Anyone here use their riv to lug their doggie around? If so, how heavy is your doggie!

Thanks!

Franco, not an answer  to your question but we met this fellow yesterday pulling an overloaded trailer with his dog near Faro, Portugal. And during todays ride we passed another couple where the man had a trailer with their dog, no picture.

Riv used to sell the Wald Multi-fit basket. That's the basket I use. It opens up nearer the top and I think that's a good thing for a doggie. I customized some dowels to use as shade poles; a necessity in the East Bay. I've got some cushions on the bottom (think yoga mat) with a mini-leash across the top. There are also some hooks that allow for hanging off the side of a rack (Jandd), but on top is my preferred method. Overall I'm pretty satisfied.

I was hauling my 40ish pound dog around in a DoggyRide brand trailer. But I haven't ridden with her lately because of an incident that got her spooked of the trailer so we're working back up to being comfortable with it.

Some photos and more detail in this thread from last year:

I got a very lightly used Burley trailer off craigslist to cart my 40lb dog. It has a simple hitch to attach the the rear dropout and packs pretty flat when not in use. It took us both a couple rides to get used to it, but eventually she would run right inside even before I finished setting it up. I put one of these on the bottom to make it more comfortable:

My girl is about 14 now, and not walking too well. I've been thinking of pulling the trailer out and taking some shorter trips to parks. It'll be good for us both.
