I'm Rene D., the breeder behind Rene's Papillon located in Bon Aqua, TN. I carry a deep love and compassion for my dogs. My dogs are bred for health and temperament. My puppies are dewormed and current on vaccines. I hope to hear from you to give my fur-baby a forever loving home and new family. God Bless You.
Q. & A. with Rene
Why did you start breeding?
I was given a female Papillon puppy and while raising her I came to see the beauty, grace, elegance, and intelligence. I fell in love with the Papillons. After much research into this breed I choose to get my male fur-baby to add to our family.
What makes your program special?
My breeding program is special due to the love I share with each dog. I keep a clean and safe environment for them with play time.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include white and sable and black brown and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

We adopted Cora (formerly Lil Brit) from Rene. She was very responsive to our questions and provided regular updates on Cora until we picked her up. Rene did basic training with her puppies, such as using a litter box and sitting. We were several hours away from Rene, so she met us half way. We are very pleased with Rene and her little girl, and we are glad to have Cora as part of our family.

We got a Papillon from Rene and she has been so wonderful in raising these little puppies, she’s been so communicative with info and suggestions, so loving to the puppies and all very healthy and thriving. We couldn’t be happier, our puppy is perfect, temperament and health wise. I definitely recommend Rene for a puppy, she is a very ethical breeder and such a kind person who genuinely loves her dogs and puppies. We love our little addition to the family! 10/10 ❤️

I am so very happy and thankful that I found Rene and her beautiful Papillons on Gooddog! Not only did she provide THE most perfect fur baby for our family, She is a joy to work with, and was willing to travel and meet half way for pick up. Rene provided me with lots of pictures and updates and I received such a healthy, happy, well rounded pup. Everything she had promised, and then some. Ephiny, (formally Zoe) has slid right into our family as if she was always been meant to be here. And I am thrilled to be a part of this breeders family.
