Can you do a size comparison once you get your large gunner kennel? Can you show your dog in the intermediate gunner kennel and then the large? I’m contemplating between the two and I’d love to see a side by side comparison. I have a 7 month mal and she’s pretty big already. Thanks for all your videos.
They look great. The fact that they got a 5-star crash test rating makes them worth every penny for sure. I had a feeling it’s a little too small for Riot. He’s gonna be more comfy in a bigger one 🙂
Yes, they are super safe which was the biggest selling point for me. And Riot definitely needed the large lol They are a bit snug but I think they are supposed to be... its kind of like a baby car seat. Lol
Hello how big is Riot? I have a 55lbs female Mal and also a 65lbs Male Mal and Gunner recommends getting the intermediate. I’m using them for in the back of my truck when I go to the training field and that’s really when they will be in there. They free roam in the house but I would like them to feel comfortable at the field as well while waiting for their turn. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for the content, can’t wait for my pup’s GK to arrive.. quick question, the performance pad looks and sounds pretty solid. Do you feel like there’s any “give” or softness at all? I can’t decide if I should get my dog one for his GK. Thanks!
It’s not soft and barely seems any better than laying on the kennel floor. But something is better than nothing and my dogs can have soft bedding or they rip it apart.
I have had a gunner crate for the past year with my big boy malinois. I totally love it, except for one thing. If I don't lock the top and bottom switches. My guy can get himself out the door.
My Vizsla also gets himself out of the Gunner easily without the locks switched. Although with the lock switched he injured himself and eventually chewed his way enough to bend the plastic door, popping it open, wish Gunner made a metal liner for the door like some other brands. So far only solid metal commercial style kennels work for him. For your knowledge crash test is that the dog will stay in the crate in an accident not that the dog will not get hurt.
GSD Bear They are huge which is kind of a drawback for me since they won’t fit in my Jeep with my seats up :/ But to sacrifice size may sacrifice the safety of the kennel. So I guess the good outweighs the bad 😁
Wolverine4x4 They have sizing info in their website and their is also a Facebook group dedicated to helping people figure out the right size for their dogs. They are meant to be a snug fit for safety purposes. I’m general though, if you have a GSD I would go ahead and purchase their largest crate.... 😳 I sent back 2 of my intermediate for the large (which is the biggest size they come in)
thanks for the video! i just ordered the intermediate size and feel like the large might be the way to go. Did they like the larger one way better my mal is probably right on fence of course lol
kenneth clay I got the intermediate size but I am exchanging two of them for the larger size. Riot looked uncomfortable to me. It seemed a bit too snug for his liking. So we are waiting on the larges to arrive!
@@MaligatorMom what about if it’s a 2yr old? I’ll definitely have a way better quality one next months as just wondering if it’ll be ok till then. Thank you!
How much was riots weight at the time ? I wanna get a inter size for my 53lb somone medium size femal mal but i dont want too small and large exterior is huge
Do you use these for inside the home, for travel, or both? I'm debating whether or not to have it for dual purpose use (home and travel) My Mal is 5 months old, has outgrown his current crate. His parents are both large Malinois so Im expecting him to be large as well. Thought since its time to upgrade might as well get one of these for him.
Both but it’s not easy.. bulky and heavy. The Large size has wheels on the back so you can move it a little easier but it stills weighs a ton. The intermediate has no wheels and doesn’t roll. But they are the safest crates on the road to travel with...
Does anyone know anyone who has a small used gunner for a puppy? I don’t want to buy two new ones. At a $1000 for the intermediate and another $600 for a small for 2-3 months. Thats way too much. Anyway used small anyone?
Thank you for this. I watch all your videos. I was going to go with the intermediate but my mal is on the bigger side so it is good to know that I should go with the large for sure.
Great video!!!! I love when you say splurge purchase and I’m sitting back looking at your jeep thinking no way lol
Exactly what I was thinking 😂 whats this Jeep model? Looks super cool

Great kennel. I just ordered mine a few days ago. Not to mention you’re intoxicating to look at. bonus!
What a great review. I'm seriously looking at getting a gunner kennel for lucy. This was a big help thank you
Awesome! Definitely recommend these crates!
Great choice. We’ve got 2 for our GS. We’re super satisfied. Only con is the weight and price.
They are a little spendy but I don’t think I’ll ever have to buy another crate in my lifetime! 😳

Hi, are you still using these kennels and do you still recommend them?

