I'm getting a dog...
I'm going to be getting a black lab soon and here's the problem. I just have trouble with the idea of the dog trashing the X5. Can anyone share how they transport their dog with relative ease without getting the interior totally messed up? crate in back or nylon divider. Any help would be appreciated. I've had a chocolate lab in the past and know that there is quite a toll on the interior....

I have a 55lb Pit Bull (which is much smaller size wise then a full grown lab) but I have taken her on trips from Maryland to Vermont with me. She simply lays on the back seat. However, while a pup, best bet is to put the dog in the far back area. Make sure you keep the rules clear that the dog is not allowed to jump all over the leather (as the claws can make nice rips).
As with most things, 'parental' direction is key.

I have a chocolate lab and take her with us snowboaring 10X a year. I just fold the read seats down (hiding the leather) and let her roam. She mostly sleeps or looks out the window. I have a "pop-up" dog tent that I keep in in if I leave the vehicle.

Our dogs go in the back and we have a dog guard.
a net partition does just as well but sometimes the wee guys squeeze through

I carted both of my Boxers around in the back of the X a couple times. Worst toll on the interior was the drool I had to wipe off
 Take your dog for a loooooong walk just before you load up- it helps if they're a little tired

Or puppy snuffle Anyway, when I had the X, we would put all 3 in the back with no divider, 1 english bulldog (60lbs) and 2 mini schnauzers. Sometimes the schnauzers would try and jump over, but they got down when told. Often, if we were just driving with the bullie, we'd put blankets down and seatbelt him in the back seat. With a lab, hair and drool will be your problems. I know the bullie hair was a pain to clean out.
