Our Story-Rockhound Outfitters is based on our love of the great outdoors and of our dogs!
If your happy place is outside, on an adventure, with your dog, hanging with family… We get it, that’s us too! Life should be all about embracing an active life, full of fun and adventure with your dog and the ones you love. It’s our belief that one of the secrets to a happy life is owning a dog. We want to encourage you to get out and seek that adventure with your furry friend every day. From a walk down a back road, at the beach, or a swim in lake Michigan. It’s up to you to define what adventure means to you.
We love the forests, fields and lakes of Northern Michigan. If there ever was an adventure that we loved the most, it’s always the ones that we get to experience together with our dogs in tow. Our family has always had dogs, and we never have considered them pets, always family! From boating, camping, hiking, all the way to vacations or just hanging out on the couch, our pups are there with us.
Our family currently has 2 dogs. We’ve adopted from our local shelter and had purebreds at different times. One thing that has never changed is our love for our pups, no matter their background or where they came from. So, when we created Rockhound Outfitters, it was an easy decision to partner with our local humane society to help homeless dogs in need. Rockhound Outfitters donates a percentage of proceeds to the Little Traverse Bay Humane Society (L.T.B.H.S) and the Charlevoix Area Humane Society (C.A.H.S).
Our Furry Family
Gunnar: Our chocolate lab, with the perfect personality. You could say he’s the best cuddlier, but bed-hog is a little more like it! He absolutely loves his ball. Ask him to go outside, and you can bet he’s going to find a ball to take with him! Give him a treat, and you just might catch him doing his “happy dance”!
Bailey: She’s the princess with a dramatic personality to match! Our Bluetick Coonhound and Walker mix, loves to spend most days snoozing away in the sun. Upon the chance that she gets a spurt of energy, she loves to chase a squirrel or play with one of her squeaker toys which won’t be intact much longer!
