Yum-Yum; how high is your Tibetan Mastiff? Cause I have a s:t Bernard, which is 74cm in withers (don't know if that's correct term?) and wonder if its possible she would go into a Clubman?

Wilke: My Tibetan is about 31 inches at the withers (shoulders) or 78cm right now and she still is growing so I think you would be good to go. My big girl is funny in that she will only ride standing up. So to make her more comfortable I remove the first floor cover in the back and fold the seats down and she seems very comfortable & content riding that way. Much better than my old Cooper S which was a bit tight for her. She is a drooler so I use a shower curtain under a matress cover and then a moving blanket over everything to keep the car clean and dry

Gotta love the Poochstyle mat! What breed are your pups? They look too big for Maltese, I think.

Sounds great! You say that you have removed the first floor cover, how does it look beneath? Is it flat surface or?

You don't have any picture when your little darling is inside the car and the clubman-doors are open? Trying to convince my wife that Clubman S is the perfect car for us!

Drooling is always an issue when you have a S:t Bernad, lots of places where water can hide apperently.

They are coton de tulear dogs.

Marco (on the right) is my 17 year old retired show boy and Cookie (in the rear) is his almost 14 year old daughter from his very first litter after finishing. Wally (on the left) is the baby at 6, he is a puppymill rescue.

Ah, very cool! Wow, 17 years old. You are very lucky, indeed.

Wilke I hope these photos of the top floor panel removed help you.

(top floor panel removed)


(top floor panel installed)


I took a shoot of her inside tonight from the front of the car with my drool covers removed. She is in her summer coat so her size is very decieving in the photos but she is about the size of a male Newfounland or Great Pyrenees.

Winter is almost here

Here's a shot from last year. My Bostons hop up into the Clubbie back all the time.

I took my 5 year old son to a local MINI Countryman event, and we won the guy in the photo! My son named him Mini Coop!

Clubbie as a play-room for Gromit & Petunia

My Clubman is kept in a lounge-like garage, even heated when it matters. So when we are socializing out there, the dogs like to join us (naturally) . They use the back end of the Clubbie as the high ground in dog games, such as 'I have the ball now'. Here are my two with a friend's dog visiting as well.
Yes, they've been posted here before, but I'm better at pictures now, so I thought we'd come back for a posting-

Introducing Winston. He is a 4 year old Great Pyrenees and Yellow Lab mix, and weights in at about 100 pounds. I just adopted him from an older couple that could not longer take care of him. Unfortunately he sheds A LOT and now the back of clubbie is black carpet with white accents.

He loves to go for rides but has not yet learned to lie down when going around corners, and tries to surf but usually ends up falling over. Someday he will learn and enjoy the ride even more thru the twisties.

Winston is also very affectionate and wants to be with people all the time.

He will never replace my Black Lab Christie who we had to put down for health reasons last June (https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...89-post94.html) but seems like he will be a great companion.

Thanks

I so missed having a dog around the house. I only adopted him last Thursday (12-16-10) but he is adjusting well. So I'm really hoping he likes the twisties.

Sydney

We were down in NC/SC for a few baby showers this weekend. While I was packing the car up, Sydney wanted to make sure we didn't leave him behind.
