Meet the breeder
I'm Dawn J., the breeder behind Jake's Kennels located in Wayne, NE. We care deeply about Rat Terriers and have built that love and respect for the breed into every aspect of our program. Our goal is to ensure every dog that comes from our program is set up to live a happy and healthy life and is prepared for its future role when it leaves our care.
