I loved my Peugeot van but it's to big now I only have two dogs and Faye looks lost in Keisha's crate. :-/
I've looked at Barjo, Hamster baskets and have Mick Tozier's email addy. I'd love a tail guard, divider and two doors but it's going to be more expensive than getting the crates out of the shed. :-/ Also, there is sometimes a waiting list so I'd still have to use the crates in the meantime.
The Berlingo van at work has just been taxed - £215. The Berlingo cars are £135 to tax... Also, insurance is high on vans.
Fed up of looking. :-( This all boils down to fitting Sharla in!

My mechanic says exactly the same about later model Nissans, Ali. He told me they use Renault parts on newer ones and they're rubbish (actually, he used a ruder word than that!).
Gsdbc, if your dog crates are more or less a permanent feature, have you considered getting purpose-built cages made? There's a company called Hamster Baskets that my friend swears by, they'll make cages for any make of model of car, and are far cheaper than you might expect.
A friend of mine started using them when she realised that a cage an inch shorter than one of the standard sizes would be fine and give her a far wider choice of possible vehicles.
Another friend with GSDs and BCs just buys vans now!
