Heritage & History
RuffLand Performance Kennels (formerly Ruff Tough Kennels) was founded to serve the working dog market — specifically bird hunters and field trial competitors who need a kennel that can survive the rigors of being loaded and unloaded from trucks, bounced over dirt roads, and exposed to weather extremes across hunting seasons. Conventional wire crates and basic plastic kennels fail this test; RuffLand was built to pass it.
The company chose Tea, South Dakota as its manufacturing location, reflecting the brand's roots in the agricultural and sporting community of the upper Midwest. RuffLand kennels are explicitly marketed to the hunting dog community — a market that demands domestic manufacturing, crash-tested safety ratings, and the kind of durability that wire crates and imported plastic alternatives cannot provide.
Made in Tea, South Dakota
RuffLand manufactures its kennels using one-piece roto-molded polyethylene construction — a process that produces a seamless, structurally continuous shell with no joints or seams where the kennel could crack under impact. The one-piece construction is fundamentally stronger than the snap-together two-piece plastic kennels that dominate the mass market, and RuffLand's crash testing documentation supports this with engineering data rather than marketing claims.
The kennel line covers intermediate through extra-large sizes with the StackRight design that allows multiple kennels to be stacked safely in truck beds and trailers without sliding or shifting. The raised floor channels debris and liquids away from the dog, and the ventilation design provides adequate airflow for working dogs recovering from exercise. For hunters who put their dogs in harm's way on every hunt and need a kennel that can protect them in a collision, RuffLand's South Dakota-made kennels provide USA-manufactured protection built to the standards working dogs deserve.
