About

paw
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 over 22 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. Erin is now married and lives nearby with her husband and 3 young children. They breed, raise and train Labradoodles. My middle daughter, Gianna has graduated from grooming school and helps Erin and I with all that goes into raising excellent puppies. She enjoys training, grooming and spending time with our dogs. I am pleased that I have passed my compassion and love of dogs onto my children. Dogs offer so much unconditional love and always find a way to bring joy, happiness and peace!

Papillons are very smart and happy dogs

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.

Animal Behavior College Honors Graduate

During the last 25 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 at All Dogs Gym and with the Greater Derry Humane Society. Most recently I put a Canine Good Citizenship Title on several of my dogs through All Breeds Training Center.

They're our Family

Our 9 Papillons are members of our family. They are not out in a kennel, but live in our home 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 18 both dog groomers and love holding, talking and playing with the babies as do my two young grandchildren. They are kind and gentle. Socialization is such an important part of a nicely rounded even tempered puppy.

I am available for the life time of all my pups

paw
I am available for the life time of all my dogs, pups. I have many references. All of my breeders are PRA & NAD, Von Willebrand's and Factor VII tested, hearts and knees have been certified normal through the OFA. All 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 screen all potential buyers. This is the most awesome breed and I want to ensure that my babies end up in loving, safe homes.
