More Dogs Ride In A Ruff Land™ Than Any Other Performance Kennel! Introducing Ruff Land Gen II Performance Kennels! For 2022, we are introducing newly designed Ruff Land Kennels. The fact is that we’ve sold so many kennels in the past few years that our molds are beginning to show wear. So, we took this opportunity, in building all new molds, to make some refinements to our kennels. Most notably, all kennels now include handles that are recessed for stacking and accessorizing. Fit and finish is also much more uniform. And, we will be able to offer a wider variety of accessories many of which will be specifically designed to fit the various size kennels. Rest assured all GenII kennels will stack and couple with previous versions. Finally, we are also introducing a new standard color, Millstone! “I am not easily impressed with new equipment, but the simplicity of design and quality of manufacturing immediately caught my attention. I’ve owned and used dozens of portable kennels and have always looked for one that could withstand the abuse of trainers, handlers and guides. Finally, something new that should get dog trainers and hunters excited. Yes, its a variation of an old theme but, contrary to popular belief, a better mousetrap can be made. That variation is the new Ruff Land Kennel Dog Crate.”J. Munshaur, New Albany, IN Built tough, like a performance cooler! ToughOne™ One-Piece Roto-Molded Construction Ruff Land™ kennels feature one-piece roto-molded construction from UV-stabilized polyethylene. This means no assembly and no bolt-through ledge (as on two-piece kennels) which saves up to 3 inches of side space. It also makes for a much stronger kennel. And, because there are no seams, it is also much easier to clean. Finally, a Ruff Land kennel won’t crack even in extreme subzero weather. Stronger One-piece design means no assembly, much more strength. No Ledge No bolt-through ledge saves up to 3 inches of side space. Easier to Clean No seams (and removable doors) for easier cleaning. Built safe, like a performance race car! Race Car-Inspired Ruff-Flex™ Energy Dissipation Technology It’s an unfortunate fact that too many dogs are injured or killed every year in vehicle accidents. The truth is, traditional dog kennels are simply not designed to protect their four-legged passengers. Ruff Land kennels feature race car-inspired Ruff-Flex™ Energy Dissipation Technology, a series of design elements that dramatically improve the odds of your dog surviving an accident. Here’s how it works: Most kennels are simply not strong enough to protect your dog in an impact situation. Ruff Land’s one-piece roto-molded construction is extremely strong. The walls, top and floor on Ruff Land Kennels also have built-in flexibility which absorbs energy that would otherwise be transferred to your dog. This is where the “stiff”, two-walled plastic kennels, which claim to be safer, fail. They may not break, but when your dog hits the side of the kennel, there is no give like there is with a Ruff Land. The raised floor in a Ruff Land also serves to provide both strength and cushion as does the designed-in body crease around the middle of the kennel. Likewise, the composite doors on a Ruff Land kennel are remarkably strong and designed to absorb energy. Plus, they feature six locking lugs where other kennels have no more than four. Then there are the all-important heavy-duty tie-downs which you should always use. If your kennel is connected to your truck it can take advantage of your truck absorbing impact energy. But only if the tie downs are designed properly. Ruff Land tie downs are designed like the driver retention devices on a race car. There is nothing more important to NASCAR than driver safety. A key attribute to all safety efforts is building flexibility into the race car to absorb and dissipate energy. Ruff Land employs these same proven energy absorbing principles into their kennels, unlike other kennel brands that claim safety. If you want a kennel that is built for safety, buy a Ruff Land. Rick Noble, former NASCAR Safety Official What people are saying about Ruff Land Kennels I was in a car accident which left my car in 8 pieces. The fire department had to bend my RuffLand kennel to get my dog, Rosie, out. The fire department said Rosie would have died if she wasn’t in the kennel. Thank you so much for making such safe products for dogs Rosie I was rear-ended on the highway while transporting kennels (without dogs) on a hitch basket (my truck broke down). I was able to get the dents out by punching with my hand. The other crates I owned would have been demolished so this is a great testament to the durability of Ruff Land Kennels. Tom Crane I just wanted to let you know that, because of your safe and awesome kennels, a dear friend of ours and two Go Team Therapy dog members were able to walk away, without a scratch (both human and dogs), after being rear-ended by a car going over 100 miles an hour last night in Missouri. Jaclyn was doing a solo, 25-hour drive with her Maltipoo, Oliver, who was in his RuffLand kennel in the front of her minivan. But, it was a Belgian Malinois, Keres, in the back of her van, that took the brunt of the hit. Keres was pinned inside the van because of the crushing of the back door into the kennel but was 100% unharmed and very calm due to the enormous amount of training Jaclyn has done with her. The Ruff Land kennel not only saved Keres but it also prevented the minivan from collapsing in on Jaclyn and Oliver. So, I thank you for your wonderful product and I will be placing an order for a RuffLand kennel for my own dog. Happy Ruff Land Customer I bought two Ruffland kennels with both front and back doors because back in 2013 a drunk driver hit my car and the emergency workers had to take apart the Vari Kennels to get my dogs out. Today, a semi hit me. Thank God for the front and back doors because that’s the only way we could get the dogs out. Here are the pictures. Still have to find a way to get the Ruff Land kennels out of the car. Kimberly J. McNabb, SRA Built smart, with features that matter (NEW) Integrated Handles All Gen II RuffLand kennels come with integrated handles for easier transport and lifting. The handles are recessed for stacking and accessorizing. SureVent™ Tapered Wall Design The sidewalls on all Ruff Land kennels feature a series of vent holes. These vent holes ensure proper air circulation for your dog. Ruff Land took this one step further by tapering the side walls so that the vent holes will never get plugged, even if you slide the kennel up against a wall or some other flat sided object. UpSide™ Raised Floor Interior The interior floor in a Ruff Land kennel is raised so that debris and liquids that fall or spill off to the side are channeled away from your dog. This UpSide™ raised floor design also creates some flex for a built-in cushioning effect for your dog as it rides in your truck. StackRight™ Design The tops and bottoms of Ruff Land kennels all feature form-fit nesting that allows the kennels to fit together, making them stackable. Tie Down Attachments Take advantage of your truck’s absorbing impact energy with Ruff Land’s properly designed, heavy-duty tie-downs (optional). Working load – 800 lbs. SlantBack™ SUV-Friendly Design (optional) saves space by fitting snugly up against the seat in an SUV Select Ruff Land kennels feature a SlantBack™ design, an angled back end that fits perfectly up against the canted second seat on most SUVs. Built for you, with your door system of choice Full-Bore™ Double Door Design The door system on Ruff Land™ kennels can be configured to your liking with doors on both ends or on one end and either side. Our handy side doors allow you to put the kennel lengthwise on a back seat and still give you an available access door without having to remove the kennel from your truck, SUV or car. All RuffLand™ Kennel Doors Are Unique In Six Ways: They are constructed of an ultra-tough glass-filled composite. They’re ambidextrous and can swing either way. They feature a no-bite grid pattern that precludes dogs from chewing. Rattle-less (if you’ve owned other kennels you know just how annoying this can be). They feature an easy-to-operate latch with a durable, secure latch cover (unlike other kennels where the latch cover can fall off causing the latch mechanism to fall apart). They will never rust.
