Hi everyone,
I wanted to send this info to my Dock Jumping friends. I have been involved in various dog sports for many years and am really cutting back on traveling to events. My 2 Chesapeakes, Tonka and Ida are 8 and 9 years young now and pretty much retired anyways. My Dog transportation, (affectionately referred to as The Command Center), has been sitting in my driveway now for over a year and it is time to sell it. This rig has been used for Hunt Tests and Dock Jumping events as well as Flyball and has been the perfect set up for myself and my dogs for any type of dog related event we have ever attended from California, to Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and Oregon. The dogs travel happy, and you can sidetrack along the way and not have to worry about excessive temps while you make rest/food stops.
Some details:

I am asking $2000 for it.
I am willing to drive it to it's new home in So Cal, but whoever buys it will need to be responsible for the transfer to their own vehicle.
Anyway, I really hate to sell it, but I just cannot see keeping it anymore as this truck has not been used but 2 times since LAST July.
Please pass this info along to anyone out west who you think may be interested in it.
Thank you
