I'm Jacob W., the breeder behind Jakes Lil Country Kennels located in Watseka, IL. Our pups are home-raised.

Our puppies are raised with love in our home, and we strive to help each one grow up with confidence so they are ready to thrive with their new families. They are affectionate, intelligent, and cute as can be!

Thank you Jacob for giving us our little Dexter! We love him so much. Jacob was very open, and honest. He is a great communicator about his dogs. He made the process of adding Dexter to our family very easy!

Jake was fast to respond and so easy to work with. He kept in touch with me about my little guy till we were able to bring him home. You can tell Jake really cares for his dogs and where they go. Theo got his eye scratched by is sister and Jake did an amazing job taking care of him and keeping me updated with his care. Theo is the sweetest puppy ever and is settling in to his new home so well. I would HIGHLY recommend Jake's Lil Country Kennels!

Jake is a wonderful breeder and guy. He genuinely cares for his dogs and wants them to be in a happy home. Our adoption was so smooth. Jake goes out of his way and travels long distances to get his dogs to their new owners. He drove 2 hours to meet us halfway. Our new puppy Luna is a sweetheart and a great addition to our family!! Thank you Jake!!

Jacob was quick in responding from the first day I found him in on good dog.com.
He was very informative and knowledgeable to all the questions I asked about the pug breed I wanted from him. He kept in touch with me periodically sending photos and updates on how the puppy was progressing for the 2 months while I waited. From all the updates and photos, till the day we picked up the puppy you can tell Jacob took very good care of him. We are very happy to have Silvio as our new family member.
