small dog on a gs adventure.....................

Wasnt sure where to post this but if its in the wrong place im sure it,ll be moved to the right place.....
Im planning a trip through France,Italy, in the future and would like to take along my Border terrier if possible................Has anyone ever done this????
I have been doing some research on how to carry the dog as you can buy purpose built bags/boxes etc.....
I am aware off the procedures in taking a dog to europe as have done it before in a 4x4.....and i beleive the Swiss have stricter laws on dogs entering....
Thanks for any pros and cons.......

Baglux <edit> used to <edit> do a dog carrier to fit their tank harnesses. Unfortunatly the pictures show West Highland Terriers, but I guess you could paint the Border Terrier white and it would be ok.....

Punky & Lew traveled all of Mex, Cent. America, S. America on a KLR about 5 to 6 years ago. He had some kind of tank bag rig I believe. The pic below shows Lew's Vstrom but most travel was done on his KLR. Google Punky & Lew, probably more info on how he carried the dog.

Be careful where you put your dog down. Little punky was eviscerated by some bad Pit Bull ... nearly died.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
