Rated Red: The Gunner Story

The idea for Gunner Kennels was conceived in a duck blind and inspired by my own best friend, Gunner. Like all dogs he has one mission in life: to please his owner. I’ve always felt uneasy traveling with him in traditional plastic crates – and was tired of replacing flimsy ones year after year. Watching Gunner work in the field made me realize I wanted to produce a heavy-duty kennel with as much drive as he gave when retrieving. I wanted to build the world’s best dog crate.

Breed Profile: Spinone Italiano

The Spinoni Italiani isn’t a breed you see a lot out in the field, but its Old World charm and versatility make it one of the more interesting sporting dogs. Known to be social canines, they hold a naturally positive and endearing demeanor. And though they aren’t the most common breed in the states, maybe they should be: these family friendly pups translate well into the field and hold a medium energy level (though they can kick it into high gear when needed). Let’s take a closer look at what makes this breed stand out.
