggest a good quality crate (I was wondering about a Thule? - they look ok) which would be deliverable before 6/7 March, or does anyone know of a hire facility?  He likes to sit and look out of the window on the outbound trip and generally sleeps on the inbound leg, however I would like him to be able to stand comfortably in the crate if he wants to.

 

Harnesses and rear dog guards aren't suitable, to which the back of our 20+ year old Jeep Cherokee can attest, and this time I'd like to protect the boot from the start.

 

Any suggestions welcomed.

 

TIA, BeardieTaxi

 

My late Brother, bought two smaller (cheaper) crates an joined them together to get one the right size for his two Springer Spaniels.

Bars were cut and joined with tubing to allow adjustment, sliding in to install and out and locked to maximise space.
