I'm Marion F., the breeder behind Akai Papillons and Phalenes located in Benton City, WA. My puppies are raised in my home with attention to health, temperament and good looks. They are socialized and given lots of mental stimulation.
My Phalenes (drop eared Papillon) have been featured on the Westminster Kennel Club site, and have World Titles, as well as being seen on Animal Planet's Breed All About It.
Q. & A. with Marion
Why did you start breeding?
Since my earliest memory, I've always wanted the best dogs anyone could own. That desire led me to get involved in dog shows, and from there, the urge to breed my own show dogs. Over the last 34 years breeding and showing the best has become my passion.
What makes your program special?
I am very selective in whose stud dogs I use. I am one of the few breeders of Phalenes (drop eared Papillons) in the USA.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
