I'd agree with some other comments here that 45lb is really pushing it on any kind of standard rack. Cargo fork i.e. cyldesdale maybe.
I have a 75lb german shepard, so using a rack was never an option in my mind. We started out in the Burly Tail Wagon trailer, and once he got the hang of that and i confirmed he enjoyed it I got an Omnium cargo bike almost specifically for carrying him and my other large dog. I have come to use it for much more than that though. On Sunday, December 21, 2025 at 12:37:04 PM UTC-6 [email protected] wrote: > I too would be really interested in any solutions here.
