Heavensent Papillons - A Showcase About Us and Our Purebred Dogs

The Papillon is a very majestic breed enjoying a free spirit and the curiosity to attempt any challenge that might reward them with a positive experience and the praise of their loved one. Heavensent Papillons are about versatility... capable of doing many things competently with the beauty and brains to win. We are located in the Southeastern part of Virginia (Hampton Roads).

We are about the vision and the journey to keep climbing the ladder of success knowing that each step you take gets you higher to the top. We are about continued education, positive reinforcement and motivational reward-based training to achieve that winning aptitude and attitude. We live the principles of providing a well socialized home life for our dogs with a healthy attitude for learning. We live for our dogs and NOT off of them! From my seniors, young adults to weaning my puppies, they all thrive on the complete Healthy Pet Product, Inc (HPPI) raw diet and Solid Gold Bark At The Moon (salmon) and sometimes Merrick Before Grain (salmon) kibble daily and frozen HPPI ducknecks once a week. Their favorite treats are Bravo all natural beef trachea tubes. As a result, we have been blessed with happy butterfly dogs (and my Token toy poodle) who enjoy their freedom to run, dig, play and nap in their six acre yard and country home. They all also love their motorhome trips.

As a trusted guardian of the Papillon breed for 14 years, health exams and structural soundness is a primary focus. In the showring, I am an advocate and strong supporter of the Bred-By Exhibitor conformation class having been awarded the coveted American Kennel Club’s Bred By Exhibitor Silver Medallion in January 2008 in recognition of completing five different Champions of Record exclusively from the BBE breeder-owner-handler class. My first BBE Champion (Am./Can. Ch. Heavensent Nike Aire, SOM) was also breeder-owner-handled to being the AKC #4 Papillon in 2002 both in breed and all-breed points. I’ve also groomed and owner-handled my silver toy poodle to his breed championship (Ch. Broadbay’s Winters End…call name Token).
