Dog in the car
I'm looking to take my dog (weimaraner) with me on some drives. He's only about 30 lbs now (all legs) and will probably top out at about 90 lbs when full grown. What are people using to haul dogs in their convertibles? Most options I've seen for front seats are for small breeds.

I've trained my Golden Retriever (100 lbs or so) to either curl up in the passenger footwell or sit on the seat (like the gentleman that he is).
Given the choice he typically defaults to the footwell.
He gets very excited when I take him to the car, because that usually means dog park 😃

Remember, you have a Weimaraner....very much like a Vizela, way different than a Retriever or a Lab. Well trained they can be. Just like mine is, except, and a very huge except it is, when those in-bred hormones kick in for whatever reason and your leather seat and perhaps dash may have to pay a high price. Just a kind word of caution and hopefully you will not ask me why as I have tried to forget and forgive.

We have two Weimaraners in our family. So putting them in the F-type is not an option. Although we have a back seat car cover and harness' in the back of our RR Autobiography that they gladly will use while taking them to the beach or vet. I believe the harness' are made by kong and clip via carabiner to straps attached to seatbelt mounting points. This system works very well and keeps everyone safe if an accident should occur. A similar system could be used on the F-type as long as a seat cover is used to protect the leather surfaces. While harnessed the dogs just curl up and sleep until the destination is reached.

I took various dogs for rides in my TR8’s. I never felt I was driving my best because I was too worried they’d do something crazy like decide they needed to be on my lap.
I did take my 90 pound Pitt/Sheppard to the vet in the Type coupe. Towel covering leather. I don’t think either of up enjoyed the ride.
Lot easier to put the seats down in a Pace and have them back there.

Solution version 1.1. Dog seat/booster on top of some foam and a thick blanket with a harness attached to the seat belt. Worked well for a four hour drive. I'll be working with foam and some other material to make a better, more customized version.

Attached picture of friends with my dog’s sister, in their 911. He removed the rear pseudo seats and put down a blanket for her. And she has a harness. We haven’t taken our dog in our new to us XKR ‘vert…because she had a hot spot that wouldn’t go away and she had to wear the cone of shame. But, our dog loves riding in our Acura MDX, and expect she’ll like the XKR with the top down.
