Just curious really as to what cars you have for showing - fitting all your stuff in etc.

We have a Hyundai Santa Fe , It is really spacious which is what we need with a giant breed . Good on fuel too!

Ooooh snap!  Same as Cani1 we have a Santa Fe now, previously a Landrover Freelander, the Santa Fe is fantastically economical compared to the Landy and bags and bags more room.
We picked our two Staffords up from the airport in it in their 2 large wooden crates that they were flown over in from the UK, both crates fitted in with ease and room to spare also!

Definitely need space but only have a toy breed although show 2 together :-)

We use a Mondeo estate for distance shows with a larger breed than yours.  We previously had a Focus estate which was even roomier in the back than the Mondeo.  Both are great on fuel, reliable, not too pricey for models with all the gadgets etc. so don't sacrifice human comforts for creature ones LOL.

I have a peugoet partner, get everything in, move the seats up or down, great on diesel too

We've recently got a Ford Tourneo Connect, brilliant van/car. Only problem is it's a bit too tall for most multi storey car packs, but great for my dogs and all their equipment.

Galaxy (diesel). Love it.

Land rover Discovery for two adult humans and five medium size dogs(Ford Maverick two door SWB was too small for them all).

I have three in a 42 inch cage in the boot area and the other two tethered on the back seat.  Our belongings go in the foot well. 

This works better than folding the seats as the dogs don't get any extra room and the space in the foot well for stuff is then non existent.  It is also harder to get dogs in and out the side doors if the seats are folded.

It is good for towing oru twin axle 23 foot Caravan.

We use two first the freelander and second is the alfa 156 sportswagon, both have room for our girl and another dally plus room for all the show gear. Wouldn't like to try and get 3 in either though.

Citreon Berlingo van.  Mainly due to showing and also because I used to do water trainnig and gundog training with my dogs.  I've not physically been able to do this this year, but hopefully in the New Year I'll be able to start again.
If I wanted a Poodle, OES, TT or IWS I would have bought one. SWD's shd. be natural and rustic. No
