Did anybody put the big dogs in the back yet, I just looked a green Patriot and was worried the big dogs wouldn't be able to stand up in the back?

Great pic!!! A lab and her Jeep. How big is she? That'll help to put the space around her in perspective.
They are swweeett!....worth every penny....:smiley_thumbs_up:
She is actually kind of small for a lab...65lbs to be exact....I got her 13 and 1/2 years ago from a breeder in Sauquot?? New York (near the middle of the state) when I was living in Troy, NY going to university....

Frosty, she's so fine sitting in your patriot. She's seems to like being driven around I assume? My two Goldens really like being driven around...they sleep all the time. I can't wait to get both of them in the patriot!!!
Congrats
Thanks...she LOVES going for a ride....I don't quite understand it because she goes to sleep within one mile from home and stays asleep until the vehicle stops....she even goes and lays down as soon as the engine is started (very safety conscious
)...What is it with these retrievers and cars?? Make sure you post some pics of the two of them in the vehicle...some people on the forum have two dogs and want to make sure they both fit...
Hey Frosty! I hope your Pooch knows what a special girl she is. Not every good dog gets to ride around in a new Patriot that coordinates so well with her fur!
Yes, she likes to coordinate her fur color with the color of her dog bed and her 4X4....
Haha....I guess when they are in the cargo area, they make the Patriot look like a Commander!....I wish my dog was that size...especially when I have to lift her in the back (she has arthritis now and can't run or jump very well anymore)...Don't think our dogs are going to have too much of a problem fitting anywhere in my new Pat. They probably can both fit in the glove compartment. 10 lbs COMBINED.

Roxy (lab cross) and I are waiting for our Patriot. She's seven months and still growing, so we need the room. Especially when my daughter brings along a friend. The Ford Focus has simply become too small.

Anyone with a dog bought one of those doggie barriers? A friend of mine has one in her Chevy, and will let me try it out in the Pat when I get it...hers is adjustable, so I should be able to size it down to fit the Pat.
If you have one, what kind did you get, how much was it, and how doyou like it?
I've got two black labs to consider...one of whom goes to work with me every day...

I'm guessing my back seat will be down all the time to. Not sure my English Mastiff is gonna be able to get himself in there otherwise =).
Of course now he will be able to since he's only a puppy at 5months old. I just may have to give him one of my shoes and keep him occupied.

I. too, placed a lot of weight on how a vehicle would suit my dog (a Welsh Springer Spaniel - see the avatar!) and knew that I was really buying "dog car" for her! She is 43 pounds, and we had my cousin's 55 pound aussie-x in as well and no probs - both fit easily.
By the way, my dog (nicknamed among other things, the 'vomit comet') already christened the back-passenger side door, floor mat and seat - it cleaned up easily, just wiped down the door and the YesEssentials fabric came out unscathed, no stain or smell after (she LOVES eating dirt and grass on hikes!!).

Love the dog! We had a black and white Springer Spaniel. He gave us 15 faithful years! Loved him.
I have a 25 lb Blue Heeler/Border collie and a 9lb Doxie. My problem will be keeping them in the back, which they won't stay. I have to buy a pet barrier to keep them from getting into the groceries. (they go everywhere, except to work). It's nice to see that a big dog can fit back there and have room to move.
too bad no is making a vehicle just for dogs-
so many of us keep looking.
My two dogs- one Cardigan Corgi, one terrier mix like the dog Sandy in orphan Annie fit in the back behind a grate. I was worried it was too small- but they seem fine and really like it.
Took them both to Vermont this past weekend in a friends Honda Pilot and they were in heaven- very roomy for dogs and people I just don't think the
gas milage can compare.
