Spirit Poodles
Meet the breeder
I'm Jennifer A., the breeder behind Spirit Poodles located in Northfield, MN. We show and breed pet and performance dogs with health testing on parents and have very well-socialized puppies. While we love to show in conformation, agility, and lure sports, we don't require that of our buyers. We love placing Poodle puppies in active homes that will love our bombproof, beautiful, and happy Poodles. We have silver, blue, black, and white pups for discerning homes.
Q. & A. with Jennifer
Why did you start breeding?
I was showing dogs, finished my first champions, and became interested in having litters out of my champions' dogs.What makes your program special?
I make no compromises on the temperament of my breeding dogs. If they are not easygoing, friendly, and self-assured, they have no place in my program. No matter how beautiful or titled. I also do an incredible amount of socializing with the pups, which also means better temperaments later on.What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are standard size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies are blue. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and guardian homes.
