Meet the breeder

I'm Joy F., the breeder behind Joy Furey Pixy Puff Papillons located in Harrisburg, IL. I have loved Papillons for many years, but it wasn't until 2005 that I began raising them. In my opinion, they are some of the smartest and cutest dogs in the world. Puppies are raised inside my home. Weather permitting, puppies enjoy tumbling around outside on our mini-farm.

Q. & A. with Joy

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I had never heard of Papillons when I found an adorable, small puppy at a pound. I was told she was a Sheltie-Terrier mix. Years later I happened to see Kirby win Grand Champion. As soon as I saw him, I realized Missy had been a Papillon! In 2005, I had my first litter of Papillon puppies. Seeing the look on new owners faces when they see their puppy is priceless.

  • What makes your program special?

    I endeavor to raise happy, healthy puppies. In that effort, my puppies and adult dogs get to be dogs. They are not constantly cooped up inside. They see/interact with bigger dogs, cats and chickens and sometimes goats/ducks on our mini-farm. Parents of puppies have been tested and cleared or cleared through parentage/lineage for PRA-PAP1, NAD and von Willebrand disease; results upon request.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.

    Joy has patiently worked with me for almost 2 years on me committing finally to receiving Chalupa from her. Joy and I started talking, building a relationship with one another with dogs she was selling on the "Good Dog" website. I tried for 1 of her babies who was almost a year old - we were talking and someone inserted the deposit on "Cody" and I missed out. Money talks and BS walks right ? I had seen her puppy "Lightening's" markings - most beautiful colors on a dog - the colors I wanted and a male - so we continue to talk. Here come "Jolly and Jingle" - different markings but ? I was not so sure. They could be taken in January of 2026, and I live in Michigan - upper peninsula, Marquette, next to Lake Superior - most horrific winter here that I have been through for a while and the thought of potty training at that point in time - I passed again. June 28th, 2026 - here come puppy 1 and puppy 2 - my colors. I will be picking up "Chalupa" aka puppy 1 on September 26th after his next round of a scheduled vaccine on September 25th. Joy has answered all of my questions on getting ready for Chalupa to travel home with us from puppy food to what she uses for potty training. I could not ask for a more pleasant, personable, and knowledgeable breeder. Chalupa will be joining our 8-year-old "Gizmo, aka Gizzy, Gibby, Littleman here in Marquette, Michigan. This has been a very thought out and talked about union of the 2 by Joy and I. Joy answers messages left in a very timely manner too. I am excited and nervous all at the same time as I have never had 2 dogs in the same home at the same time. Joy has given me good advice for transitioning "Chalupa - Chalups" with our Gizzy. I plan to share pictures of Chalupa with Joy as he grows up and the 2 of them together. I have read having 2 pets is good for the both of them - we will see, and I believe this is going to be a good, and positive for our Gizzy and us. It will honestly break my heart as I remove Chalupa from all he has known at 12 weeks old. The 12-week mark is due to my work schedule and Joy has been so very accommodating. I would think all other people who have purchased their "baby" from Joy feel the same as I do. My work schedule has also allowed me to be home for "Chalupa's" first 3 weeks in Marquette, Mi - and puppy daycare/check-ins once I go back to work. Yes, I am over the top - but Joy has entrusted me with one of her babies. I will give him and create a very loving home for him - Dee Havenor
