Meet the breeder
I'm Kelly D., the breeder behind A Breed Apart Papillons located in Londonderry, NH. We have AKC Papillons from Champion bloodlines. All puppies are sold with health certificates, health guarantees, up-to-date vaccines, and spay/neuter contracts.
Q. & A. with Kelly
Why did you start breeding?
I was born into a family where my Grandma and Aunt showed and raised Poodles. I always knew someday I’d find my own breed that I adored and had a great passion for. When my daughter was about 2 she started asking me for a dog, a “widdle one” . I spoke to my vet who suggested a Papillon and the research began. I bought our first Papillons for her 9th birthday and 25 years later I am still raising them.What makes your program special?
My love, care and knowledge of the breed is special. I do my absolute best to produce the healthiest, happiest puppies I can. From providing incredible nutrition and care to my adults to following a neurological stimulation program to help my pups turn into the best puppies they can. Pups are born next to my bed and spend quiet time bonding with their mom, once their eyes open the real fun begins!What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and sable and white black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
