No matter how well behaved the dog, this is a sound reason for using some method of restricting the dog's movement. I seem to remember hearing somewhere that the force of a dog hitting the windscreen at 30 mph is equivalent to being charged by a baby elephant. :shocked: Whether I am right or wrong, I don't fancy the idea of finding out. Our Springer travels on the back seat, wearing a harness strapped to the seat belt. En route to Wales last summer, we forgot to clip the harness to the seat belt - I think she knew, and sat very still so as not to give the game away :|
We bought a cage for her from Argos when she was a puppy - fine for the job we bought it for, as her 'bedroom', but not so good in the car as it rattled. If the Collie x Alsatian is the same size as RRB's Max, this cage may well be something on the small side. I have no experience of the other cages mentioned.

We have a black lab and an alsatian...the alsatian is getting on a bit now and likes to have a bit of peace when travelling seperated from the overly "busy" lab pup...the solution was a Barjo Dog Cage http://www.barjo.co.uk/...
You can use them three ways...with all three panels in place there is a front a back and a partition...two panels, effectively making a big box, so you can leave the back door open without fear of them leaping out...or just one panel, which keeps the in the back and off the seats!
New from Barjo, prices can get a bit interesting, but you can get them from good old Ebay from time to time...that's where ours came from, it was tailored for a Jeep Cherokee, but does the job in a Disco with only a small amount of adjustment...and the price???...just short of £30...as opposed to the thick end of £300!! :D :D

Any experiences or recommendations??

sensible idea I too could do with a fair sized strong!!! dog cage to hold my black and white staffie in my 4x4,every day he senses when I am close to the .horses and starts going mad with excitement.
he has already demolished a guard that is meant to keep him in the boot area of my vehicle, so strong being the optimum word.so ill be looking for welcome ideas,(and that doesnt mean a bullet!!!)

I can highly recomend Barjo dog cages as I used to go to Agility when I was a id with a chap who built them. Andrew was his name. I cant remember his surname at the moment. Lovely guy.

Have you looked at Genuine parts Dog Guards?
Not cheap but they really look the part; you still have the full boot and they are very strong, much better than most aftermarket ones.
