Here is where our adventure began. Our shoppe was
originally located at 30 North Main Street in Bainbridge and we operated it
here for almost 7 years. At that time we were owned by 6 Basset Hounds,
Elliott Oliver Cooper, Miss Lucy Gooseberry (the Queen!), Franklin Augustus
Henry, Duncan Montgomery Doolittle Donut, Sadie Mae and Harrison McDoogle
Sampson and 3 Felines, Winston Churchill, Chloe and the infamous Murphy
Brown who still resides at The Houndstooth.
Since moving to our new digs our family has changed.
We lost our Elliott in January of 2009 and Franklin later in August. The
loss has been profound. The universe blessed us with Miss Dixie Chick who
is sometimes seen at the shoppe (we call her our mischievous maker so her
outings to the shoppe are limited!) and most recently we adopted Hamilton
Ackerman Foghorn, a stray from Kentucky. Our felines remain, Winston
Churchill, Miss Chloe and as always, the wonderful Miss Murphy Brown who
calls The Houndstooth her home.

After reading about holistic natural foods, we tried Elliott on Solid Gold and within a few very short weeks, he became a different dog. No more upset stomach and his coat became shiny and luxurious and his ears were spotless. We fully began to understand the benefit of feeding a wonderful food. Always ask yourself, if I only had one choice of food to eat, 7 days per week, 365 days per year AND I wanted to be healthy, would I eat hot dogs? Yet most commercial food and treats contain ingredients that hold little nutritional value.
We knew we needed to let other dog and cat lovers know the benefit of feeding superior foods coupled with holistic methods of healing so we opened The Houndstooth Bakery and Boutique on May 22, 2002. Since that time we have had the pleasure of shaking paws with so many wonderful new friends and hope we have helped a few along the way.
