Shopping around and these kennels look pretty durable. Roto molded and have several accessories that look useful. What size would yall recommend for a 70lb dog?

They are some tough SOB's I also like how you can open the door from either side.

Yeah that's an option to have 2 doors. They also have attachments like handles, top storage, and tie down spots which could be useful.

I have one. Wouldn't buy another. The door broke and I tried forever to get in touch with the dude to buy another. Talked to him like three times and could never let him to sell me a new door. It was really weird. So now I have an expensive arse kennel with a busted door.

They're also heavy as hell so if you get one, get a good cover with handles.

You couldn't order the door online?

I tried. Then he called me and told me he was out and would let me know when he had extras. Like two months later he emailed me and told me he had put doors for sale on the site. I ordered one and my payment never processed. Called him and he said he was out again. I told him to let me know when he got more. He never did. I called a couple times after that and emailed. He never responded. I gave up and put some wire on my door to keep it shut.

Also, I have a large and my dog is 60lbs. It's pretty tight. If she were any bigger I'd need a size up.

Dang I was thinking the XL was huge. Do they sell these locally or is it pretty much only online?

I had one of these ,fiber-lite, when I had my lab. I am pretty sure I had an LB-1. Got it at an outdoor show for $225 or so, but that was 12 years ago.

Bourg, gauges kennel is an xl, he has plenty of room. It's a petco kennel, serves it's purpose. Gunna get a cover for it after season. He weighs 75 so xl is perfect.

I ordered mine from Gun Dog Supply. Never seen them locally.

FWIW it performs as advertised I guess. I'm abusive on everything I own related to hunting and the kennel itself has held up fine. It stays in the back of my truck often. Always covered though. I'm just pissed about the door and weirded out by how the dude handled it.

They are pretty awesome and durable....except the dang door. I called and asked if they would redesign it, but I never followed up. The handles that you buy to put on top can break, but are dang handy. I'd buy another even with the flaws.
