Folks,
I am looking for a kennel for the back of a Ford Escape. It is a company vehicle and may be switching to a RAV4. Looking for a site for sizes. I have been using a larger crate and putting down the back seat but would rather not mess with that hassle.

Good thoughts on the blood on bird. How do you go about conditioning them to the bloody bird without dampering their want to fetch a bird if they picked up a nonbloody one?

Tease the pup yes but never catch. If a pup is going to "catch" it should be shot before hand. Different scent with blood on bird.
