Dog owners?
« on: 21 April 2014, 12:06 »
Having a debate with my wife over dogs in the boot of a Golf.

Do you have dogs - if so, how much space is there in the back for your mutt(s)?

If anyone could post a pic of their dogs in the back their GTI, that could be very helpful!

Many thanks if you can help out!

Depends on the size of your dogs! We have a border terrier and he's got more than enough room for him and a friend. Our friends with a Rhodesian redback couldnt think about putting him in though....
