Bigger than an '03 Passat Variant?
My dane is only 4 months old right now - I don't know how big he is gonna get. He fits just fine in our Passat GLX 4MO wagon right now. Is the allroad trunk bigger than the passat?

You'll probably run into headroom problems
(or rather, the dog will) because of the angle of the rear hatch -- it's more raked than that of the Passat. If you put the rear seats down, or at least half, then I think you'd be okay.

Re: Giant breed dog owners
Yes it will. My bitch is 36 inches at the withers and she fits in the back. It's pretty cozy but doable. For longer trips, she greatly prefers having the rear seats folded down. Fortunately the pet net still works in this position.
In my old A4 she used to rub her back all over the headliner which made for a cleaning nightmare.

mine is a pretty big german shepard/akita mix
and headroom is really only the only problem.

Also search for my earlier posting about the hatch entry-way and my pup's issues hopping in.

I agree, but think there is a little more room back there than in the passat
also like veloAR's idea, bring the dog to the dealer, or on a testdrive stop by home to see if the pup fits.
