Meet the breeder

I'm Kathy F., the breeder behind A Circle Of Love Papillons located in Derry, NH. We’re proud of the healthy, affectionate, socialized, and behaviorally well-rounded puppies we raise, carefully socialized and health-tested to ensure they are excellent companions for families. All of the parent dogs are OFA certified for knees and hearts and have undergone Gensolx Papillon Panel screening to confirm health and vitality. We only place our puppies in excellent pet homes that meet our standards of care and love.

Q. & A. with Kathy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After meeting this remarkable breed at my veterinary office, I became fascinated by their lively personality and elegant appearance, characterized by their distinctive butterfly-like ears and swift movements. I dedicated months to researching the breed's history, including their origins in France, their unique traits such as intelligence and agility, and specific care requirements like grooming needs and dietary considerations. For over 25 years, we have sought the perfect Papillons to join our family, which inspired us to start our own breeding program focused on maintaining the breed’s health, temperament, and appearance. Our goal is to preserve and uphold the breed's exceptional qualities, ensuring it remains as spectacular and beloved as it has been for hundreds of years. We will only place our puppies in loving families who have ample time and dedication to meet the meticulous grooming, exercise, and socialization needs this perfect little breed demands.

  • What makes your program special?

    My Papillons are cherished members of our family. I dedicate my heart and soul to caring for each Papillon and their offspring, ensuring they receive the finest attention and care. My goal is to offer you a perfect, loving, well-socialized, healthy, and exceptional Papillon puppy. Each puppy comes with a current health certificate issued by a licensed veterinarian, up-to-date vaccines appropriate for their age, a negative fecal exam to confirm they are free of parasites, a comprehensive health guarantee, and an extensive care package that includes all the essentials introduced to them here, such as nutritious food, grooming supplies, and starter toys.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include white and lemon, fawn and white, white and black, white and red, red white and sable, brown and white, black red and white, and black brown and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
