Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Forum
My fiance and I are thinking about getting new cars because of we of our new puppy. We also have taken up kayaking. We currently own two cars, a Lexus Es 350 and a Porsche Cayenne S. I've been driving Lexus sedans since I was 16 years old and I really wanted something different. So I'm thinking of getting a Porsche 911 Cabriolet. This is a small convertible with a small back seat. My doodle is about 6 months old and weighs ~ 35 lbs but he is a standard Goldendoodle. He is very gangly and tall. His father is a 30 lb medium poodle and mother was a 60 lb f1 Goldendoodle. My Dad thinks getting the 911 would be very unfair for Lucky because he won't be able to fit but I've seen some photos on this forum where people have their dog in their convertible. My fiance wants to get rid of the Cayenne for the Prius V or MB GLC to be more gas efficient. I am very determined to get the 911 convertible but can a Standard Goldendoodle fit? I also want to mention that Lucky is my service dog so he would go to places with me a lot. I've attached a few photos of the Porsche 911 backseat and a photo I found of a very large dog in that exact car. I've also saw on Porsche forum you can add a modification to make it dog-friendly. It is the photo with the red exterior. What does everyone think?
Update: After the Convertible Rollover research, I've decided no on the 911. Despite the rollover bar protection, the test on youtube shows a very poor outcome to any serious rollovers. I am now gonna look at the Range Rover HSE. Seems very dog friendly and is one of the larger suvs.

I could not work in an ER. I did a little bit in high school admitting patients. While I wasn't allowed to actually see what was going on back there, I still heard about it. It was good experience for me, it kept me from making a wrong career choice.
Both my parents are doctors and so are my grandparents. I wanted a career in politics, then I interned for Tony Blair in college. I worked with deported refugees back to Darfur and realized it really isn't a career for me. But yeah no convertibles.
Good choice. :-}
If I died in a car, at least it would be with my dog...I could be in worse company. j/k thanks for the input. I'd probably get a suv like everyone else.
Update: Thank you all for your help. After a lot of thinking, I decided not to give up my convertible dream that I've had since age 15 and thought I should rent one as a test. Turns out it is cheaper to rent a convertible than a kayak. go figure. Lucky did amazingly well and rather enjoyed the scenic drive and the panoramic view. We drove down park ave and we got so many compliments on my dog. I think I might get a convertible after all. I will probably keep my SUV for utilitarian purposes.
Yay!! He looks so comfortable! I love the convertible Beetles!
He looks cute in the car.
