Strong Puppies
Meet the breeder
I'm Julie S., the breeder behind Strong Puppies located in Illinois. We are pet owners first and foremost. All of our puppies are raised as members of our family until they’re ready to join yours. We raise our dogs in our home right alongside our family. We love being able to match our puppies with families that are the perfect fit for their personalities.
