Uni dog backpack

should be fine, u will have to adjust to the weight a bit, just practice
riding about with him in, sounds like a bloody good idea
think i could get a squid bag for my eight foot long, korean whale
hunter?😄

(hey, u said i was sane, jj):p

if you could get your dog to ride on the front of your longboard it
would be the most adorably cool thing I have ever seen. I would work
on that if I were you.
The uni thing, it would probably work, but your dog might move around
which would make it tough.

As another alternative for your dog, check this site out-

http://www.skateboardingbulldog.com

it's no gimmick, the dog really can skateboard and clearly loves to do
so- if you go to the 'movies' page there's some excellent clips of
Tyson in action.

Yes, Tyson is one amazing skateboarding dog! He is well known and
respected in the skateboard community.

I don't know if 11 lbs in a doggie back pack might be a bit much on a
uni. What do you think?

I think if you happened to fall off backwards then at least you'd have a
soft landing.

Have you thought about using a cat carrier for your dog?

If you are serious, don't mind spending money on quality, then let me
introduce you to the ppl of 'RadicalDesign'
(http://www.radicaldesign.nl), who are making stuff for Brompton and
Semcycle.

One other article that came from customer-requests, you like to see:

Further I know these back-packs a French SWAT Squad is using for
parachute jumps. I know these are also made by a Dutch campany as well.
But I don't know any name or address.

I have a chow lab mix named Uni, and a maltese (Chloe) and when we go
for rides or cross country skiing I wear a pack for carying the little
one when she gets tired or when the snow is deep. I have a pack that
she can sit comfortably in with just her head sticking out it works
great. She is a only seven pounds and I hardly even notice she is
there. I definitly ride a little more carefuly when she is on my back
and I take her out if I am doing something where I am more likely to
take a tumble. The only thing I haven't worked out is the camel back
and dog but I dont take her on long rides anyway.

Leo, thanks for the links, the Radical products do look really top of
the line. As for a doggie backpack, perhaps I confused you, it isn't
something for the dog to wear but rather for me to wear so that I can
carry the dog on my back when he gets tired on a long ride.

Tellurider, its helpful to hear from someone who has tried this idea
out. Did your dog take to the pack right away or were there some things
you did first to help her get comfortable riding in there? Any tips or
suggestions would be appreciated.

BTW, today I picked up a light duty trials uni and was able to walk the
dog on the leash while I rode the 20 incher. I also looked at dog
packs and tried him in a couple. So I'm on my way with this project
and so far its looking hopeful.

dont fall backwards, maybe you should put the pack in front so if you
fall, your hands can brace you and protect the dog, cause if you fell
backwards on the dog it would hurt him

I've ridden good distances (20 miles in a day) with a 50 pound pack.
Falling over backwards really isn't an issue, if you're doing
street/sidewalk riding. Mounting and idling are more challenging, but
riding is not much different, even with significant weight.

Erin, that "dog" looks more like a power bar to me. I think it would
come in particularly handy when you're hungry from pushing that
longboard. Are you back on the trials cycle again yet?

Hi Greg! Power Bar! Ha, that's just cause you've got a dog that would
the equivalent to a side of beef!!! :p

Yeah, I just scored a little powder puff trials machine today. No big
flying leaps for me anymore but I was missing my wee hop-skip-and-jumps
moves of year's past.

here's a pic of the new ride:

Hi Erin, our dog Chloe has been carried around in many diffrent types
of bags and is very easy going. She has been smuggled onto air planes
(pre 911) and into movie theaters and restaraunts so she took to the
backpack with ease.

The main thing would be to find a pack that is comfortable for your
dog so he can sit up comfortably and can have his head out. The pack we
use is an old Edie Bauer pack with an upper and lower compartment that
is kind of pear shaped and we put her in the lower compartment and with
nothing in the top compartment.

I put her in before putting the pack on when I am by myself but it
works better if I put the pack on then have someone else put her in.
All I have to do to get her out is to sit down on the ground and she
can hop out unasisted.

Let us know how it works out, and good luck.

Dan.
