Dakota Kennels

Dakota 283 was created to give people products that stand the test of time for their dogs. I love my dogs as much as anyone loves their dogs, it is a personal relationship not just a pet. Dakota 283 makes products that fit the dog culture perfectly. Our goal for everything we make is to have products that work in difficult environments. They are tools that should not be worried about, light and easy to transport while being tough when they need to be tough. People should not have to worry about the function of their products- Greg Cronkhite CEO/Creator

The D283 Hero Kennel is constructed of military grade materials developed and tested in the harshest environments. This kennel is perfect for those that have aggressive dogs or those who are just looking for an additional layer of security. Astounding for military, police, or hunting dogs, the D283 Hero Kennel has triple door locking capability, stainless steel door, and components that provide the ultimate in Unparalleled Pet Performance.

HERO Features:

• Stainless Steel Door that will stand the test of time.

• Lockable, keyed paddle latch will keep pets safe from theft.

• Heavy-duty stainless steel piano hinge eliminates droop over time.

• Great ventilation on the door enables the owner to still see the pet, but small enough that most dogs can not chew on the mesh.

• Heavy-duty north and south button lock hatch on door enables extra security for aggressive dogs. Fully Stainless steel, able to open/close with one hand

• Slammable door with no pin system or two-handed operations. Simply put the dog in the kennel and close the door with one hand. No sweat!

• Military-grade design and material that’s sturdy and impact resistant. Materials used in the most rugged designs in Military operations.
