NFR Dog Kennel Recommendations

[Little Fork]

I’m looking for recommendations for good dog kennels for the back of a pickup. I’d like my dog to stay relatively warm and dry while on the road in the rain and cold. There seem to be a lot of well-made options but wanted to know if any of you had found a manufacturer that you particularly like. I thank you and my dog Paul thanks you.

I have a Dakota 283 crate. Really stout, very heavy and can be strapped down in the bed of the truck. Have a 75 lb lab and use the XL. Use it as a sleeping crate so full of pads when go upland hunting. They are spendy, but sometimes they have scratch and dent sales and you can get a good deal. The downside for me is it’s heavy so moving it in/out of a truck has become problematic. But it is one stout crate.

Unparalleled Pet Protection

Dakota 283 offers unparalleled pet protection in the design of dog kennels, dog crates, food and water storage, and the tailgate lifestyle.

I use a Ruff Land kennels for my two English setters. I am an upland bird hunter so I'm out there on the highways all the time. My dogs run 50lbs and 43lbs and I use the intermediate size. These are a huge cut above the typical dog crates you see popping up on Craigslist and FB Marketplace, but they aren't overkill like some really expensive kennels. They offer a lot of protection for your dogs and not nearly as heavy as most other high-end crates. Here's the link: https://rufflandkennels.com/product-category/kennels/
