Our Story
Hey- I'm Ben Proctor, owner and founder of BPRO Kennels. I was born and raised in Utah and grew up in a family that loved the outdoors. From hiking and camping to road trips and national parks, being outside was simply part of life. I was introduced to hunting by friends and family when I still pretty young. but bird hunting and bird dogs always seemed to pull at me a little stronger.
After high school I served a two year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Texas. When I returned home I jumped back into welding, working for several different fabrication shops. Those years gave me the opportunity to travel to nearly every part of the country, learning from a wide range of projects, people and environments along the way. About ten years ago, I started my own fab shop taking on everything from structural steel to high end stainless steel work and everything in between.
BPRO Kennels started as a passion project. I wanted a better dog box. Something stronger, lighter, quieter, and safer than what was available. Something id trust with my own dogs. I built the first ones for myself, and word spread the old fashion way. One box turned into another, then another. Before long, it became clear this was more than a side project.
Today, we build premium aluminum dog boxes for hunters and dog owners who care about quality, safety, and long term value. Every kennel is designed, welded, and finished with the same attention to detail I’d expect in my own truck. No shortcuts. No mass production. Just solid design, honest work, and proven construction.
We don’t build these to be trendy. We build them to last, through long miles, bad roads, rough weather, and years of use. Because your dogs deserve real protection, and your gear deserves to be secure.
This didn’t start as a business plan. The fact that it’s grown into what it is today is something we’re grateful for and something we work hard every day to live up to.
