Wife adopted a Shepard that they told her was camera ready to star in a Feature Length Rin Tin Tin movie.

That ain’t so, not by a long shot but still a good dog Wifie wants to bring along on some rides.
4 seat X3 Max.

How do you - or do you restrain yours?
- or forget it leave them in camp.

Todd Taylor does it all the time, he has goggles and custom harness for the pup.

If it’s going to be dusty I’d leave them at campZ. Solo cruising around up to you.

i was just thinking we wear those face masks etc. or variants. I watched people running with their dogs at desert bash a couple times and thought “god damn that dog has to he miserable.”
I don’t think people realize a dog would rather be uncomfortable and with its owner.. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good for the dog.

So leaving a dog in a car is not ok, but driving it around unrestrained or in some half baked harness in a SXS is perfectly fine. :rolleyes:

kinda two different things.. but I don’t do either.. lol.

Not really. If you roll the SXS the results might just be identical.

But these are problems I don't have, as I don't own a dog.

Youtuber Cleetus McFarland has a 2 seater can am built for him by SXS blog guys. Cleetus is a dog guy. On the reveal they showed off a dog seat for his dog. It’s really just an extension of the seat base for more doggie room. I thought it was really cool.

Don’t have Mfgr info but you might check cleetus’ channel for the sxs reveal video.

Iv seen guys remove rear seats and put carpeted base down. The couple Iv seen the dogs seem to love it. Sand = less dust. And mountain trails. Cruising not to worried about roll overs

Savage. PETA has been notified.
That's not me, that Doug McCowen and his dog Kookie. Back in the late 60's through the mid 70's they were a staple at D-37 events. They were both fierce competitors. There were a couple of other guys that rode with their dogs but this couple were the most notable.
My cat rode with me.:D

We have a pug, kids hold him on their laps with a blanket, he falls asleep and is super easy. Our friends have a RZR and bought the snap in flat floor from Tusk, they have a big Costco dog bed and their lab just lays back there with no issues. Hard Core riding, we leave the dogs at camp.

We did every ride, but we were in a Viking running mountain trails, not high speed offroad in the desert. They would just lay on the floor and enjoy the ride. I never did anything crazy while they were riding with us.

Mine rides in the back seat, harnessed and leashed. The doggles last most of the ride. Sooner or later she gets over 'em.:cool:

The guy riding the motorcycle with his dog is John and Cookie. I use to race with that guy years ago. That dog was a smart dog.

I went to high school with Mike, we would hook up in Ocotillo wells and go for a ride. Mike & Opee had gotten 10 minutes of fame on TV at the Daytona super cross! Opee has passed and Mike lives in Lake Elsinore area we talk 2-3 times a year.
