Made in Montana!

Stryker Ridge Kennel got its name from the surrounding Stryker Ridge and Stryker Peak in  Stryker, Montana!

Situated on the Whitefish Range in the Stillwater State Forest, we are also encompassed by the Kootenai National Forest on the west and Glacier National Forest and Park  on the east.  The views and terrain are breathtaking!
