Meet the breeder

I'm Lauren R., the breeder behind Papillons in the Pines located in West End, NC. We breed top-quality Papillons with a focus on health, temperament, conformation, and socialization. We are a family-run breeding program. We raise our puppies in our home with our five kids and our Australian Shepherd. We breed papillons to share these wonderful dogs so other families can enjoy them as much as we do! Our focus is on temperament, health, and providing well-socialized puppies.

Q. & A. with Lauren

  • Why did you start breeding?

    When I was a kid, we had two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. My parents bred them a few times. It's one of my favorite childhood memories. I decided when my youngest daughter went into kindergarten, I would have time to invest in starting a breeding program. I love making the same memories with my kids as I had. I want to share this wonderful breed and show everyone how special Papillons are!

  • What makes your program special?

    We have 5 fun, healthy, smart, athletic, and sweet papillons with great confirmation. Our adult papillons and their puppies are raised in our home and loved from birth. Our kids interact with and handle the puppies daily. We introduce our puppies to different adults, kids, different environments, cars, and even boat and golf cart rides! Our goal is to raise well-rounded, and well-socialized puppies.

  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black brown and white, brown and white, sable, and white black and tan. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home.
