I'm the breeder behind Jennifer Somnis Standard Poodles located in Worthington, MN. I am a small, hobby, Poodle breeder. I take health testing very seriously and am always striving to educate myself to improve my program and the well-being of my dogs. Remaining a small program will allow me to give my program the attention it needs to thrive. Breeding healthy and happy Poodles is such a joy.
About Jennifer
I have been working in a vet clinic for 25 years. Because of that, I have a lot of experience with whelping pups from the beginning.
What makes Jennifer’s program special
I'm learning as I go, along with doing genetic testing on both my Poodles and will soon be doing OFA evaluations as well. I am always open to learning from other people.

Why Jennifer started breeding
I began breeding because of my love for dogs. I decided to get involved with breeding Great Danes initially and now Standard Poodles. I love the whelping process, and it's so rewarding helping them come through life and watching them grow.
