I'm Jenny D., the breeder behind Rafter JM Aussies located in Fort Towson, OK. In 2023, after a decade in the industry, we made the tough decision to retire from the canine world. We have made the decision to leave my site up for now as a reference for anyone that can use it! We are always here to answer any questions!
Q. & A. with Jenny
Why did you start breeding?
I have had my fair share of dogs. The breed that stood out to me in all aspects as being "The One" was the Miniature Australian Shepherd. When the opportunity presented itself to leave the traditional work force and be a stay at home mom, I couldn't pass it up! I was able to dive headfirst into the dog world, learning the ins and outs of dog showing and preserving the breed I am so in love with!
What makes your program special?
Not only are we championed, health tested and Good Dog verified, we are a tight-knit family; a pack! We get to know our puppy families and stay in touch. We offer support and friendship for life! We use the Super Dog Bio-Sensor program as well as a modified Puppy Culture to ensure our puppies have the best foundation possible!
What are the different breed sizes in your program?
Our puppies are miniature size. Sizes will vary depending on the parent dogs.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include blue merle, red merle, red, and black. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
