Mud River Dog Accessories

About Mud River

Mud River operates as a premier brand under the Boyt Harness Company, which has been crafting quality outdoor gear since 1901.

The parent company was founded by Walter Boyt and his brother John, English immigrants who settled in Des Moines, Iowa and started in the saddlery business.

Over 120+ years, Boyt Harness Company evolved from saddle and harness manufacturing to become the hunting industry standard for gun cases and firearm storage before expanding into hunting dog accessories.

In January 2016, Mud River became a corporate partner with Ducks Unlimited, creating officially licensed DU products that benefit wetlands and waterfowl conservation efforts across North America.

Today, Mud River continues to provide high-quality hunting dog accessories and outdoor gear backed by more than a century of craftsmanship and innovation.
