I'm Lena V., the breeder behind Pheasant Poppers Vizslas located in Sioux County, IA. We are a small kennel with high expectations! We strive to produce healthy, loving dogs that will excel in their forever homes. We keep in mind a variety of factors when breeding, including drive, energy, temperament, and structure. Our goal is to produce balanced dogs that will be able to thrive wherever they are needed.
Q. & A. with Lena
Why did you start breeding?
My husband was looking for a hunting dog. This was before the internet! He read up on the breeds for pointing dogs. He was very intrigued with the Vizsla. After many phone calls to Vets we finally found one an hour away from us. The rest is History we fell in love with the Vizsla! Best dogs ever! We love this breed! Our dogs have brought us so much love and happiness that we decided to start our own responsible breeding program by producing the highest quality dogs and providing them a wonderful life with wonderful families. Through many years of selective breeding we can bring you the best puppies ever.
What makes your program special?
We have been raising Vizsla pups for 30+ years! We do not need to tell you how much we love the breed and like bringing you a healthy well cared for puppy! We choose the best dogs for our breeding program. This brings you the ideal Vizsla close to standards and great disposition! Our dogs are an integral part of our family and daily life and we're lucky to share them with others that love them just as much.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are golden rust. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Getting a puppy from Lena
Lena has been certified by Good Dog’s screening team for responsible and trusted breeding practices. When you’re ready, reach out to ask about the puppies or anything else on your mind. You’ll get to know each other through messaging, phone, or video and pay securely, all on Good Dog.
Together, you’ll choose the puppy that’s right for you, stay in touch with regular updates, and plan how to bring your new puppy home.
Price
Puppy prices include a $1,000 non-refundable deposit and between $500 - $900 final payment, before taxes & fees.
“The pups are ready for their new home at 8 weeks. We put them on a schedule at birth to have tails docked, and dew claws removed in accordance with AKC standards. They will be dewormed and have two immunizations. They'll have lots of TLC and contact with people! They will also come with the pup papers to register them with AKC. We provide puppy food they are on and will help you to choose a good puppy food. We can also provide a blanket from our home to make the adjustment easier for the puppy. The deposit is only required after the pups are born. We do have a waiting list you can go on for free without obligation. We do ask some questions before and also do not add you just to have your name down; we need a true commitment to getting a pup then we know how committed you are to a puppy and we know if we want the pup to become a part of your family.”

About Daisy
Daisy is a female Vizsla. Carefully selected as a great representative of her breed, Lena decided to make her part of their program. Lena has passed Good Dog’s screening process, which involved a review of their breeding practices, environment, and the mental and physical health of their dogs.
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
