Ruff Land, Intermediate Kennel, Single Door
INTRODUCING THE NEW RUFF LAND GEN II PERFORMANCE KENNELS!
Ruff Land Performance Kennels is introducing their new GEN II Performance Kennels. Because of their immense popularity, Ruff Land has invested in all-new molds that have allowed them to make some quality refinements to the newly designed GEN II kennels. All of Ruff Land's kennels now include recessed handles for stacking and accessorizing. Additionally, the new GEN II kennels will stack and couple with their previous versions.
Build 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.
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.
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 whereas other kennels have no more than four. Then there is 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.
Built smart, with features that matter!
- Stackright Design - The tops and bottoms of Ruff Land kennel all feature form-fit nesting that allows 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 the SUV. Select Ruff Land kennels to feature SlantBack design, an angled back end that fits perfectly up against the canted second seat on most SUVs.
- (NEW) Integrated Handles - All GEN II Ruff Land 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 also creates some flex for a built-in cushioning effect for your dog as it rides in your truck.
The intermediate Ruff Land Performance Kennel was the very first kennel that Ruff Land (Ruff Tough) manufactured. Designed by outdoorsmen and endorsed by celebrities, this intermediate dog kennel sets the standard for built-to-last intermediate-sized dog kennels. Vent hole patterns differ among styles, please see photos displayed for the standard (1 3/8" hole size), with two finger holes in the back. The intermediate dog kennel can be stacked and customized with the add-on options.
Please note - the double door version will add 1 1/2" to the normal dimensions!

Gen II kennels use a one-piece roto-molded shell from UV-stabilized polyethylene, reducing crevices that trap dirt and simplifying cleaning after field work. The raised interior floor keeps debris and moisture away from the dog and aids quicker drying between hunts. Sidewall vents maintain airflow, while the tapered design minimizes plug risk when the kennel rests against walls or gear. The integrated handles are recessed for stacking and lifting, reducing snag hazards during transport and when loading into a vehicle or blind. Form-fit nesting enables secure stacking to save space in transport, and optional tie-down attachments let you secure the kennel to a truck bed or trailer for travel over uneven ground. The SlantBack option adapts to SUV seating arrangements, while the overall footprint remains compact for mid-sized breeds during upland training, field trials, or waterfowl work. Exterior dimensions are 30 1/2 in long by 20 in wide with a 23 1/4 in exterior height; interior space is about 30 by 19 1/2 by 22 in, and the kennel weighs roughly 20 lb. A five-year warranty backs its durability, and routine care—rinse, air dry, and store dry—helps maintain performance in active field use. Proper storage and routine cleaning help ensure consistent performance in field work.
