I think a large snow may weigh more than an80 lb dog...?, I usually try to keep large snow accumulation off top. In central MO we have not had much to test out this winter...(grateful) Jay P near St Louis, MO

I have the 6" thick cover, and it very strong. I could probably walk across it at 170lbs. I would guess that extended canine traffic would probably eventually put holes in the cover, which would allow water to get inside the foam insert, and then its life is shortened by it becoming waterlogged.

I have a 4"-6" top that has held up to 10" of snow at a time. It's been a stormy winter in New England, and it shows no sign of wear so far. I'm not sure how that translates to dog weght or abuse, but hope that helps.

My dog is around 80 lbs and it's her favorite place to lay. No problems so far.

I can't remember if I found that info on their website or just asked their customer service representative. I had a lot of questions also, based on the multitude of configurations available, and they answered all of them.

Not exactly sure. It is sturdy but I would check with manufacture on weight specs.

I wouldn't put a dog over 5lbs in it. if you want the Cadillac of all bike baskets for a great doggie ride get the wald 157 giant bike basket. it holds both my dogs for a total of 17lbs. doesn't work on front suspension fork bikes though. you can get that wald through amazon too

I second Sigmond's reply. Mine holds 2 small mutts - together weighing about 35 lbs. I wouldn't "push it" with any more than that, though.

I am not sure of the weight capacity for the basket, but my 16 pound dog rides everywhere with me in it. I hope this helps with your decision. So far I haven't been let down by my purchase of this basket, especially since I had tried 2 others prior to this one.

Think it says it can handle 55lbs. I've used it with my 26 lb dog in it and it eventually failed going around a corner with the bottom brackets bending from stress*. I bet with a more solid and stable mass (bags, books, boom box, Buju Banton) it would handle things better. *no dog was hurt in the writing of this review)

Not sure, I would not stand on it. But my 40 pound dog likes lying on it. It sturdy.

I have a 10 pound Bichon and she has never been able to push it over. Very easy to put together. After you get it together you fit it in the space it will be snugged. I like it.

It holds my 40 lb dog. But once he tried to jump out because he saw a group of kids and dogs, and he took the whole bike down. Now we use two leashes to hold him in, not just the one included.

I don't think is strong enough to hold a dog that large. Look at a large wire kennel cage.Dan

We have 2 70 lb dogs and tie them to this. it's held up very well. my only suggestion is be sure to put it far enough in the ground and be sure it's in there solid (if the ground is wet there is some play in it, but it's held up so far!

It is very sturdy, but I cannot answer your question. My dog is under 50 pounds and it easily accomodates his weight.

It's not meant to hold that much, but I will say that IMHO, I believe it COULD hold that much. It is a very sturdy carrier -- I have been very impressed so far. Having said that, my dog is only 10 pounds, but there is plenty of room in there so I often carry extra clothing, a lunch, an extra water bottle, etc. I've had no problems whatsoever. Knock on wood.

My two dogs weigh 7 lbs and 14 lbs. I would think a bigger dog could use it as my dogs have plenty of room on it.

It is very sturdy, but you may not be able to fit a 25 lbs dog in it. It should be able to hold a 15 lbs dog.

Yes. My poodle is about 15 pounds and she can put her feet up on it but can't get over it. If they are jumpers they might could get over it but it is pretty high.

My dog is 72 lbs and has room to move. I'd say 80 lbs should be fine. Don't expect to close the top though. At 72 lbs my bulldog/boxer mix has his head poking up through the opening like a giraffe through a minicooper sunroof! As far as weight and hills etc, its actually not that bad. And I'm no athlete.

It might-if your dog will not try to jump over it or push it down. I have used it that way when our dog was a puppy and couldn't jump over it or knock it over. Now she is big and would push it right over!
