Like some of the best stories ours begins with a dog.
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, and that's 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.
Since that morning I’m proud to say that GUNNER has helped keep thousands of pets safe on the road – because every detail of this crate is designed and tested in real conditions, for the invested dog owner. Man's Best Friend deserves MAN'S BEST KENNEL®.
-Addison Edmonds, Founder
It has been a whirlwind of a ride over the last seven years for the Edmonds family since they first created GUNNER. In fact, they reference the age of our company by the age of their oldest daughter, as they both were introduced to the world on the same day in March of 2015.
Though there has been no shortage of trials along the way, we’re grateful they were inspired by a dog named Gunner to create Man’s Best Kennel.
Today marks the one-year anniversary of his passing.
To commemorate Gunner and celebrate the life of the dog who changed the way we think about pet safety, our team created Thank You, Gunner.
So, Gunner, here’s to you and to continuing to improve the lives of dogs across the US and beyond.
