2024 Gundog Central Top Kennels
Congratulations to Classic Gundogs, Creekwood Kennels, Idaho Hunting Dogs and Stout-on Point Companions who were selected as last years top kennels. Each kennel will be awards a plaque they can proudly display at their kennel, along with free featured ad credits. The 2024 top kennel award was based on the number of positive reviews each kennel received.
Gundog Central Update
We’re making changes to the Top Kennels and Breeder awards program on Gundog Central for 2024. In the past, these awards we based on the number of ads you placed, how often you were active on the site and whether you had any bad reviews post during the year. We’re changing our algorithm to incorporate the number of positive reviews posted during the year as the primary metric. To be eligible for the award this year, you must have an active Kennel Account or a Breeder Account, you must have placed an ad on Gundog Central during the year and you must have at least one client submitted positive testimonial on the site during the year. Previously we awarded a badge that could be displayed on your Gundog Central profile, this year you’re sending out real trophies/ plaques that can be displayed at place of business. This is not a participation award, only a few trophies will be awarded. You can increase your chances of winning this year’s award by encouraging your clients to submit a testimonial for your kennel on Gundog Central.
