Aside on the dogs: I'd suggest looking up the "Plott Hound". Many mid-size brindle dogs get labeled as Pit Bulls or mixes, when they're really Plott Hounds (or something else). They have completely different personalities: mine's a water dog, fascinated by birds, runs at speed for miles, and has the hound-like 'woo woo woo' instead of a bark - yet he came to me from a Pit Bull rescue group. (Another foster failure: I was only supposed to give him a temporary home "just for a week or two" until he could be adopted. That was 3 years ago this April.)

I really don't think I need a trailer. After thinking about it, that's more maintenance in tires, axle grease, etc. It's not much maintenance, but more than a roof carrier. Plus, the carrier is easier to drive with.
I looked up the Plott Hounds. Very interesting! I think it's common to call anything brindle a pit or boxer mix. According to his adoption paperwork, my older one is a boxer mix, which helped me get a lease or two in an apartment. He hates water, is good at licking himself, doesn’t barking excessively and plays catch the tennis ball and never, ever, ever, under any circumstance, give it back (unless you have second tennis ball to throw him...). He is great with the kids, friendly to strangers, but also protective.
She is still young, but it looks like she is a pretty normal puppy. She doesn't like the tennis ball yet but already stole the older one's bone. He was fine with it since he stole her new bone. She snapped at him when he got close to her food, but I think that is pretty normal. Hopefully she picks up his manners.
Are both of those your dogs? Both are great! It looks like they are enjoying the woods.
