Hoze Houndz is a Canadian animated television program which premiered October 4, 1999 on Family Channel.[1] It features six dalmatian dogs (Hozer, Squirt, Steamer, Fontaine, Crystal and Brooke) who work as firefighters in the fictional town of Bonehead Hollow.

Produced by Amberwood Entertainment,[2] with production, pre-sales and licensing by Alliance Atlantis,[3] each of the 78 half-hour episodes produced consisted of two 11 minute stories with interstitials.

The 2002 episodes "Hockey Night in Bonehead Hollow" and "Phantom in the Arena" featured Ron MacLean and Don Cherry voicing commentators at hockey games, parodying their own real-life roles with Hockey Night in Canada.[4]
