Dogcart
A
dogcart (or
dog-cart) is a light
horse-drawn vehicle, originally designed for sporting shooters, with a box behind the driver's seat to contain one or more retriever dogs. The dog box could be converted to a second seat. Later variants included :
- A one-horse carriage, usually two-wheeled and high, with two transverse seats set back to back. It was known as a "bounder" in British slang (not to be confused with the cabriolet of the same name). In India it was called a "tumtum" (possibly an altered form of "tandem").
- A French version having four wheels and seats set back to back was a dos-à-dos (French for "back-to-back").
- An American four-wheeled dogcart, having a compartment for killed game, was called a "game cart".
