Dog Stories

The idea for Gunner Kennels was conceived in a duck blind and inspired by my own best friend, Gunner. Like all dogs he has one mission in life: to please his owner. I’ve always felt uneasy traveling with him in traditional plastic crates – and was tired of replacing flimsy ones year after year. Watching Gunner work in the field made me realize I wanted to produce a heavy-duty kennel with as much drive as he gave when retrieving. I wanted to build the world’s best dog crate.

Watch the Rated Red video to learn more about Gunner Kennels’ inspiration and what drives us:
