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.

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.

    I saw Aramis on here while scrolling and having no intention to buy a puppy right then, but he was perfect and I ended up making an account just for him. Rene is great and she did a good job of not only being his first home, but of naming him too it suits hime perfectly. She made something that could have easily been a stressful experience easier, and she's so incredibly thoughtful and cares about the puppies. She sent him home with a toy panda he had since he opened his eyes and had been sleeping with among other things he needed. She sets up her puppies for success in their new homes. I'm very lucky that I came across someone like her when I found the right dog.

    Rene was amazing to work with! It was easy communication and Rene answered every question I could have had and more, along with keeping me very updated with photos and videos. It was amazing. My girl Praya, formerly Rosemary, has been an absolute joy and more than I could have hoped for. From the moment I picked her up, it was obvious that Rene had given her an incredible foundation. She was confident, friendly, and well-socialized, adjusting to her new home much easier than I expected. You can truly tell that she was raised with so much love and care during those important first weeks. Her sweet temperament and willingness to learn have made training and bonding such a wonderful experience, and I am so thankful for the amazing start Rene gave her.

    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.

    We got our papillon puppy Olive (formerly Sage) from Rene and could not be happier! From our very first conversation, Rene was responsive, transparent, and clearly cared deeply about her dogs. She answered all of our questions (no matter how small) and made the whole process feel easy and trustworthy. Olive came home healthy, well-socialized, and confident. She settled in quickly and has the sweetest temperament. You can tell she was raised with a lot of love and attention before she ever got to us. Rene sent updates and photos leading up to pickup. If you are looking for a breeder who treats her puppies like family and stays genuinely invested in where they end up, Rene is wonderful. We are so grateful to have found her, and Olive has been the best addition to our home. Highly recommend.

    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 ❤️
