Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever are thrilled to announce Ruff Land Kennels as a renewing national sponsor and the “Official Kennel of The Habitat Organization” for an eighth consecutive year. The partnership provides Ruff Land Kennels a wide assortment of avenues to reach dog-owning members of the nation’s leading upland charities, while delivering direct financial support for the habitat our bird dogs love to roam.
“Ruff Land Kennels continues to be an industry leader in the hunting dog world, and we’re thrilled as always to continue our partnership — supporting both bird dog owners and upland habitat across the country,” said Chris Kalis, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s vice president of corporate partnerships. “Purchasing a Ruff Land kennel not only ensures your dog will be safe and secure on your travels each fall, but also that the upland habitat you visit continues to thrive.”
Ruff Land kennels are built for extreme performance and safety — featuring one-piece roto-molded construction from UV-stabilized polyethylene. They’re also made with no bolt-through ledge, saving up to three inches of side space over conventional models and making for a much stronger kennel.
“When we say we are proud sponsors of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever, we truly mean it,” said Ruff Land CEO Alisa Turner. “The more I've learned over the past eight years about both organizations, and all that is being done in the name of conservation, habitat and building something for future generations, the more I've wanted to highlight our partnership. It is an honor to be the national kennel sponsor.”
In addition to marketing in the Pheasants Forever Journal of Upland Conservation, Quail Forever Journal, and the organization’s online channels, the following highlights key components of the relationship:
- National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic – As a gold sponsor for the 2025 National Pheasant Fest & Quail Classic in Kansas City, Missouri, Ruff Land Kennels will have a large presence on the show floor of Kansas City Convention Center on March 7-9, 2025.

About Ruff Land Kennels
Ruff Land kennels are designed and manufactured in Tea, South Dakota, in the heart of the world’s best pheasant country. Ruff Land was started by hunters who wanted a kennel that made their life easier as dog owners, while also making life easier and safer for their favorite hunting companions. Today, more dogs ride in a Ruff Land than any other performance kennel.
