Team Epic Journey : Our Dog Truck

  Our Wonderful Dog Truck! Too long a story to tell..........

When you have eight siberian huskies, you must have some way to transport them safely to the areas that you train and race. A "dog truck" with a dog box is how we do this. Each dog has their own "box" with ventilation. The box fits onto the back of our pickup truck. The truck has special attachments on the frame that allow us to "drop" the dogs when we get to our location or to let them stretch their legs while traveling

 
We purchased our dog truck and dog box from a musher getting out of dog sports. Since then we've made a few modifications. It has been a good truck and box. We're hoping to keep it going another year or so and get something a little less used.
 
When you buy something used, make sure that you have it thoroughly checked out. This is a picture of our frame. A little repair job and we where up and running!
 

Our new dog truck, curtousy of the Ford Family Plan pricing. A week after its purchase, the brake lines on the old dog truck failed. Good timing on the purchase!
