Q. & A. with Jayden

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After owning Rat Terriers most of my life, I developed a deep appreciation for their versatility and personality. Through my work in veterinary medicine, I saw the importance of thoughtful breeding and early development. I started a small, intentional program focused on raising health-conscious, temperamentally sound companions rather than breeding at high volume.

  • What makes your program special?

    The Puppy Patch is a small, home-based program in Molalla, OR where dogs are family first. Puppies are raised hands-on with early socialization, enrichment, and safe exposure to household, rural, and controlled clinical environments. With my veterinary background, health and preventive care are prioritized, and I remain a lifelong resource for my families.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white and red, red white and sable, white and silver, black tan and white, and white, chocolate and tan. 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.

    We had a great experience working with Jayden. He is very knowledgeable and I can really tell he cares about his puppies. He was quick to answer any questions we had. We traveled from New York to get Luigi and he made sure he had all the papers/shots he needed for the plane. Jayden spent time with us at the airport answering all our questions and sent him home with a care package to make his adjustment easier. He still keeps in touch to see how he’s doing.Luigi is the sweetest little puppy with a great disposition. I would recommend Jayden to anyone looking to get a Rat Terrier.

    Our experience with Jayden and the entire process was just a pleasure. It's obvious that our little puppy was cared for and raised to be a great dog. Not only was the entire experience outstanding and easy and enjoyable but Jayden, who is a pet professional, supplied us with so many great items to get our little puppy easily acclimated to his new home. If you're looking for a great puppy and an enjoyable experience finding a puppy, I fully recommend Jayden and the puppy patch. We love our new family member and couldn't be happier. Thank you Jayden!!!

    Working with Jayden from The Puppy Patch Rat Terriers was a wonderful experience. He kept me updated throughout the process, answered my questions, and clearly cared about his puppies. My little girl settled in quickly. She is active, affectionate, and eager to learn. She almost always uses her potty pads, with only a couple of accidents at first, and she has already learned the “fetch” command. It’s clear that she had a great start before coming home. I had a very positive experience and would highly recommend The Puppy Patch Rat Terriers to anyone looking for a Rat Terrier puppy.

    Like most people you can only do so much research on a breeder, in the end you just have to be willing to take a chance on a commitment that can last a long time. In my case I didn’t know anyone or anything have to do with Jayden. I asked all the normal questions most of us would ask. For myself I’m concerned about a puppy mill, or some other awful thing. All of my instincts told me Jayden is the real thing. I’ve been around some pretty nutty breeders. I’ve never met a more loving breeder, crazy knowledgeable than Jayden. I assumed he was a veterinarian because he was so knowledgeable. I feel like I really lucked out with him. Come to find out there’s a reason why he’s so knowledgeable, he actually is trying to become a veterinarian. He was so thorough explaining everything to me about my female, wish I had a quarter of his patience, but it’s obvious he cares so much about where his puppies might go home to, some of the questions he asked felt a little personal to me, but I quickly realized was only because he cares so much about his puppies. Anyway, two weeks of no sleep since I picked up my puppy and I couldn’t be more happy with Jayden being the breeder. I feel so fortunate to have had him.

    I have been meaning to write about my experience getting my rat terrier puppy, Copper, from Jayden, but we've been having too much fun for me to sit down and write about it! First, I am really impressed with the transparency and honesty that Jayden showed when answering all my questions before the purchase. It was very clear that he cares deeply about finding good homes for his puppies. Copper is an angel. Just as Jayden described, he's got a very sweet and warm personality. Everyone who meets little Copper falls in love with him. Although I am an experienced pet owner, I appreciated how Jayden still provided basic information, an initial cache of his current food, and a toy and blanket that Copper loved. Copper had a very smooth transition moving in with me. There was no crying, no drama. He didn't show any signs of separation anxiety and just took over my house as if he was paying the mortgage. Another thing that I appreciated about Jayden is he asked me what my daily activities looked like and what I'd be doing with Copper. He had a few unclaimed puppies and wanted to find the one best suited for my lifestyle. Based on me telling him that I like go for long drives in my car and boat trips, Jayden recommend Copper because he travels well and is pretty mild energy compared to some of his littermates. Jayden's guidance was perfect. Copper fits in perfectly as my travel companion and first mate on my boat. Lastly, after I got Copper, I followed the recommendations of Good Dog and took him to my local vet for a checkup. Copper was in perfect health, which was a big sigh of relief. After going through this experience with Jayden, I can comfortably say that I highly recommend checking out his puppies. Copper is an incredible addition to the family. He's the sweetest boy, and I'd do it all over again with Jayden.
