With the chance for a Tibetan Terrier in the future to join the crew here, I'm starting to look for a show trolley (the crates with grooming table style) that is suitable for a TT. I'm quite keen on the split one where the TT could go on the top layer, and potentially my BC in the bottom (although this is more then likely going to end up being for another TT..) that has the dividers (am I making sense?!)

I've googled, but as these are expensive bits of kit, I thought I'd ask and go with personal recommendations from people

T.I.A

After years of crates / boxes for dogs and a trolley table, I have just got a trolley from here

I have the four berth all terrain (for Papillons lol) easy to manouvre and most important lightweight with great aftersales service.  A bit more costly than some others around but I wouldn't swap it for anything.

Thanks :) I was looking at them, as you say not the cheapest, but I presume it'll last and last!!

Sorry but my trolley from that company is the spawn of satan!! Nothing but touble and forever catching my fingers in it, wheels falling off and getting stuck everywhere. BUT I did buy the one with the castors not the all-terrain... a major mistake...all because the all terrain is a big two piece slot together thing which I though would be too much trouble. That'll teach me!

Your welcome, because I travel to shows on my own occasionally the fact it was light weight was a big deciding factor.  The aftersales service is second to none.  Quite happy to spend time with you as well to make sure you get the one that suits you and your dogs.  Though I would love to have a wee two berth one for when I take just a one or two dogs to the shows.   Don't think OH will go for it somehow.

ETA wouldn't go for the small wheels, all terrain seem to be the better buy.

> That'll teach me!

Caught my fingers in it once and learned my lesson, KEEP THEM CLEAR LOL.  I bought a trolley table with big wheels ten years ago after watching friends with small wheeled ones, so for me it was a natural to choose the larger wheel without giving it a second thought.  I did wonder what I had got into the first time I tried to put it all together, but once you actually look at the markings on the base and follow them it's easy.  Even easier just go to the stand and have a go at putting a trolley together there, they are more than helpful and will let you have a go.  And because you are being shown and what to do you don't catch fingers or get in a fankle with the wheel base.

> or get in a fankle with the wheel base

Oh I loved that expression....haven't used it since I left Scotland when I was a girl :-)

I'm looking at the giant all terrain, and having a bit more length added so my BC could fit in each divided bit. I need it to be as multi purpose as possible. I can't see my show team being any bigger then 3, (at the mo its just one!) but never say never I guess!!!! I think he's the biggest I'd go, and a show papillon is mighty tempting (my current old boy never enjoyed the fun shows sadly) so I guess a pap and TT could bunk together in there.

Hmm the possibilities are endless!!!
