Houndstown?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if Houndstown is still around? The website is fine and the Etsy shop isn't selling anything. They had such a great harness, I was going to send a link to a friend, but they are no where to be found.

I have seen on other forums, people asking the same question.  One of the Virginia (?) adoption groups is selling his products.

Friends says appears to disappeared due to a possible divorce and it was his wife who did the sewing.  :dunno

Although Houndstown has a FB page, it is out of date.  His Etsy shop is closed. GIG's list of vendors has him with James River Greyhounds in VA. There are no collar or harness listings in the JRG shop.

I don't know who makes these for Hound-Safe, but she has good stuff, vends at GIG, and is sometimes here on Greytalk.

Editing to add the Hound-Safe harness are made by Houndstown but are very very short supply and there may not be a re-stock available. Tell your friend that she needs to order soon.

If you need an alternative, the 2 Hounds Design Harness works well, and FreeToFeet is a collar maker out of Charlottesville, VA.

Ok, thanks so much. I have one of his safety banner reflective harnesses for my huntress. If she sees a squirrel all bets are off of she's wearing a martingale or a regular harness, but she can't slip out of the safety banner harness.

I have several 2Hounds harnesses, but my girl can slip them. My friend's dog has an even higher prey drive, so I wanted to recommend the Houndstown Safety Banner Harness to her.

Thanks for the link, I checked and they are all out of stock. I sure hope he'll stay making them again. Great quality and the price was great, too. I call it Gildy's Versace ala 80's Madonna S & M harness!

Contact Hound-Safe anyway in case she hasn't updated her website.
