Heika Volka VonFrohnhoefer Current Breeding Female

Breeding March 2026 

Meet Heika, a beautiful female from my carefully developed breeding program, carrying forward the exceptional qualities of her lineage. Heika is the perfect blend of loyalty, affection, and athleticism. She has a deep desire to please, paired with a gentle, snuggly soul that makes her a joy to live with. Her playful spirit brings a fun-loving energy to every day, while her natural intelligence and enthusiasm make training both easy and rewarding.

​

Heika has a wonderful “on and off” switch ready to engage with excitement during play or training, yet calm and relaxed once she walks through the door at home. Watching her move is truly something special; she runs like the wind, her sleek black coat shining brilliantly in the sunlight. Her greatest passions are playing ball, learning new skills, and staying close to her people, always eager for the next activity you invite her to share.

Her loving temperament reflects the best of her family line the affectionate nature of her mother, Vala, and the joyful play drive of her grandmother, Una. Heika is a compact, athletic female weighing about 75 pounds, built for both speed and endurance. She loves car rides wherever life takes her and is happiest near water, whether splashing in her pool or enjoying a day at the lake.

​

Most importantly, Heika’s temperament is sound, stable, and family-oriented. She is wonderful with my 6-month-old grandson and clearly understands household rules and boundaries. With her balanced personality, intelligence, and loving nature, Heika represents exactly what I strive to produce in my program a loyal companion, devoted family dog, and confident German Shepherd ready to share life’s adventures with her future puppies’ families. 🐾

​

Una is a striking black/dark sable with a strong bone structure and excellent head conformation, complemented by a good ear set and a tight coat. Una comes from wonderful lines, being the offspring of Heika Vom Birken Wald (Female) and Ruhler Von Nordosten (Male) from Nordosten Kennel.

​

One of Vala's favorite places is the lake, where she enjoys spending time with her humans and pack members. Her favorite activities include playing tug and ball with her brother. Vala is a product of our breeding program, with her mother being Una Rieka Von Frohnhoefer and her father, Slobodan Stasi.

​

I am proud of Vala's lineage and look forward to the exceptional qualities she will bring to future generations.

Welcome To The Raw side and Lightly Cooked TCVM K-9 Food Therapy Page

​

I would like to introduce myself my name is Melissa Frohnhoefer. I am a Certified TCVM K-9 Food Therapist. My goal as a TCVM (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) Food Therapist is to use food as medicine to help pets achieve balance and overall health. I will provide customized diets based on a pet’s body constitution and imbalances (like too much heat, cold, dampness, or dryness) to support healing and prevent disease. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, I will choose specific ingredients that nourish the pet’s organs, energy (Qi), and immune system, promoting long-term wellness in a natural way.

​

For those who don't know what TCVM (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) is here is information on what it is all about.

 

TCVM (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) is a natural approach using an ancient healing system to support pets' health naturally. (TCVM) has been used for over 2,000 years. It includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, food therapy, and Tui-na (a type of therapeutic massage). TCVM focuses on balancing the body's energy (Qi) to promote healing, prevent illness, and improve overall well-being. It can be especially helpful for pain relief, digestive issues, anxiety, and chronic conditions in pets.

 

For those who don't know what Qi is here is a brief description: In TCVM, Qi (pronounced "chee") is the vital life energy that flows through the body, supporting health and balance. When Qi moves smoothly, pets stay healthy, but if it becomes blocked or weak, illness and pain can occur. TCVM treatments include acupuncture, herbs, and food therapy helps restore the natural flow of Qi to promote healing and well-being.

​

History of TCVM (used for animals) and TCM (used for people):

​​TCVM (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) has been practiced for thousands of years, with historical records tracing its roots back at least 2,000 years in China, primarily focusing on the treatment of horses during the Shang Dynasty (1766-1066 BCE). 

 

 TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine):

 has been practiced for over 5,000 years for people. The earliest written records of TCM date back to the Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BC).
