One of the most common questions I get from first-time RuffLand buyers is: "Which door configuration should I get?" It's a great question—and one that genuinely matters. The door configuration you choose affects how easily you can access your dog, how the kennel fits in your vehicle, and how flexible your setup can be as your needs change

Let's be real—if you're shopping for a premium dog kennel, you're probably overwhelmed by options. RuffLand, Gunner, Dakota 283, wire crates, cheap plastic crates... the list goes on. And everyone claims their product is the best.

So you've decided to invest in a RuffLand kennel—smart choice. But if you're like most first-time buyers, you probably have questions. Which size do I need? What accessories are essential? How do I set it up for maximum safety?
