Hi, I just need some information about the Ford Fiesta. I have own a [standard size Berneoodle](https://bernedoodlebreed.com/standard-bernedoodle/), and looking for a good car to go for trip with my dog. I am planning to buy Ford Fiesta, but I am little confused as I really don’t know if my standard bernedoodle will fit in this size or not. Please help me if any Ford Fiesta owner here. ---

From the link you provided, > [@](#): > > the standard Bernedoodle weighs 45 to 110 pounds and 23 to 29 inches in height. 110 lbs is a pretty big dog, might fit in the back seat if it’s a 4 door. Don’t forget the harness and strap to buckle him in, don’t want 45 to 110 lbs flying around in an accident. ---

Probably but they’re going to have a hard time reaching the gas pedal. 🙂 But more seriously, my 100 lb dog is quite fine riding shotgun during short trips (15-30 minutes) in a small 2 door BUT anything longer requires enough space for him to lay down or stretch… The only way to find out how your dog reacts would be to rent a similar car for a test drive. ---

The chance that someone who has Ford Fiesta ( I do ) seeing this and also having a large dog are really low. Why this person does not look at a vehicle with the dog is beyond me . I would imagine he has taken the dog with him in the current veihicle or in the past so he should know how much space he needs . ---

Bring the dog with you when you look at the car. I’ve seen it done. I bring 2 sets of golf clubs to ensure they’ll fit. > If the Clubs don’t fit, then I don’t commit. ---

> [@MikeInNH](#): > > I bring 2 sets of golf clubs to ensure they’ll fit. Good Grief Mike , that just makes too much sense . You are supposed to go on the web and ask if a ( vehicle name here ) and ask if 2 golf bags will fit . As if anyone one would know if you have one of those bus sized bags like the Pro-caddies carry. ---

Yep, check if your local CarMax has a Fiesta on the lot and go check it out. You’ll be able to check out a lot of other cars at the same time. Me, I’d go with a used Honda Fit, the rear seat folds up, lots of room for a big dog to just walk on in. ---

> [@VOLVO-V70](#): > > . As if anyone one would know if you have one of those bus sized bags like the Pro-caddies carry. I don’t. I use to some 40 years ago when that’s all that was available. Now I have a very light-weight Sun Mountain bag that carries more then those old leather bags. ---

Don’t buy a Fiesta!!! Thee are many hatchback models that have tons of room with the backseat down. ---

I’ve talked about it before so I will not go into people taking their pets for a ride. It’s not something I’m against, it’s how, like letting the little “bow-wow” help steer the car, etc, or hang out the driver’s side window while operating the car. To see How I really feel… Check out “General Discussion, These people share the road with you, Posting #43” But, as mentioned earlier, do not let Fido ride shotgun, if the airbag goes off, Fido is DEAD. Fido sitting on the front seat is a lot closer to the dash than a person would be and the airbag would blow Fido apart. My advice, buy a harness for use with a car’s seatbelt and put Fido in the back seat, then Fido can never get out of the car unexpectedly. And never undo the harness until you have put a leash on your wrist and then clipped it to the harness. After I retired from the Air Force, I have volunteered at two No-Kill Animal Shelters and I’ve heard some pretty heart-breaking stories, that a little common sense could have avoided. ---

Depends on how comfortable the dog is. Our 42 lb. Australian Cattle Dog mix got along great in my Corolla. Bigger dog/smaller car, Fido will probably get along fine in the back seat.
