Papillon Breeders, Mount Barker SA

I was lucky to be given my first Papillon by my parents when I was 13 years old. I fell in love with this gorgeous breed and over 40 years later the Papillon is still the breed for me. I show most weekends and strive to breed beautiful puppies both sound in body and mind. They are well socialised and raised as house pets. 2016 was a fantastic year owning Number 1 Papillon in Australia Number 1 Rising Star in Australia and also Number 1 female in Australia. In 2024 I was awarded The Top Honours of Top Dog In South Australia and also Best In Group Adelaide Royal Show! I have imported some beautiful dogs and used some lovely dogs here to breed top quality Papillons. If you have any questions or want to know more about this beautiful breed please call 0403001696. Evenings are best

This beautiful Baroque silky-coated companion originated, as shown in Old Master's work, in Spain. These dainty, affectionate little beauties were gifted within Europe's Royal courts & graced the laps of European aristocrats. Papillons & Phalènes underwent breed consolidation in the 1500s due to French & Belgian breeders, giving us these enchanting yet robust little dogs. Internationally named Continental Toy Spaniels, they come in many beautifully shaded silky coats with Papillons exhibiting characteristic heavily fringed butterfly shaped ears. Littermates with low-set ears look more like the wings of a moth, hence the name Phalène. We are committed to breeding from old lines dating back to the 1800s to maintain the closeness with history & culture. Frozen Semen (SWE) from SEU CH's CASPIAN'S MACINTOSH & SILENZIO'S SIR has been imported. Height 8" -11" & as adults, Weight 2kg to 4+ kg. They enjoy good health with some diligent breeders using genetic tests to manage health & beauty in this breed. They live into their late teens & are wonderful, affectionate companions. *Sanitation with F10 & PETLAB. *Our dogs are ORIVET FULL BREED PROFILED * Puppies DNA PVprofiled *Proud FCI breeder ; code 1/2020 *Member Papillon (Butterfly) Club of UK, CFENCRT France & DOGWELLNET *Completed & Passed AKC Papillon Judges Exam Jan 2023 *DACO148114 *ORIVET DNA Collector *QUALIFIED TAFE MC Implanter using THERMOCHIPS Always happy to answer questions on this unique dog
