My whole life has revolved around animals, people and children. I was raised on a small farm
in NH and my grandparents raised and showed poodles. I am a registered nurse and the
mother of 3 children. I have been breeding Papillons for 10 years. Our oldest daughter, Erin,
wanted a "Yittle" dog since she first learned to speak. After much research and speaking with
my vet we settled on the Papillon. He told me that it was a very healthy breed with very few
genetic or medical concerns. We started in dog 4-H not long after acquiring our first 2 paps.
Erin literally had a room full of ribbons and trophies.
Papillons are very smart and excel at obedience and agility, although they are just as happy
being lap dogs. Whatever your lifestyle, they happily adapt and adjust. They love romping
outside or can be just as easily house trained to use piddle pads for people who live in
apartments. During the last 10 years I have been involved at various times with dog 4-H. I
was the assistant leader for a few years. I have also been a judge at several local dog fairs. I
am a certified dog trainer. I graduated with honors in 2003 from Animal Behavior College. I
did my apprenticeship at Petco in Manchester NH. I have also trained with the Greater Derry
Humane Society.
Our 6 Papillons are members of our family. They are not out in a kennel, but sleep on our
beds and have quite a nice life. Pups are born in a whelping box next to my bed. The next 2
weeks they are quietly spent with mom, nursing and growing. Once their eyes open at around
2 weeks the fun and socialization begins. My youngest daughters are 6 and 7 and love
holding, talking and playing with the babies. Socialization is such an important part of a nicely
rounded even tempered puppy.
I am available for the life time of all my dogs, pups. I have many references. All of my puppies
and dogs are sold with a health certificate and medical guarantee. I do not recommend
Papillons for people with very young children, due to their small size. I want to make sure that
my babies end up in safe,wonderful, forever homes. I will ship puppies if the circumstances
are right and screen all potential buyers. This is the most awesome breed and I want to
ensure that my babies end up in loving,safe homes.
