Bio

*****************************************************************************************************
HOUNDMADE is Matt, Jennifer, Hattie, Annabelle and Bubba. Matt makes stuff out of wood and Jennifer sews and paints. Hattie, Annie and Bubba model and chew up things that are important to us.

Our company grew out of our love for art, design and dogs. Jennifer has a Masters of Fine Arts and has been painting and creating art since she can remember. Matt has a Masters Degree in Library Science and is a self-taught woodworker.

While our own dogs don't actually make our products, they do inspire their creation. They model them for us too! Most importantly, they test them out. All HOUNDMADE items are 100% tested on our three big, furry, scratchy, chewy, licky, jumpy, rambunctious dogs! They check them out for comfort, durability and cuteness. No product gets sold at HOUNDMADE until it receives the doggie bark of approval.

Everything we make incorporates quality materials, craftsmanship and creativity.
We use the most durable, high quality harware and welded D-rings. The buttons on HOUNDMADE collars are securely fastened on using a heavy duty hot glue. They can be washed with the gentle cycle and dried on low heat.

Our collars can be custom made to fit your dog's neck and are available in the following widths:

3/4"
1"
1.5"
2"
