I've seen ads in the exchange and mart for ex police veichles for sale, if thats any help. Ive got a Bandog and he makes a hell of mess of anywhere he goes. I run a daily drive mitsi space wagon and he stays in the back, being an MPV he has plenty room.

They always take the cages out to reuse mate,
they get stripped back to a basic van, all radios removed, blue lights, stickers etc, better off buying a normal van really

There are also auctions for police vehicles if you would prefer a real bargain.

Try MOD vehicle auction sales for ex-RAF Police Dog Wagons as they are generally really good. If You live near an RAF Base, you could always get in touch with the RAF Police Dog Section and see if they have any old vehicle Dog kennels that you could have.

1 of my neighbours had the same problem, was fed up with his labs drooling over his 7 series leather. So he bought a van then found some handy with a welder and got himself an old wire fence panel from a scrappy (the ones usually found round construction sites). Between the 2 of them, they cut it down and welded it in the back. Instant dog cage.
