Meet the breeder
I'm Holly H., the breeder behind Holly Huxford located in Oakland, MD. I offer Papillon puppies, and occasional adults, raised in the home with lots of socialization, attention, and love! I own Huxford’s Papillons located in Western Maryland. I show and hand raise Papillons. This is where amazing temperament, intelligence, and beauty meet! Please contact me for a show or pet Papillon!
Q. & A. with Holly
Why did you start breeding?
I love the Papillon breed and want to help preserve it. I also want other people to see them. Papillons are not well known in the USA and I wish to change that!What makes your program special?
I take great care in selection of which dogs to breed to. I generally only have one to two litters a year; sometimes none! I have refused to breed my Champion male to other female Papillons before when I did not consider the breeding a good one. I genetically test all my dogs before breeding so my puppies have the best chance in life.Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
