Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Nach dem Sturm Kennels located in West Columbia, TX. Our breeding program emphasizes health testing and quality genetics, with a focus on temperament, working skills, and training. Our dogs are excellent working dogs, and we are proud to continue their line. We breed both to provide families with loving and capable companions and to improve upon our dogs' fantastic traits with each generation.

Jennifer’s experience

  • What makes Jennifer’s program special

    We breed to preserve the form and function of the working dog. Our goal is to contribute to the breed by cultivating dogs that can partner with their humans in a variety of environments. Whether you like to perform in the conformation ring, compete in sports, train in working sports, or simply lead an active life, our dogs will rise to the challenge.
