Meet the breeder

I'm 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.

Jenifer’s experience

  • About Jenifer

    I am a life-long animal lover and breed critically endangered Hackney Horses and select Hackney Crosses for sport, as well as my breed of choice for 30 years- Basenjis. Additionally, I have spent 30 years in the veterinary profession as a technician and hospital administrator. I think these life experiences make me exceedingly aware of the need to promote good stewardship across the board.

  • What makes Jenifer’s 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.

Enrichment and socialization

I use Puppy Culture and follow the protocols as closely as possible. We take our puppies safe places. We introduce them to new things and safe dogs. We have at least one puppy party before they go to their new homes. Throughout their development, we introduce new sounds, objects, smells, and experiences. We work on recall and loose leash walking before the puppies leave. We crate train all the puppies before they leave. We work on resource guarding and instill positive CERs before it ever becomes an issue. We do everything we can to set our puppies up for success. I utilize the following enrichment methods: Socialized with other animals, Introduced to people of different ages and appearances, Socialized with other dogs, Daily handling, Scent introduction, Socialized in new places, Socialized with children, Surface & tactile stimulation, Car rides, Various sounds, Crate Training, Leash Walking, and Household Desensitization.

More about Jenifer

  • Why Jenifer started 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.
