Meet the breeder

I'm Jenifer S., the breeder behind Steadfast Farm (SFF) located in Tuttle, OK. Steadfast Farm is committed to producing healthy, well rounded Basenjis, bred to the standard for quality, type and movement. That being said, we feel it is equally important to produce puppies that make exceptional companions. This is why we strive to set our puppies up for success from the very beginning by incorporating the Puppy Culture protocols and enrichment opportunities with all our litters.

Q. & A. with Jenifer

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I have owned Basenjis since 1991. My first Tri bitch was bought as a pet. We ended up at Westminster?! I have been hooked ever since and absolutely love purposely bred purebred dogs. I breed because I want to preserve the Basenji breed. I have been extremely fortunate to have been encouraged and mentored by some of the best Basenji breeders in the world.
  • What makes your program special?

    A few things set my program apart. One is my many years in the veterinary profession and my deep understanding of the importance of producing a healthy, well-socialized puppy capable of living a good long life as a member of someone's family. To that end, I raise my puppies with Puppy Culture and that hands down sets my puppies up for success and sets my program apart from those that don't.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black and white, tri-color, red and white, and brindle and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
