MP_the4pack Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Just from experience, I know most dogs can't do the distance once they became a tripod. And Tanzi loves her long walks. So does anyone have any recommendation for a folding stroller or wagon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest goofydog Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 No direct knowledge, however I saw a foldable wagon this past weekend that had nylon sides and a solid bottom. It folded to a size that was easily lifted in to the trunk of a compact car. I'm not sure if Cindy Frezon, a fab GH photographer BTW, is on here regularly but you can probably do a quick google search and find her. Tanzi loves her Momma for finding a way to keep her ventures going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbhounds Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Might want to ask Suzie from Skinnyhounds design. She had a pretty cool cart for her Lena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annette Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 We just used a Little Tykes plastic wagon: Someone from our adoption group used a garden cart/wagon similar to this: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200641817_200641817?cm_mmc=Bing-pla&utm_source=Bing_PLA&utm_medium=Lawn%20%2B%20Garden%20%3E%20Wagons%20%2B%20Yard%20Carts&utm_campaign=Ironton&utm_content=46529 Quote Annette, mom to Banjo (AJN Spider Man) & Casey (kitty), wife to Roy.

TwiggysMom Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Tanzi may just surprise you & refuse to have any help... But at MH 2015, a woman had this https://www.amazon.com/Doggyhut-Trailer-Bicycle-Carrier-7030202/dp/B00B56P2OC and it seemed to work very well for her guy. I am thinking of you both & sending best wishes for a speedy recovery!

dmdsmoxie Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Tanzi may just surprise you & refuse to have any help... This. While I think it is a good idea to take a cart/wagon along you also want her to build muscle back in her remaining leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiggysMom Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 This. While I think it is a good idea to take a cart/wagon along you also want her to build muscle back in her remaining leg. A determined & independent hound won't be be discouraged by being 1 leg down. I created a monster by letting Twiggy decide what her rehab would be. Five years later, this now twelve-year-old still out-runs me for hours/miles. She (nor I) wouldn't have it any other way.

juliemac Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 while I don't mean to hijack ... Twiggy looked AWESOME at Greyhounds Only event this past weekend ... who needs that spare leg? I'm sorry to hear about Tanzi, and pray for a quick recovery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inaandmax Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 My friend's tripod grey has worked up to hikes with us over 2 miles long she may be just fine! Best wishes to your girl.

MP_the4pack Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Alas, I don't think Tanzi is going to be able to build up to be able to do long stuff. She's quick to lay down and rest. But I do think she will take to a stroller/wagon. The little Tykes would be number one on my list, but it takes up too much room. I need something that fits in the SUV with two dogs.

Greylover97 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 This is similar to the one I got for Jake. It's high off the ground so I had to pick him up to get him in it. Also it doesn't have any brakes. Personally I think it's heavy and a lot of weight to pull around even without a hound in it. I never really used it for those reasons. http://t.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=55704446&camp=CSE:GooglePLA:55704446:20331218-DSG:LIFESTYLE-CAMPING_BACKYARD_FURNITURE&gclid=CKyszoawrdACFU5LDQodvVoDFQ Quote Carolina (R and A Carolina) & Rebel (FA Ready).At the bridge: Kira (Driven by Energy) 7/19/97 - 6/17/04 & Jake (Jumpstart Dude) 9/12/00 - 1/24/15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_the4pack Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Actually this item with the fatter wheels might work better. http://t.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=87374376&clickid=prod_cs&recid=prod_PageElement_product_rr_2_1072 I was also looking at this: https://www.amazon.com/Best-Choice-Products-Stroller-Suspension/dp/B00N11PEPQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479306644&sr=8-1&keywords=dog+strollers+for+large+dogs But if I'm on gravel or grass, which would be easier to move? The large wheeled stroller, or flat wheel wagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdsmoxie Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 The larger the wheel the easier it would be going over gravel or small rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_the4pack Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 (edited) yeah I agree, but pulling is also easier than pushing. I think I'm leaning towards the stroller though. They're both pretty heavy. But now as I think about it, if is just collapses, across the middle, it might be too tall to fit in the SUV without laying it down, which then takes up too much room. I'll have to think about this. Edited November 16, 2016 by MP_the4pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeh2o Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Did you end up buying a cart/stroller? If so, what did you buy?

MP_the4pack Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 I bought a garden wagon. Flat, low to the ground, large soft tires. She said " no thanks"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
