Ceiling height with and without sunroof?

I'm going to be buying a Clubman soon, but my only concern is taking my 3 dogs to the dog park. One is a 90lb Ridgeback, one is a 40lb bulldog mix and the other is a small Yorkie mix. I'm just worried that the Ridgeback won't have enough room when standing up, so I'd like to have as much ceiling height as possible... is there more room with or without the sunroof? I never really use it myself (I never have on other cars before) so the dogs are really the only concern.

i think it's a minimal difference, as the sunroof goes OVER the car, not into the headliner, and the rear glass doesn't slide at all.
how tall is the Ridgeback? I can measure for you today.

It's actually around an ~1" - 1.375" difference...

check again, the rear panel does NOT come down into the car when the front panel is opened.

The rear panel only tilts up and down, vent style. It doesn't go any further down than the regular closed position

Wow, where was I when I wrote that... Whoops!
Radio, you are correct; the rear glass stays in the same place.
