I'm Cheri S., the breeder behind Coppertone Papillons located in Show Low, AZ. My daughter Kate and I are a small breeder of only AKC registered champion bloodline Papillons, some champion sired. These little angels are our family & we'd love to share them with yours! 2 of my granddaughters have attained championship for their dogs. We do all genetic tests currently available.
Q. & A. with Cheri
Why did you start breeding?
I have been breeding dogs since the 1980s. I believe every family should have the opportunity to add the joy and beauty of a dog to their lives.
What makes your program special?
My daughter, granddaughters and I are a small breeder, so we have time and resources to make sure each puppy gets the love and attention they deserve. We evaluate our puppies at 8, 10, & 12 weeks to determine if they could be sold for show quality or as a companion. If you cannot care for your dog at any time, we will take them back or help you rehome them.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include sable, white and lemon, red, red white and sable, fawn and white, and black red and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Chela is a rare Hound-tri in her coloring. So she's like a tri-color, but there are contrasting colors in her head, so she's a hound-tri. Chela is very intelligent and perfectly well-behaved. She throws show quality puppies.
