I have an aluminum dog box I typically use when on a longer drive or if I m stayin the weekend

BUT I ve been gettin lazy and when I make short drives normally a hour or less I ll just chain to a extra bar I had added to my toolbox/auxiallry tank and can clip numerous dogs on. In the side by side I also stopped carrying a box because it seems I can put more on chain/leads so what do y'all prefer and why?

Box......with 'LOCKS"...Becuase i like having peice of mind that my dogs will still be there if there is a breakdown or i have to stop and go in a store etc. People will steal dogs out of pickups but the box is just a better security measure. Also helps when raining,good for shade,the list goes on.......

That's the way it started.

I do the same thing. Sometimes box...sometimes not. Temp and weather has alot to do with it.

prefer a box that way they can't jump out and hang themselves when i may leave one or two on the bike while going in after a hog. I also like the fact they can't see everything going on and they seenm to stay a little calmer

Yea definitely agree with the locks I have em on my box as well. In the pic with 10 dogs in my buggie was too many IMO, we did have a few fall out and what not and was constantly having to look back but here lately I typically been making solo hunts bringing only 3 dogs so its not near as bad on chains. Haven't had any fall out or jump out and I run all 3 together so when it's just me its no so bad. Might need to start toting a box when I go with other ppl to lower the amount of dogs I'm totin. Lol

For a while I was building/havin em built sold about 15 of em I guess then everyone wanted "custom" stuff and would back out so I stopped, last one I did was for me and of course I did it to my specs


Has solid aluminum shields when weather is bad/cold and locks on doors and on drawer etc, pm me and I ll see what I can do might can still get one built I handed over my design to a guy that is still messin with it.

Box for me. I don't like people walking up to my truck when I stop for gas and cokes. Plus if a dog gets hurt I don't want people seeing it , but normally hurt dogs get to ride in the back seat.
 To some a bed full of dogs looks bad to non hunters  .  Box keeps them contained most importantly.

I always liked them loose in the bed, that way didn't have to worry about my stuff or truck getting stolen. I would like to see someone try to steal my dog, I would laugh as their face is being eaten.

You know my answer,  unless you are talkin open topped on a 4wheeler, i just dont like em, take up to much space.... I have been huntin by myself here lately and the dogs hit the ground running straight out of the truck so its different for me., just dont care for a box. When i buy my next truck I am gonna buy a lwb, i will build a box for it but its gonna be permenant and still small enough to put a 4wheeler in the bed......i dont like trailers much either lol.

Box for me. Mine is actually being remodeled right now as we speak, lol.

I make stops at gas stations and such, and I get ALOT of nosey/inquisitive folks that wanna look at my dogs and I don't care for that. Mine also has locks on the doors. It's also chained to my truck bed with another lock, just 'cause.

Too many dog theives runnin round nowadays.
