Hi there
sorry for the delay in getting back to you
im actually after the cage front that a few companies make with a door in so that you can open the tailgate without the lazy sods escaping

If they are anything like Jay they don't need anything to keep then in except a couple of quilts to sleep on.
A fitted cage would cost a fortune but maybe the largest crate would be the cheapest option unless you know someone who is good at welding.
I personaly believe you wont need the cage. as you say they are lazy sods and just want to sleep.
When I open the boot I tell Jay to stand and he waits for his lead to be put on. Amber, who is a lurcher also does the same but I have fitted the netting by the back seat to stop her going into the rest of the car.

hi there
got to say those pair look gorgeous
the only reason for wanting the guard is that we do a lot of travelling in the so called british summer
it would be to keep them secure with the bootlid up when we stop on route
after looking at a few sites ive now come to the conclusion that welding one up myself is going to be the easiest option

thanks for your help and i'll upload a picture of our pair as soon as
