Due to the fact that Ruff Land Kennels 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-Less
They will not rattle as much (if you’ve owned other kennels you know just how annoying this can be).

This kennel is solid. I like all of the features in the door, vents, raised center of the bottom for water shedding, it is all great! I had to adjust the install by bracing the bottom to use four tie down straps with the tie down kit because of a lock box I have for all the SAR gear.
My bloodhound is a very tall bloodline and he weighs 96lbs. He is able to stand comfortably or lay down in this kennel. He is able to turn around although it is slightly tight in the turn but I like that. It keeps him from moving around too much. I will be keeping this kennel for many years to come. I have activated notifications of replies to this review, let me know if you have any bloodhound fit questions.

I had to use a unique install because of a lock box I have in my truck. I used two 14 inch sections of 6×6 that I had laying around to make it work just right. Great secure install! I will update if anything goes wrong but so far its 5 stars!
This is for a tall 96lb bloodhound. He is able to stand comfortably, lay down fully, and turn-arounds are tight, but doable, for him.

My dogs safety and comfort is very, very important to me and these crates are great. The dogs really like them, and I love their safety features, thoughtful design, ease of cleaning and good looks. I compete with my dogs and we travel a lot; so glad I found RuffLand! Customer service is excellent, had a door damaged in shipping and they were super nice and responsive.

The picture for the X-Large with the double door shows only 1 row of vent holes on the top and bottom of each side, but almost every other picture on your site shows the kennels with 2 rows of vent holes on the top and bottom per side. When ordering do I need to purchase extra ventilation holes to have those 2 rows per side or is that standard? I would worry about keeping adequate airflow in our climate with just one row. Thank you.

Steve, our kennels are one of the most durable on the market, however, if a dog is willing to get out and is known to bite/scratch they can damage the kennel. You can check out our warranty on our website. In this specific occasion it would not be covered under our warranty

We don’t recommend sizes as we do not personally know your dog. We recommend going to a vet or a trainer and seeing what they would recommend. Most labs fall in a Large or XL. It just depends on what you are using it for and what you are comfortable with putting your dog in. You can go with a smaller size when traveling but would recommend going with the larger one for more room if it is for at-home use or for sleep

Also are they leakproof? Do they come with ventilation holes at the rear? Or would I need to add this on?
Can I attach handles by drilling into the sides?
Do you ship to Mexico?

People have flown with our kennels before, however, we recommend getting ahold of the airline you will be flying with to see what they require. They wont leak. They come with 2 vent holes on the back (you can pay more to get some added) You would need to purchase some extra washers to get those handles attached to the side of the kennel. We could ship to Mexico, however shipping cost would be hundreds of dollars

I’m giving this crate 4 out of 5 stars. The crate is well made, visually pleasing and the perfect size for my little dude. The crate is perfect for home crating and on the go. However I can’t give this product 5 stars, the crate is advertised as rattle free, the crate I received rattles. Also the handles on top prevent the tray from sitting flush on the top. So I have to remove the handles and put them back on often which is annoying.
Other than that though the crate is solid and well priced.

I purchased a large kennel a few weeks for my 7 month old German Shepherd. He’s a strong boy and grew faster than expected. I contacted Ruffland kennels to see about exchanging for a XL. I spoke to McKenzie who was going to exchange my kennel with no issues. After speaking for a few minutes I mentioned how I would be at the outdoor show in Pennsylvania this weekend and noticed ruffland would be there. She spoke to warehouse Manager Pete who said I could bring the kennel to the show to exchange. Not only did this save me time and money it showed me they value their customers. My large was exchanged this morning after speaking with to Managers Pete and Alisa who both were super helpful and great personalities. The staff is great to speak too, the kennel lasted a 65 lbs Shepherd with high energy. They knew I was a veteran and thanked me for my service. I would highly recommend this company and products. Outstanding customer service!!
