The first step in finding your perfect Papillon companion is to find an outstanding breeder you trust. Inspire Papillons makes that easy because we have the credentials and breeding track record to prove it! We are a prominent member of the American Kennel Clubs “Bred with H.E.A.R.T. program”. Breeders who are able to participate in the AKC Bred with H.E.A.R.T. Program make a pledge to uphold the program values of health, education, accountability, responsibility, and tradition. Inspire Papillons has achieved the American Kennel Clubs “Breeders of Merit” distinction. We have placed Papillons (Paps) into happy families across the United States. It gives us great pleasure to stay in touch and see our paps grow and become a valued family members of their new and loving home.

About the Papillon Breed

Sometimes called the “butterfly dog” because of its unusual ear shape—”papillon” means butterfly in French—the Papillon is one of the oldest toy breeds. Originally called the Dwarf Spaniel or Continental Toy Spaniel, the Papillon was depicted in artwork as early as the 16th century. Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette were known fans of the breed. Because of all of its sterling qualities, the Papillon is as popular today, as ever. If your checklist for the perfect pet includes beauty, brains, versatility, and constant loving companionship, BUT you want that all in a small package, the Papillon is for you.

Companionship: The Papillon has been a companion dog for centuries, and it’s really what he does best. Whether curled up in your lap, joining you on errands, “helping” you with chores, training for the show ring, taking car rides, or even joining you in the bathroom, he needs to be with you. If you’re not home, another pet, even a cat, is his second choice. What he does not want is to be alone. Luckily, you can take your Papillon almost anywhere, since he stands a diminutive eight-to-eleven inches tall and weighs somewhere between three and ten pounds.

Inspire Papillons has produced some of the healthiest, highest-quality bloodlines of Papillon puppies in the world. In 2020, high-quality Dams and Sires from the Russian Federation Institute were carefully selected and imported to breed with some of the highest quality American Kennel Club-registered Dam and Sire bloodlines. These bloodlines incorporate European countries such as Switzerland and Germany. In 2022, we received our first American Kennel Club Quality of Care Compliance Inspection which yielded a flawless review with no deficiencies or recommendations for improvement. This superior standard of care reflects highly upon the breeders and upon the quality of care, training, and safety being provided to our Papillons. The AKC Compliance review officer found the program to be in total compliance with all the AKC Standards of Care and Record Keeping. It is also worth noting that all of our Papillons are micro-chipped.

The following is what the American Kennel Club says about breeders who have current Breeder of Merit status. “Here at the AKC, we believe in honoring responsible breeders who have gone above and beyond on health issues, temperament, and genetic screening, as well as to the individual care and placement of puppies in responsible homes.
