Hummmm. Show people not crating toys. News to me. I don't know anyone that transports this breed by way of car seats.
I've seen some bypass a crate if they prep off site. The distance to/from show site from hotel. While some may say 1 mile, 200 miles, what's the difference? There is a difference. No freeways etc. We have our own perception of safety.
Unless you are referring to car seats that are cutting edge---unbeknown to me.
I've had two types of car seats. One a bucket type that hangs on the head rest. It has a popular screen print of the breed on it. I never put it in the car. The other is a foam type that sits in the seat. It has a pull out storage drawer in it with a black cover. This one holds two dogs. They can jump out of it/hanging from the side. People rave about the later one. Both junk.
There may be must of it than I'm aware of. Everyone parks all over the place.[/quote]
If harnessed in properly the dogs shouldn't be able to jump out of a good dog seat. Just as in babes in baby seats, if used properly, they keep them pretty safe. I've been in a car accident with my dogs in a crate......even harnessed in tightly they were jostled around and one had to be taken to ER because of injuries caused by bein jostled around.
But, just because one chooses to use a car seat over a crate doesn't make them undeducated......at least the dog isn't lose in the car......
