Hero Kennel

Molded Handle | Locking Door | Drain Hole

The Dakota 283 Hero Kennel is purpose-built for working dogs, originally crafted to meet the needs of military and police K9s. Made entirely in the USA from one seamless piece of rugged, military-grade material, this kennel is engineered to withstand extreme conditions while keeping pets safe and secure. Its durable construction ensures long-lasting performance, whether in the field or at home.

Despite its toughness, the Hero Kennel remains lightweight and easy to handle. It’s ideal for aggressive dogs or any pet owner seeking a higher level of protection. The stainless-steel door features a triple-locking mechanism that can be operated with a single hand. Additional security comes from top and bottom pin latches and a lockable paddle latch, providing peace of mind against accidental openings or theft.

Designed with practicality in mind, molded-in handles on each side make lifting and transporting the kennel simple. These handles also serve as tie-down points, allowing the crate to be secured in vehicles with ease. Small, strategically placed ventilation holes maintain airflow while preventing chewing, and a rear drainage hole allows for quick and easy cleaning.
