Meet the breeder
I'm Devyn O., the breeder behind O’Kejas Kennel located in Worcester County, MA. We offer quality Australian Shepherd pups from carefully planned litters. We focus on health, size, temperament, and working lines. Each puppy is bred, raised, and loved indoors and on our farm to ensure health, happiness, well socialization, and harmony at the start of its life.
Q. & A. with Devyn
Why did you start breeding?
As a child, my mother and grandmother bred and raised Cocker Spaniels. I loved being able to help and learn the process firsthand. I bought my first Australian Shepherd female in 2020, knowing there was the possibility of breeding her. We brought in our male and have since done all necessary testing and look forward to breeding them!What makes your program special?
I pride myself on giving the best information to not only my customers, but anyone who inquires. I make sure everyone is prepared before and well after the arrival of their new best friend. I offer free lifetime support and discounts on training for any of our offspring.What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include red merle, blue merle, black tri-color, and red tri-color. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
