We are a small, whānau-owned and operated business based in the sunny Eastern Bay of Plenty.

After many years working across various trades, Tony convinced Merekaha (wifey) to take on the opportunity that Quality Kennels offered. It was a chance to work from home after years of working abroad and domestically, return to his very first trade—fabrication, the one that kickstarted his career—and, of course, fulfil every man’s dream: to be his own boss!

Merekaha, on the other hand, is on a learning journey but currently manages all the administration tasks and occasionally treats the team to smoko.

As a whānau business, they’ve brought in extra hands from their family. Resident Koro Nick, affectionately known as “Nicky Knowz,” handles deliveries, while their eldest, Anaya, steps in as a workshop T/A and content creator.

Tony and Merekaha take immense pride in the quality kennels and runs they produce, as well as the service they provide to their customers.

Thank you for choosing Quality Kennels and, in doing so, supporting their family business.
