J&M Decker Rat Terrier: Our Story and Commitment

The Monroes

Behind the J&M Decker Rat Terrier name is the two of us originally, Jillian and Michael Monroe! We are a husband and wife duo with our sweet five year old, daughter Olivia Jo and 9 month old son Gabriel. When growing up, Michael was raised around the Rat Terrier breed, on his families dairy farm , which inevitably led to our journey to breeding Decker line of Rat Terriers of our own. Jillian grew up with a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes, with a particular love for horses and dogs. Since she was a teenager, Jillian began rescuing, fostering, and training dogs. During her journey as an avid animal lover and advocate, she found her way into a kennel caretaking job, and veterinary office where she shadowed for some time before deciding that she wanted to be in a more happy and rewarding environment with the animals she loved most. Now Jillian is a full time dog groomer of 15+ years. With her husband they own 9 dogs of various breeds, 8 of which being their Decker Line Rat Terriers that you will come to know ( and love) on this page. All Decker Terriers from J&M will be brought into the world into a life full of love, compassion and fun with kids, cats, horses and other dogs. We are not mass producers and put a lot of time into our dogs, our dogs are our house pets and do not live in a kennel and we do this for the love of our favorite breed, that we hope to keep around for a long time to come!
