Meet the breeder

I'm Valerie G., the breeder behind HoneyKyst located in Wesley Chapel, FL. Involved in conformation showing for over 40 years. I love being a part of the dog world. Health & temperament are most important as well as producing a correct representative of the breed. I strive to produce a papillon that is a good family member.

Q. & A. with Valerie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    After many years competing in conformation, I did many years of pedigree research (and still do daily), attended National specialities. I wanted to breed my own dogs and see them reach their fullest potential. My goal and the goal of every ethical breeder should be to preserve the standard and improve the breed.

  • What makes your program special?

    My program is special because I am committed to breeding the highest quality dogs. It is very important to me that my dogs are happy and healthy and a family member.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
