I'm Deb W., the breeder behind Deb Williams' Papillons and Miniature American Shepherds located in Shelby County, IN. We’re in-home breeders who love showing our dogs in the daytime just as much as we enjoy snuggling with them at night. Our dogs regularly compete in the show ring and are proven champions. Puppies are bred for health, temperament, and to meet conformation standards. It would be our pleasure to introduce your family to your next pup!
Q. & A. with Deb
Why did you start breeding?
We wanted to do our part to better the breeds. Our breeding program strives to maintain the unique characteristics of the Papillon and American Miniature Shepherd while placing an emphasis on producing puppies of superior health, temperament, and conformation. We primarily breed Papillons and only recently added Minis. It's been a wonderful journey, and we love what we do.
What makes your program special?
We are committed to only breeding dogs that meet the strict guidelines for quality we've deemed appropriate to improving these wonderful breeds. We take great care with each breeding to ensure we are producing puppies that are excellent representations of the standard. We love what we do and truly want the very best for our puppies and their forever families.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
