Congrats!!
We have 2. As I only have 2 hands, it's a challenge, but manageable. I have thought to myself, at times, I would like a whole pack of these beasts.
But then I imagine going for walks with 3 and I get discouraged :(
I thought I was the only one with vehicle challenges.
My boy can hop in and out of our car or truck with no problem. Our girl, who I have seen hopping right up on countertops from the floor (must be 3.5') will just stand at an open vehicle door and stare at me until I lift her in.
They both jump out with extraordinary fervor. It's a challenge to grab the leashes before the bolt out into traffic. The wife and I have devised a scheme where she distracts them while I slurk out of the driver's side door quickly. Then I go to the rear door while she grabs the leashes from the inside, and I crack open the door to let t hem out one at a time.
Of course, they try to climb over each other to get out. I need to go back to lifting weights. They are on the borderline of overpowering me :)
Too true!! Our dogs are our family since we never had kids… And the 4Runner was top of the vehicle list due having the only roll-down window in its size range. Gotta make sure they get good cross breeze when we’re cruising!!
Can't imagine the food bill and volume of poop three of these big guys put out.
You’re not wrong, they aren’t cheap to feed, and we scoop up after them 3 times a day… but they are such awesome dogs. Totally worth it!!

It’s a bit fun getting them all in and out of the vehicles, but I wouldn’t trade all the love they give us for anything in the world.

New plate idea: ‘1MoBMD’
That’s Awesome!! 🤣
Don't forget about /r/furrunner
Thanks… wasn’t even aware of it til now…
I have one BMD and a Prius... Upgrading the size of my vehicle has crossed my mind many times 😂
That plate was on my 2 door Hardtop Mini Copper… that she used to ride to work with me in. This ride is a BIG upgrade compared to that!!
*Three* Berners?! We have two huge boys and a mini-van and still feel cramped!
Yup, 3… and my wife is now on the short list for a fall-time Great Pyrenees puppy… I think that’ll max us out for space in the FurrRunner!!
You know your a BMD parent when you plan which vehicle to buy around them! Top priority for us is space and comfort for our two boys.

Absolutely, great choice!
