Hd Poodles

HD Poodles breeds performance-focused standard poodles in Hesperia, California, in the high desert region of Southern California northeast of San Bernardino. The program is run by Dana Gurzenda, whose background with hunting hounds and a personal need for a low-dander dog led her to the standard poodle and eventually to establishing a small family kennel dedicated to the breed.

The program centers on four guiding principles: health, temperament, training, and socialization. Both sires and dams undergo comprehensive health testing, and the breeding stock holds titles in conformation and performance sports, reflecting the program's emphasis on dogs that are sound in body and mind. HD Poodles produces both parti and solid-colored standard poodles suited to sport, conformation, and companion homes, making it a destination for those seeking standard poodle puppies in Southern California.

Puppies are raised using Puppy Culture and AVID methodologies, with Early Neurological Stimulation and Early Scent Introduction beginning within the first days of life. Grooming desensitization starts at three weeks, and each litter progresses through crate training, basic obedience foundations, and scent work before placement. At six weeks, a Volhard temperament evaluation is used to help match each puppy to the right home.
