I have a white German Shepherd. He is too large to fly with me but we do plenty together anyway.

Ron,

That is a good data point and raises a specific question. How large a dog can comfortably fly in an RV?

I was initially considering a mini goldendoodle but after talking more with a breeder, I am considering a small standard size dog because of the disposition. I expect such a dog to weight about 45 lbs.

So, is a 45 lb dog too large to fly well in an RV?

You've definitely never seen my pug! She chases rabbits, teases toads, posse fetch, water retrieve, and can get into all sorts of trouble. Then again, she will watch me work in the shop all day and supervise me mowing the runway.

But seriously, the only problem I'm having with flying with my pug is she overheats very quickly. I won't take her flying unless it is cool out. I also worry about the noise inside an RV (I measure 96-100 dB).

Oh, did I forget to mention snow ? ...

Default DOG

My dog needs less tongue weight for my RV-10!!!

I put cotton in my dog's ears. Mutt muffs kept falling off.
My RV-10 decibels measured 78 while my motorhome measured 92??
The motorhome is a 1965 ford truck cab with an El Rancho Rey camper attached.

Some of those aren't dogs, they are fashion accessories!

Our 55 pound English Bull Dog Torque really enjoys flying with us but he is really too big to get in and out of the plane.
