I'm Christine T., the breeder behind Kica Papillons located in Red Feather Lakes, CO. We’re proud of the healthy, affectionate, and behaviorally well-rounded puppies we raise for other families to love! We care so much about each of our dogs and make sure to find our puppies the perfect families and individuals with lifestyles that will complement this amazing breed.
Q. & A. with Christine
Why did you start breeding?
Started with showing/breeding Turkish Angora Cats in early 1990s. Got my first sheltie in 1995 and got into breeding those in early 2000s. Always loved papillons (it was close between shelties and papillons for that first dog) so I got a "trial" pap named Finn. First litter of papillons in 2024.
What makes your program special?
No kennel dogs here. These dogs are my "kids" and are raised as such. It's their house-I just feed them and pay the mortgage!
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.
Matched dogs
These dogs are already reserved or have gone home.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Christine. She is the best and has the sweetest papillons! I was lucky enough to come home with one and he is GORGEOUS, very well behaved, extremely social, loves people, and I cannot imagine life without him! He goes everywhere with me and we are inseparable! The vet said he was/is in perfect health and all is well!! I would happily work with Christine again and definitely recommend.

We absolutely LOVE our baby from Kica Papillons. Christine was a real pleasure to work with, knowledgeable, responsive and invested in our happiness with our new family member, as well as the well being of the puppy. She fully accommodated my travel/pick up schedule and came prepared with a nice hand-off: food and a piece of cloth bearing the scent of the puppy's mom and litter mates. Our baby girl, Fergie, has already "taken over" our house, confidently getting to know our other pets and exploring this new world. Our vet announced, "she's perfect!" and we couldn't agree more.
