Meet the breeder

I'm Elyse V., the breeder behind Clearlake Papillons located in Webster, TX. Using all of the knowledge I have accumulated over my decades of experience in the dog world, I work to create the best possible Papillon breeding program that produces puppies of the highest quality. I focus on health, sound structure, and cultivating winning temperaments in my dogs.

Q. & A. with Elyse

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I began showing dogs with my family back in 1968. I fell in love with the dog world and threw myself into showing. I still show Papillons with my mother and always look forward to the opportunity to spend time with family and my dogs.
  • What makes your program special?

    Everyone thinks their own program is special. Hopefully after 30 years I've gotten a little better at it. :-)
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Thank you Good Dog for introducing me to Elyse. She is an outstanding conscientious breeder. After speaking with her and inviting me to pick up my puppy so I could meet the parents, I knew I was in good hands. The day I picked up my puppy I knew I made the right choice. My puppy is beautiful! Elyse gave me great information and tips about the breed. All of her papillon's were drop dead gorgeous. Now that I have had my little Bandit for several days, I couldn't be happier!!! A perfect fit! The purchase process was so simple. Thank you Elyse for providing me the opportunity to make one of your fur kids a part of my life.
