    In the neighborhood, I will put the windows down far enough they can smell the fresh air. Once we are out on busy streets/the highway, windows go up. I generally prefer a/c anyway.

    The only time I let my babies put their heads out the window is when I'm not driving , which is very rare, and I'm holding them. We have to be in the neighborhood or it doesn't happen. Anything can happen. My cousin lost his dog by it jumping out of the window. He was in the country visiting his parents. He was getting ready to leave, had the window down to tell them goodbye and Bubua, who was in his Daddy's lap, got excited and jumped out the window, Bubua had never tried to jump out before. His Daddy accidently ran him over. This happened three years ago and my cousin is still heartbroken. So if I don't have a firm hold on their collar they don't do it. If I'm alone with them they have the window on a small crack. If they want fresh air they can get it when we get out of the truck at home. Sorry, I may sound mean but, after Bubua I'm not taking chances with my babies. BTW, Bubua was 15 years old, his Daddy had him since he was born.

    NO! I don't even open the window. She is a small dog and she can fit through more gaps then bigger dogs. Its a rule not to let her. She LOVES it but it wayyyyyyyy to dangerous and make me and my family nervous.

    Snuggles loves it!! I only let her do it when I am holding on tight! I do not let her go for anything! Not on the highway though. just when we are on normal speeds. But she is good about these things. She is a dog that has the sense not to jump from tall heights! and she is so spoiled that she whines and begs whenever the window is not open!

    I don't allow my yorkies to put their heads out the windows (they're WAY too small and could easily fall out) but my french mastiff does. There's no way he could even fit out the car window, so there's no danger in it... He LOVES it with his big ole' jowls flappin in the wind

    I would be worried about damaging their eyes from falling debri.