@@MaligatorMom Gotcha, thanks for letting me know! Might go for the ortho pad instead then.
I have had a gunner crate for the past year with my big boy malinois. I totally love it, except for one thing. If I don't lock the top and bottom switches. My guy can get himself out the door.
Patrick Carney Wow!!! He can?!! That’s a Malinois for ya lol 😆

Who is the manufacturer of your inside dog kennels, the big ones?
Thank you for sharing! Great information to know. I can't wait to see the new addition! 😁
Cindy Thompson I just got home with her last night! I’m going live with her on Sunday morning on TikTok @ 9am central time. 😁
@@MaligatorMom great!! 😁
Hi! Are you able to put the back seats up with the intermediate?
They look amazing, wish I had the space in my car for one of these bad boys!!
GSD Bear They are huge which is kind of a drawback for me since they won’t fit in my Jeep with my seats up :/ But to sacrifice size may sacrifice the safety of the kennel. So I guess the good outweighs the bad 😁
Those crates look awesome!! Might have to get for Ryka! Love the graphics too!
Ryka says, “Pleeeeease mom!” 🥺 lol
Hi, are they shipping to EU too?
I have a 55lb lab mix that has broken out of every cheap crate. do you recommend gunner large or impact crate?
Can you get all three crates in your Jeep?
I want to get that kennel for my German Shepher but dont know how to measure her size!

Did you use the Gunner Kennel for air travel?
thanks for the video! i just ordered the intermediate size and feel like the large might be the way to go. Did they like the larger one way better my mal is probably right on fence of course lol
I went with the large but Fury is in an intermediate
Does the intermediate kennel fit inside the cargo space with the seats up?
I'm so gutted that gunner wont dispatch to the uk! I really want one!
I’ve been looking at these kennels for a while now but I can’t figure out what size I might need for my Malinois. What size did you get??
kenneth clay I got the intermediate size but I am exchanging two of them for the larger size. Riot looked uncomfortable to me. It seemed a bit too snug for his liking. So we are waiting on the larges to arrive!
Maligator Mom This was very helpful considering I was looking at getting the intermediate size. Thank you !
Does the airline accept these kind of crate?
These looks awesome! 💙
Sarah Reay-Young Thanks! Lots a great little products in here that don’t break the bank lol
Are the lower priced ones ok in the mean time though? Definitely going for a higher quality crate, but it’s going to be about a month and a half.
Definitely! I raise my puppies in varying sizes of cheap plastic crates 👍🏼
@@MaligatorMom what about if it’s a 2yr old? I’ll definitely have a way better quality one next months as just wondering if it’ll be ok till then. Thank you!
Will one of the intermediates fit sideways on top of your backseats (behind the crate you put in the back)? You can let the dog out the side door.
Nope lol
Hello, Just wondering how Storm fits in the Intermediate since she's almost full grown?
She doesn’t. I had to send it back to get a large. Only Fury fits in the intermediate because she’s so small. She’s 40lbs and she’s short lol
Do you create any of your dogs inside the home because if there were going to be comfortable mine would need the large models.
Yes I do! And yes, the large is more comfortable for Riot.
How much was riots weight at the time ? I wanna get a inter size for my 53lb somone medium size femal mal but i dont want too small and large exterior is huge
Honestly it’s less about weight and more about height and length. They have dimensions and measurement recommendations on their website 👍🏼
@@MaligatorMom i was kinda thinking that !
Thanks !
Great video!!
Price increased? Intermediate is now 699

Nice Jeep too!
Love the Jeep
I just don’t like the plastic doors , my Malinois might chew right through those
Can these dogs be kept as pets? Not saying that I will just people say they NEED a job!

Ok thanks :)

Awesome, glad I could help and definitely get the large! It’s only a $100 difference to get the large so I swapped mine out :)
Very similar to lucky duck kennel
Here are some cheaper way better alternatives: Schmidt Hundeboxen Heyermann Würth Wt Metall
First step to be a maligator mom is to be rich
Riot is so cute 😫😫😫😫😫😫😭😭😭😭
Aww thank you Albert!! He’s my best boy 😉
