Meet the cofounders!
Hendrix and Rosie are the root of He-Ro’s Bakery — hence the name.
In 2019, Ryan and I (He-Ro’s parents) went to a very small rural town to look at mutt puppies. We were in a new relationship and living together, so looking at these puppies may have been rash… 😬😅 We went in with light hearts and honestly expected to leave puppy-less. Within 5 minutes of sitting on the floor, “Charlotte” came and plopped herself in my lap. About 8 other puppies terrorized my shoelaces and my hands, but this Charlotte just sat in my lap and looked at me. At that moment, it was said and done. Charlotte was packed up in the car and heading home with us. About an hour later, she became Rosie. Rosie was a tiny little fuzzball that had regular potties in the carpeted floor and fancied chewing on my shoes. She loved to play and had an absolute NEED to please. After the puppy stages, Rosie became the best dog ever. Rosie is an absolute Angel and I’m so happy we decided to carry her along our relationship thus far.
A little over two years after getting Rosie, we (well… kinda more ME) decided it’d be nice to get ROSIE a puppy. Someone to keep her company and give her a little bit of confidence. A brother.
I looked for a few hours on PetFinder.com, and eventually came across a litter of little black dogs, located just a couple hours from where we are in Warsaw. The ad said something along the lines of, “I’m a K9 officer and my K9 got into our female AKC registered chocolate lab’s breeding pin… then came these puppies.” My eyes lit up when I saw this chunky little black pup with brown spots on his legs. I don’t think he had a name, but I know for sure that he was the FATTEST and the largest of the litter. 🤣 I worked my magic on convincing Ryan, and here we were, driving two hours on a Sunday night in October to pick up this fat little puppy. Low and behold, we picked him up, and he howled ALL. THE WAY. HOME. He was loud. For hours. Because of his loud nature, we named him Hendrix. At 11 months old, Hendrix has became the intelligent and roudy one. He’s large and in charge, for sure!
These two crazy kids are our babies.
They are my heroes. 🤍
