FeedOn the Road Again
George Hickox
Our dogs are road warriors. Trucking to and from training schools, traveling to Montana for summer work, trekking back to the quail plantation for the winter-we put on the miles. In the past five years our dogs have made the round trip to Alaska on the Alaska Highway four times, and, had they qualified, many would have earned enough frequent-flyer miles to be poster dogs for the airlines.
When it comes to traveling the highways and byways with your dog, safety is the first priority. Next the dog's comfort is worth careful consideration. If a dog has to endure cramped quarters for any length of time, muscle stiffness and soreness may set in. A dog that does not feel well will not train or hunt well. Your dog deserves more than a second-class coach ticket when crated for road travel. First class is the way to go.
