Due to the fact that Ruff Land does not have personal knowledge of your pet we prefer not to recommend sizes of kennels. We feel consulting with your trainer or vet would give you the best results for sizing. Thank you for your understanding.
Ruff FLEX Technology
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™.
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.
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.
2-Way Door
They are ambidextrous and can be adjusted to swing either way.
No Bite Grid Pattern Design
They feature a no-bite grid pattern that precludes dogs from chewing.
Rattle-FREE
They will not rattle (if you’ve owned other kennels you know just how annoying this can be).
SlantBack™ SUV-Friendly Design
Select Ruff Land™ kennels feature a SlantBack™ design, an angled back end that fits perfectly up against the canted second seat on most SUVs.

Lindsey W –
I have a 2018 Hyundai Elantra (smaller sedan), and I know that a large would be best for my dog; however, I am unsure if a large will fit in my car (width wise). The opening for my sedan door is about exactly the width of the widest part of the crate so it would be a tight fit theoretically.
Does anyone have experience fitting the large size crate into a smaller sedan?

Tricia Franke –
I just bought a 2019 toyota rav4 & the xl fit width wise but did not fit the height, I downsized to the large and it fits great! I was lucky enough to find someone in the area that had a ruff land kennel so I could try a large kennel in my car to check the fit before I ordered the large size. Maybe you could try to find someone in your area that has one you could try before ordering?

My father and I split the cost of two of these kennels for our chocolate lab upland dogs and they have been a solid, dependable part of the care that goes into owning bird dogs! We’ve used and abused these kennels, constantly transferring them from vehicle to storage, house, etc. and they have held up to the task. Easy to clean, safe and comfortable for the dogs, the list can go on! These kennels are a great product and I would recommend them to anyone looking to invest in a solid, sturdy movable home for your pup!

Vincent, What size did you go with for your lab? We have a 4 month old lab who I want to be able to grow into her kennel. She will use it daily as her “crate”. I’ve considered L and XL

Ann –
Vincent, I would go with the large for 65lbs. I just downgraded to a L from an XL for car travel. My female malamute is 66lbs and the L is a little less comfortable for her (nose to base of tail she is 34.5″, and 24″ at the withers), however, she is a lot safer in the car in a snugger size, should we ever get in an accident. Just for experimentation, I tried her in my 38lb spaniel’s intermediate, and I would never ask her to stay in there for more than 15 minutes. She can’t turn around in without noticeable effort, and she cannot stand up in it at all. I hope that helps.
