Heidi Strazdus

Heidi Strazdus, dog breeder in Virginia, the mid-Atlantic near Richmond. She has spent more than a decade dedicated to preserving healthy bloodlines, maintaining membership in national kennel organizations and ensuring adult dogs receive routine health screenings. Her puppies spend their early weeks in a family environment, receiving daily socialization, enrichment activities and gentle exposure to household sounds before moving on to new homes. Local veterinarians and past owners often comment on the calm disposition she nurtures through patient handling and thoughtful care.

Starting at two weeks of age, each litter is introduced gradually to gentle handling, basic cues and common household noises to build confidence. Puppies also enjoy supervised outdoor play in a secure, fenced yard where they can explore safely under watchful eyes. Small litter sizes allow for personalized attention and careful monitoring of health and temperament throughout the growth stages. Supportive guidance continues after placement, with open communication to help new families settle in and maintain well-established routines.
